For so many people the bathroom is the haven in their home, the one room where they can escape from the chaos of family life and take some well earned "me" time away from everyone else but for others the bathroom is just another room that is purely there to serve a purpose.
Either way there is no reason at all why your bathroom should not have a little bit of love and attention spent on it every now and again.
To spruce your bathroom up you do not need to spend a fortune.
Something as simple as changing the taps can make a big difference to the look of the room.
But when is the right time to change your bathroom taps? One of the biggest problems with bathroom taps is that if they are not looked after properly they can soon start to look jaded which can affect the look of your whole bathroom.
If you live in an area that has a water supply that carries a lot of lime scale this process may be sped up considerably.
Another problem that we have all had to endure at some time or another is the annoying drip, drip, drip of a tap late at night.
More often than not this problem can be rectified by simply changing the washer in the tap but if it has got to the point where it is dripping it may be an indication that your taps have seen better days.
So if you need a sign that your taps are looking old and think your bathroom could do with a little bit of a makeover bear the above points in mind.
Is your bathroom tired? Is it starting to look a bit sorry for itself and starting to look a little sad? Do you dread going into the bathroom at night so much that you've started bathing in the morning when you are only half awake? If this sounds like you and your bathroom maybe it's time that you started to spread a little bit of love the way of your bathroom and liven up a little.
There are some really simple things that you can do to really improve the look of your bathroom.
If you have tiles on the walls of your bathroom you may want to consider stripping out the old grout and replacing it with a new anti-bacterial grout that will stay white and fresh for many years.
The same goes for the silicone sealant around the bath, sink and toilet.
It is also possible to get an anti-bacterial silicone that stays white for a very long time and is guaranteed not to go all black and horrible when attacked by mould.
If you want to brighten up the tiles on the wall it is now possible to buy a paint that will adhere to the surface of the tile making it possible to change the colour of the tile without the hassle of having to remove the tiles from the wall.
Adding a bathroom cabinet or changing the accessories in the bathroom, such as toilet roll holder, toothbrush holder, floor mats or wall mirrors can all have a huge impact on the look of your bathroom.
The benefit with changing these accessories to improve the look of the bathroom is that none of them are really expensive.
So there you have it, some really simple ways to help you improve the look of your bathroom.
