Out of all the rooms in our houses, the bathroom stands to benefit the most from simple upgrades and elements to complement its décor.
This however does not require heavy remodelling and can be done by anyone, anytime and affordably.
In this article we’ll try to come up with 9 things you can do today to craft a cosy bathroom retreat by yourself and hopefully create a welcoming, comfortable retreat.

A small table

Do you regularly find yourself enjoying a sweet bubble bath? Try adding a small table beside your bathtub. Wooden stools go great with a minimalist look and will make your bathroom look more luxurious. Use the stool or table to prop your phone up or use it as a stand to hold your Bluetooth speaker or a glass of wine.

Add greenery

A small plant can transform how your bathroom looks. Place trees like palm leaf trees beside your bathtub and enjoy its transformative power.

Add metallic or brass accents

A dash of metal or brass can make your bathroom look much more polished and fancier. Though brass bathroom accessories tend to be on the more expensive side of the price spectrum, it is an easy upgrade to transform how your bathroom looks. From mirror frames to tissue boxes, there are several accessories to bling up your bathroom.

Use a colourful rug

Rugs often add a personality to any room it adorns and is a great bathroom design idea. Similarly, a colourful rug will do wonders to improve the ambience of your bathroom and add a vibrant shade to it. This is absolutely a fun way to introduce texture, print and colour to your bathroom.

Use a single colour paint

When you stick with one single colour for your bathroom, it makes it quite easy to set up the tonal standards on a budget. Bright colours are both trendy and interesting. And by mentioning trendy and interesting a paint brand comes to mind; Colourtrend, check their bathroom range of paint and colours available for every mood, feel and layout here. Match other sanitary equipment in the bathroom accordingly to maintain uniformity which makes your bathroom much more elegant and stylish. And with a colourful rug as mentioned above, introduce a striking balance in your bathroom.

Install some shelves

Small bathrooms often lead to clutter and a lack of space to store all your essential toiletries. If you are looking to make a more organised effort into clearing up space in your bathroom, installing a shelf is an efficient bathroom design idea. Place it above your sink or behind a mirror so save even more space and have handy access to bathroom essentials. Shelves with brass or wooden accents are sure to go great with a brightly painted bathroom.

Install a Heated Towel Rack

A heated towel rail is a must-have in warm cozy bathrooms. This is an inexpensive and simple upgrade to make, and it comes with a couple benefits. First, it helps dry damp towels. Second, these rails get your towels nice and toasty, which helps replicate the spa experience.

Find the Perfect Mirror

Bathroom mirrors aren’t just utilitarian. When you’re looking for a mirror or medicine bathroom cabinet to hang above or on the side of the bathroom vanity, look for a beautifully styled mirror that doubles as decoration. Niko bathrooms offers full sets of matching vanity units and mirrored bathroom cabinets.

Focus on the Senses

A truly cozy bathroom is one that takes sight, touch and scent into consideration. Start by turning the bathroom into a lovely place, and make sure to mix in pleasing textures — fluffy towels, a soft rug in front of the shower, a plush robe or fuzzy slippers. Scent is important, too. Anything from potpourri to warming oils can be used to heighten the mood you’re trying to achieve.
