The 3 simple ways to scale up your bathroom on the cheap – and it’s all about making a simple but really easy change
AN INTERIOR designer has revealed three super simple changes you can make in your bathroom that will instantly make it look and feel more luxe.
Brie Turton suggested using luxe-looking trays to organise all your beauty products and cover ugly countertops.
The home design pro also stressed the importance of picking a signature scent to level up your space.
And her tips work if you’re renting too, as all are non-permanent, low-budget fixes that can be made in a matter of minutes.
She said: “I’m an interior designer and here are three tips to decorate your ugly rental bathroom.
“Number one, trays on countertops.
“This works really well for two reasons.
“First reason is you can compile all of your product, keep it in one spot, which makes the space feel more tidy.
“But also, we’re introducing a new hard material, such as a marble if you want to go for something more luxe.
“This is a great way to add a new material to the space, because obviously when you rent,
you have no say over the materials and finishes in the bathroom.
“So my top tip would be grab some gorgeous marble trays and cover your ugly countertop with them.”
Next up – don’t forget how important scent is.
Brie continued: “Number two, fragrance.
“This is so important and so overlooked in interior design.
“Get a fragrance for the bathroom that means something to you or transports you to a place or it makes you feel happy.
“For me, it might be a fragrance I was wearing when I was on holidays. I would get the room spray version of that and put it in my bathroom.
“And number three is matching bottles.
“So hand soap and hand cream, shampoo and conditioner.
“I don’t mind if you buy these once and then decant product into them.
“This is going to make the space feel a lot more put together.
“And as well, it’s going to give you control over a new colour palette.
“For example, if you want to add some green, there’s no reason you can’t get all green bottles, and all of a sudden you’ve manipulated the color palette in your rental.”
