Eight-Step Function and Fashion Facelift for Bathroom


The winter months often mean holiday gatherings and guests ... and much more time indoors. The winter months often mean holiday gatherings and guests ... and much more time indoors. So, why not give your bathroom a much needed function facelift this holiday season. Luckily, minor updates that are easy, quick and inexpensive can make a major impact. Handyman Matters has put together the following tips for all the bathrooms in your home - need help? Contact Handyman Matters and their experienced craftsmen can take care of your entire to do list.

1. One of the easiest and most affordable ways to make over a bathroom is to update with new accessories. With a wide variety of designs and finishes - from traditional to modern - accessories such as towel bars, towel rings, robe hooks, towel bar hooks and shelves help get you more organized, while making a dramatic style statement. And don't stop in the bath, towel bars, and robe hooks are ideal kitchen additions to keep pot holders and towels close at hand. Handyman Matters can install all of these accessories for you in just one call.



2. Next, install new bathroom faucets. With nearly limitless finish, style and function options available, the simple change of a faucet can transform a room in only minutes. There are many finishes you can choose from, but keeping them consistent with the other accessories will really bring your bathroom up to times.


3. It's one of life's constants: Toilet paper always runs out. But changing the roll doesn't have to involve a spring-loaded bar flying across the room. Depending on your decorating tastes, choose from an innovative pivoting paper holder that features a bar you simply lift up to replace the roll or a European-styled design that features an open end for easy roll replacement. Either way, it'll encourage everyone to lend a hand and change the roll.


4. Add style and space in the shower in minutes with a Curved Shower Rod.Originally seen only in upscale hotels, this unique product adds up to seven more inches of elbow room in the shower. Plus, new S-shaped Shower Rod Hooks snap right onto this modern shower rod, offering convenient access to hang a variety of items - from towels and robes, to loofahs and shaving kits. Updating your bathroom can seem like a daunting task with a lot of details that need to be changed, but Handyman Matters can take care of all of your bathroom needs.


5. When it comes to decking the walls in the bath, there's no need for expensive art. Try adding your personal touch with framed photos of family or friends to share experiences or keep memories alive.


6. Looking for storage? Need a place to keep your Merlot or champagne? Wine racks are the perfect answer. But they can even be functional in the bath. One idea that we love to see is when a wine rack is hung and filled with rolled hand towels and washcloths - make sure you get it in a finish that matches the rest of your bathroom accessories.


7. Turn a boring, plain bathroom mirror into a work of art by adding mirror frames.Mirror frames transform plate-glass mirrors into style statements in a matter of minutes. Available in a variety of styles, these easy-to-install frames create a beautifully coordinated, custom-designed look.


8. While style is always a concern, bathroom safety should be, too. In the bath, add grab bars or hand grips before any guests arrive at your home. This is a nice way to let your loved ones know that you not only care about the style of your bathroom, but you care about the function and safety of the bathroom as well.

Updating your bathroom with simple accessories and safety items is one of the easiest ways to get your home ready for guests this holiday season.
