1. Smarten up the walls

Painting walls is one of the simplest bathroom decorating ideas I have: it's quick to do, and makes a huge change. It's the first task you should consider. Find painting boring? Get a friend to come along and help. The two of you will finish a bathroom in a couple of hours. You'll have a good laugh together, and you're friend won't charge for his or her time! Paint the walls lighter to make your bathroom bigger. Pastel colors work best. Light blue or green creates a relaxing tranquil feel.
2. Add another mirror
Mirrors make rooms suddenly seem twice the size. It brightens up the space and increases the light in your bathroom. Have one mirror above your sink, and another on the wall directly opposite it for best effect.
3. Replace the fixings
Change all the temporary fixings in your bathroom: the toilet roll holder, shelves, handles, towel rails, rugs, door knobs, hooks or hangers, shower curtains, and so on. They're only small items so don't cost a lot to replace. It's simple to do too -- there will only be a couple of screws holding each one to the wall. Go for glass shelves and silver fittings for a modern look, or wooden items if you prefer something a little more traditional. Make sure everything matches!
4. Buy new towels
This is one of my simplest bathroom decorating ideas, but certainly an effective one. Throw out all your old towels and replace them today. Buy the biggest towels you can afford, and make sure you get a complete matching set. This small trick really makes a difference to how your bathroom looks. Try it and see!
5. Re-grouting
The first part of any bathroom to get damaged is the protective seal between the edge of your bath/shower and the wall. It cracks and breaks and looks horrendous. But it's a simple fix. Scrape away the old grouting and vacuum all the dust away. If you're re-grouting your bath, run it full of water so it has a load of weight inside it -- this will prevent the bath from moving once the new grout has dried. Apply new grout from a tube available from any DIY store. Don't over do it. Leave for 48 hours and it's done.
These five bathroom decorating ideas are simple to do, cost next to nothing, and will transform your bathroom.
