Quick Bathroom Improvements & Ideas in Marin, San Francisco CA

At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County and San Francisco, we know that many of our clients would love to remodel their bathroom but just don’t have the budget for a luxury change like that right now. If you’re in that position, never fear—you can still make some pretty big improvements quickly and without a giant blow to the wallet. Plus, your bathroom’s new “facelift” might give you a good return on your investment if you’re thinking of selling anytime soon. Read on for some of our tips on areas you might direct some focus.

Using Mirrors

This could be the easiest of changes, and might really offer a big impact, especially for such a minor cosmetic move. If you go with a more modern design, you can really elevate the space or, with some mirror choices, even make the room seem larger. Many of today’s mirrors offer LED backlighting, which can create a luxurious glow in the small space. To add extra storage, choose a mirror that has built-in shelves.

Walls and Paint Colors

With a little paint, some time, and a bit of elbow grease, you can transform this small space on your own, without a contractor. Create a new aesthetic with a splash of color, and consider painting the cabinet and even the ceiling: color drenching can remove visual breaks, making the small space feel taller and more cohesive. Neutral colors like beige or gray will result in a clean look, while light blue or green will give you a calming space.

Flooring or Backsplash

Your bathroom can go from drab to fab pretty quickly with updated flooring or backsplash. This is an arena that could get a little expensive, depending on your material selection and your level of comfort with doing the job on your own, but if you find budget-friendly tiles, it could be fairly affordable to create an eye-catching result. Just remember that, if you plan to put your place on the market, using a classic neutral color will appeal to the most buyers.

Custom Bathroom Window for Improvements

Although not all bathrooms have windows, some do, and if yours is one of those, now’s your chance to be sure the window is correctly treated to match your new look and to get great light and privacy control. While there are plenty of good choices out there, you can’t go wrong with these:

For a cute finishing touch to an elegant bathroom, consider a café-style window treatment, which will give you privacy and natural light simultaneously.
For a classic, timeless look, consider Vignette® Modern Roman Shades by Hunter Douglas, which are available in a number of styles and fabric designs.
For something that is specifically designed to hold up to humidity and moisture, check out Hunter Douglas EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds. They are easy to operate, and they clean up with a quick dusting.
