Here are 8 ways to help get you closer to your perfect bathroom!

1. Don’t have the time or patience to paint? By simply updating the towels in the bathroom, you get an instant face-lift. Use towels that compliment the color scheme of your bathroom now to give it a fresher look. These towels caught my eye via Target

  1. Nice! So wish I could paint the walls in our rental bathroom. Where we live, the bathroom walls are always tiled, floor to ceiling. I’ve found that a coordinating print or colored contact paper, cut to size, will cover the ugly accent tiles and improve the over-all appearance. Plus, it removes w/o damaging anything = perfect for rental contracts! 🙂
