How to Fix Rental Bathrooms?

If you live in a rental home and you don’t know how to fix the bathroom or how to make it presentable, following are few tips that can help you to make the small changes and make the space livable for you.
Rental homes may have a bathroom which is not presentable or has the hardware that you dislike; however, if you know how to make it work by introducing the much-needed changes, the complete look can be changed.


Themed Bathrooms
If you are not a fan of themed bathrooms, but you are in a rental house which has themed spaces, it means that you will have to cover the theme with an alternative. For example, if you don’t like blue tiled bathroom, you may hide it with painted floor cloth.

Less is more
Some of the renovators have the tendency to go overboard in terms of making changes or adding new elements into the bathroom space, which may contribute to making the overall space cluttered. If you have a bathroom in the rental house that may resemble the above-mentioned case, it is time for you to make changes by getting rid of the additional elements. For example, the lighting shades can be changed to add simple bulbs. Likewise, the curtain can be replaced with a glass separator to create a cleaner look.

Smart Changes
As it has been said earlier, the changes in the bathroom can be very small; however, if they are done cogently, it can make a huge difference in terms of changing the complete outlook. For example, if you don’t like the number of pipes under the sink of the bathroom, it can be concealed if you put few of the plant pots into that area. It would add greenery and serve as the cover for the less pleasing parts of the space. Similarly, if the toilet is white in color, it can be replaced or mixed with some color. For instance, if you add black color for the cover of the toilet seat, it could help to create a black and white theme.


If you don’t have the time to maintain the walls of the bathroom space in terms of upgrading the wall paint or safeguarding the walls from moisture, opting for faux walls can solve your problem to a large extent. Moreover, the tiles can be replaced with the panel on one of the walls, if your budget is limited and you want to save the money, as the house is rental.

Significance of Time
If you really dislike the rental bathroom, chances are you will tend to spend more on the renovation, which would ultimately consume your time more than the required. Therefore, it is important to make changes which will save your time and energy in terms of modifying the weak areas or décor of the bathroom space. For instance, if you make a list of things that you want to add or replace in the space can help to complete all the tasks one by one. In addition, following the list will also give you ample time to assess if the change in the bathroom is the requirement or it’s just your extravagant tendency speaking.

Cleanliness
People usually underestimate the role of neatness in things in general, however, it has been noticed that if you give importance and spend time on maintaining the hygiene of any place, it will most likely appear nice in appearance as well. In other words, if you can’t afford to bring or add accessories for the rental bathroom, but if you have time and a small amount of money to keep it maintained and tidy, the look of the space can be improved many times.

Help from a Professional
Although this option may sound a little expensive to you than the options mentioned above, however, if you are on good terms with a professional in the field, it could make your job easy by providing you insights and easy tips. For example, if you know or are friends with an interior designer, he/she might pinpoint significant areas of the space that will transform the appearance without having to spend money on getting new things for the space.



Functionality
If you don’t know how to categorize what type of things in the bathroom space are useful and what are installed in the space for the mere purpose of decoration, you could take help from an outsider or a friend who would be able to help you to with sorting this out. Once you have figured out the functional and non-functional parts of the space, half of your job will be done. And the other half of the job means that you will have to take out that non-functional stuff to create space and add simplicity to the bathroom space.

Plumbing
If the rental bathroom is already well decorated, chances are the plumbing or pipelines will need some kind of fixing, especially if the rental house is in an area where the moisture is a big part of the environment, as the moisture aggravates the worn off paint and pipeline issues in the bathroom. This means that if you get a good plumber and get any kind of leakage issues fixed or plumbing problems sorted, the presentation of the bathroom space will get enhanced. Moreover, the door knobs or other hardware can be replaced with simple or better materials to complement your fixtures in the bathroom space.



Storage Space
If the storage space is cluttered, de-cluttering it will immediately help to make the bathroom space seem spacious. Moreover, vanity mirrors can also contribute to increasing the spaciousness of the area. If you are not short on money, you can spend money on getting new and simple shelves or cabinets, if that is what you like to make the space seem new. The main point is to remember that cabinets and shelves are supposed to increase the storage area of the space rather than any other purpose.
