DSI designed this master bath for the Washington Post

Need to spruce up your bathroom?  These quick and easy ideas will turn a “blah” bath into a guest-ready space in no time.

1.)  Get a bold shower curtain.  A colorful shower curtain will addd as splash to a neutral bathroom.  Add a few accessories that coordinate with the parttern in the curtain, and the room will feel instantly transformed.

2) Display the towels.  Instead of simply hanging towels on the traditional wall rack, display yours in unique ways.  Roll a few towels and place them on an open shelf or in a basket.  Stack folded towels on a decorative chair.  Present them on a silver platter.  Your towels will become part of the artwork in the room.

3) Replace the mirror.  You don’t need to stick with the flat “builder’s” mirror.  Choose a decorative mirror with a frame suitable to your bathroom’s style.  There are so many shapes, sizes, and styles to choose from, so don’t limit yourself.

4) Update the hardware.  A bathroom can take on an entirely new look when you simply change your cabinet knobs.  You can gold bold and colorful to make a statement, or choose elegant shapes and finishes to coordinate with the existing fixtures in the room.

5) Bring in flowers.  A vase of fresh flowers is the perfect bathroom accessory.  Cut fresh blooms from the garden, or purchase a nice bouqet when guests are coming over. This will not only add a splash of color and a lovely scent, but will evoke a cheeful mood.

Although these ideas are simple, they make a big impact.  So take time to update your bathroom.  If you need more than an update call DSI today at 301-317-7855 or e-mail: interiors@designschemeinteriors.com to set up an initial consultation!
