When you begin to host people in your home, one of the areas you may not consider renovating is your bathroom. However, your bathroom is an important room to consider for people’s positive impressions of your home. Read on to learn what people see first when they walk into your bathroom.
The Shower
One of the first things people see when they walk into your bathroom is the shower. Depending on the size and build of your bathroom, your shower could take up the majority of the space in the room, thus drawing the eye immediately. This means that if your shower is outdated, grimy, moldy, and more, this will leave people with a negative first impression of your bathroom. Instead of continuing on with these issues, take some quick and easy steps to update your shower. First, replace your shower head with a nicer, newer model. Rain shower heads are beautiful, and a popular option for many homeowners. Next, refinish your shower to freshen up the color of the fiberglass. These relatively small projects will transform your shower.
The Vanity
The next thing people usually see when entering your bathroom is the vanity. Depending on when your home was built, the vanities in your bathroom may be older and uglier than you’d like them to be. These factors can leave your bathroom feeling old and musty. However, once again, it is fairly simple and inexpensive to transform your vanity. Replacing your mirror can give your bathroom a whole new look. Similarly, you can repaint your vanity and install some inexpensive contact paper on the counter to give your vanity a more modern, updated look on a budget. If you can afford it, you can also replace the entire vanity with a more modern version.
The Mess
Unfortunately, another one of the first things people usually notice in your bathroom is the mess. Bathrooms are the room in your home that can easily be the most unpleasant. Between the mess and the smell, there are many ways to make your bathroom an unpleasant place to be. Bathrooms tend to accumulate dirty laundry, trash, messy countertops, and more. Organizing your bathroom can allow the room to always remain clean, and smell much nicer. Keeping your bathroom organized and clean allows people to have a more positive impression of your bathroom.
One of the fastest ways for people to receive a negative impression of your home is if you have a messy, outdated bathroom. Cleaning and updating your bathroom allow people to have a more positive first impression, and makes the space more comfortable for you as well. Be sure to keep these factors in mind when designing and decorating your bathroom.
