Your bathroom says a lot about you. How clean you keep it, what kind of products you use, and how good it smells are signals to a guest about what kind of person you are (or aren’t). If your bathroom is looking a little dismal these days, but you don’t want to spend a fortune to make it look brand new, follow these tips for a rejuvenated freshness in your sanctum of cleanliness. 1. Cleaning products: should be bought on a regular basis and used weekly. These include a toilet bowl scrubber, bleach, lots of bleach, mildew remover, soap, and whatever else you may need. 2. Paint: if your walls are grungy, a splash of color could do you well. Choose a good bathroom color, like blue or dark green and throw on a couple of coats to make it look brand new. 3. Shower curtain: a funky shower curtain can go a long way. This really gives you a chance to get creative, but don’t get anything too cheesy. If you want something simple, get a clear curtain and a heavier, neutral colored fabric over it. 4. Furniture: Head to Ikea, where their streamlined designs have been pleasing people all over the world for decades. A small cabinet will help you keep all of your toiletries in order. Don’t forget the meatballs. 5. Trash can: look for one with a swinging door, to prevent people from seeing already disposed trash. 6. Tealight tray: having candles in the bathroom is romantic and relaxing. If you want to destress after a long day at work, or maybe set the mood with a lover, a tray for candles will help you reduce clutter and stay sexy. 7. Door Hook: hang up laundry to avoid messy floor piles, and use it to let towels dry. 8. New Towels: can be better for your skin, and will look nicer than the bleach stained towels you’ve had for years. You don’t have to throw away the old ones, just don’t display them for everyone to see. Two full size, two handcloths, and two facial cloth towels comprise a full set. 9. Full length mirror: is perfect for checking yourself out before you leave your pad. 10. Showerhead: Invest in one that’s removable so you can spray all those hard to reach areas. Different settings can relax your body with a massage pulse or make you feel like you’re in a rainforest if you use a light spray. 11. Body wash: a nice one without the heavy perfume of many body washes will make your shower, and you, smell better. 12. Knobs: If you want a full facelift for your bathroom, start thinking about some new knobs and handles around your sink. Then think about the 13. Faucet: Having a new faucet and sink is an investment, but it’s one that can go a long way to making your bathroom a place where you want to spend time.
