Renew or die, that is the question. Although the most common thing is that we associate statements of this type with the character or style of people, we must never forget that they can also refer to other factors such as the decoration and maintenance of our home, where any optimization or detail is an occasion for give it a fresher and more pleasing touch for the eye.
Despite the fact that many times we think that to notice changes we must embark on eternal reforms that cost a lot and entangle even more, there are details that can give us a face lift in smaller rooms and those that we take little advantage of, such as the bathroom. It is a matter of knowing how to take better advantage of the spaces that we already have.
From The Buyer of La Vanguardia we bring you a small selection of 10 ideas to improve the bathroom and give it a much more modern and stylish touch for less than €100.
In addition to being one of the first things we normally see when entering a bathroom, mirrors create a visual effect capable of enlarging the space we have.
Since everyone has a mirror at home for purely routine reasons like looking at ourselves in the morning, we can resort to more modern and different options like this round model with LED lights with a blurred effect. By having the halo of light in the rear space, it will give a greater sense of volume and offer smooth and clean lines.
buy on amazon for €89.95If what we are looking for is a different format that is not going to serve as the main mirror, we can also play with other shapes. With a model like this, divided into 24 smaller pieces in the shape of a hexagon, we can place it with the distribution that we like the most, we will give an original touch and make the room seem larger.
buy on amazon for €15.99In addition to the usual furniture that we usually have under the sink, we can add other accessories to make better use of the bathroom and get storage space.
A good idea for this is suspended columns like this one in Nordik brown (also in Alaskan Oak, if we prefer), to match other available furniture from the same line, which allow us to take advantage of corners and combine everything with the same style. .

Open furniture like these others, made of bamboo, allows us to obtain exactly the same storage space with the difference that visually they cut less space and the room seems larger.
We can choose both a tall format with four column-type compartments and a lower format as an auxiliary unit or magazine rack with two compartments.
buy (high) at leroy merlín for €73.99BUY (low) AT LEROY MERLIN FOR €47.99For those smaller bathrooms in which we are going to need a narrow common structure in which to integrate storage space for toilet paper rolls, shampoo or deodorant bottles and a toilet roll holder, we can choose a model like this one in white.
buy on amazon for €37.69Another element that can give a lot of life to any room and that will fill with color to break the monotony of the bathroom are artificial plants. Although these tend to generate reluctance for many people, there are options and models that we would never say are false or that are so aesthetic that they can make us forget that detail.
A good elegant option is, for example, this set of three artificial plants of different types with a rounded flowerpot that imitates stone and that will look very sober and result with light tones.
buy on amazon for €17.99If we prefer that they be smaller plants but that break with the monotony of a simpler piece of furniture, we can choose small but full of life options like these artificial succulents, which come in containers in different shades of gray and with motifs.
buy on amazon for €23.99To give a very simple bathroom sparkle and decorate without having to incorporate too many elements, we can also use adhesives or wallpaper. With them, we will achieve an aesthetic finish similar to that of the tiles but without suffering the headache of having to actually put them on.
Among the designs that we can choose from are those that imitate small tiles or slightly larger gussets. In any case, the smaller the motif, the larger the surface will appear to us.
buy on amazon for €13.99Although we can buy adhesive rolls for this function in order to cover large pieces of walls or furniture as in the model in salmon tones, we can also choose individual adhesives with which to form a border, for example, as in the model in shades of gray and land.
buy (gray) on amazon for €12.40buy (salmon) on amazon for €25.99Another way to incorporate patterns, a little more color and geometric lines that play with the size of the room are bathroom curtains.
Among the designs that we can choose from, tribal motifs, floral themes or other abstract ones such as colored polka dots stand out above all. The options in that regard are endless.
Buy on Amazon for €11.99Buy on Amazon for €24.77When we have showers or bathtubs with transparent screens that show us the interior at all times, it is very comfortable to also have shelves inside so that the boats look much more organized and, in addition, to be able to add some decorative touches. For this we can use from artificial plants, to colored bags or sponges.
buy (small) on amazon for €14.99buy (large) on amazon for €21.99With this type of product it is not always necessary to drill, we can also get shelves for the boats that can be hung from the partition. This one, for example, has hangers for towels and sponges and holes in each tray to correctly drain the water that may fall when showering.
buy on amazon for €59.90Nothing is worse than having dirty clothes on the floor and leaving them near the washing machine or just when you get out of the shower as if you had to walk out on your own. Therefore, an orderly and much more practical way to store all the clothes until we go to wash them is to have laundry baskets.
In family homes where the laundry load is quite high, it will be better for us to have two baskets to be able to separate directly between light or colored garments.
buy on amazon for €79.99A more rustic and easy-to-move option that is perfect for homes with fewer people and fewer clothes to wash are the popular wicker baskets, which we can choose either plain or in colors like this one.
buy at the English court for €24.95Once again, having prints in the bathroom can help us make it seem a little larger due to the visual effect created by some lines or geometric figures. The diagonal lines of this model, for example, give a more expansive image of the surface on which it extends.
buy (small) on amazon for €19.99buy (large) on amazon for €29.99Since the toilet paper roll must be close to the toilet and, therefore, be relatively visible, we can kill two birds with one stone and get roll holders that also have a space to place air fresheners, small bottles or any small plant or decoration. The styles are very varied.
buy (metallic) on amazon for €11.98buy (wood) on amazon for €19.99If, in the same way, we want the toilet paper rolls that we have in the bathroom not to remain as an unattractive element that bothers the eye, we can integrate them into the decoration with wooden structures to store them as interesting as this one.
buy on amazon for 62€Finally, since we always have items such as soap, toothbrushes or razors in sight on the bathroom marble, the space we have will look much more collected and larger if we organize it correctly in containers designed for that function. . If, in addition, these are aesthetic, we will have a two for one: order and a more cheerful touch that combines.
