8. Update Lighting
Whether you need to get rid of the builder grade vanity lights or you need to swap out the dome light that hasn’t worked in years, you’ll be in awe of how much lighting can transform your space. Upgrade fixtures with more modern touches and use brighter LED bulbs to brighten up the space, creating a bigger feel. If you’re really fancy, why not add a chandelier?

Bonus tip
When your shower tiles start to look a bit worse for wear, hold off replacing them. In the short term, you can give them a new lease of life with tile paint and/or peel-and-stick tiles. When you reach this point, start thinking about what you want to do when they do need to be replaced. You can replace them with new tiles but bathroom wall shower panels may be a better option.
There are two main reasons for thinking about swapping your shower tiles for bathroom wall shower panels. Firstly, they’re much more affordable. Secondly, they’re much easier to clean. As a bonus, the fact that they’re reflective can help to make the most of the available light. This can do a lot to make a small bathroom look much bigger.
