Bathrooms can be one of the most important rooms in your house. For most, it’s where you get ready for work, shower after a long day, or prepare your makeup for a special date night with your loved one. Reasons like this are why you should make sure your bathroom is one of your favorite places to be, both in style and functionality. Here are our tips on how to transform your bathroom from boring and bland to stylish and bold!
The nice thing about transforming your bathroom is that you can do it at your own pace. Each of the tips we’re about to give you can be done in the span of a day, and all of these can be done by yourself, without the need for a professional!
Brightening Things Up With A New Coat Of Paint.
There’s nothing wrong with a plain white bathroom, but why settle for plain! A fresh coat of paint can completely change the overall look of the room. A light, neutral green or blue color can bring a warm feel to a room and works well for those looking to transform their bathroom into a farmhouse-style feel. Or use a coat of silver or grey and bring your bathroom into something sleek and modern.
Upgrade That Shower
If I asked you what manufacturer made your shower system, would you be able to tell me? For most, the answer is no. Usually, the shower head was there when you purchased the home, and depending on how long you’ve owned the home, it could be pretty out of date!
A new shower system not only makes your bathroom feel better, but it can also make you feel better, too! Most modern shower systems feature multiple water settings to let you find the perfect match.
One of our favorites at the moment is the ZLINE Emerald Bay Thermostatic Shower System. This perfect shower system comes in 5 different finishes, including brushed nickel, chrome, gunmetal, matte black, and polished gold.
It features a rain shower head that you’ll never want to get out from under, as well as a detachable showerhead and bar for your convenience. (pro tip, these are perfect for doggie bathtimes!)

New Towels, Mats, and Curtains
Paint is the main color factor of any bathroom, which makes towels, bath mats, and shower curtains your accessories. A matching set, or at least complementary colors, can really spruce up your bathroom.
New Bathroom Hardware
Another great way to accessorize your bathroom is by replacing your bathroom hardware. New towel bars, rings, and toilet paper holders might seem like a small piece in your bathroom, but things like this can really bring the room together.

Bathroom Faucet
While replacing your entire bathroom sink and vanity would certainly transform a room, it isn’t always the most logical choice in all homes. A simpler alternative is just changing out the faucet. This can be done pretty easily on your own and can give your sink area a much-needed facelift.
One of our current favorites is the ZLINE Aloha Bath Faucet. We personally love the black matte finish, as it complements most bathrooms with its simple, but bold design.
