If you want to put your own spin on the apartment you’re renting, you’ll have to get a little bit creative since you can’t make any substantial changes. Here are a few simple things you can try to upgrade your bathroom, and make sure it reflects your personal style.
Purchase Fresh New Linens
Swapping out your shower curtain, switching up your bath mat, and replacing your old towels are three easy ways to instantly boost your bathroom space without actually altering your apartment. Choose colorful options to brighten up the space or neutral linens if you want to create a relaxing environment. Consider color coordinating all of your linens to make the room feel like one cohesive space. For example, if your bath mat is blue, opt for a shower curtain that has at least some pops of that same shade.
Use Decorative Storage Solutions
You can make your bathroom feel more sophisticated — and organized, of course — by choosing storage solutions that can also act as décor. Instead of keeping spare towels in the back of your closet, roll them up in a woven basket on the floor. This way, they’ll be easy to access and aesthetically pleasing. You can also turn your bathroom toiletries into art. Try mounting a couple of shelves to display pretty perfume bottles, jars full of cotton balls and q-tips, and fancy hand soaps.
Keep It Smelling Fresh
Make sure your bathroom smells fresh in between cleaning sessions by keeping scented candles, a diffuser, or even a vase full of fresh flowers in your bathroom. Stick with your favorite scent year round, or switch it up based on the season, like cinnamon or pumpkin spic for fall and peppermint for the holidays. For a spa-like vibe, opt for lavender or hang a fresh eucalyptus plant in your shower. No matter what you choose, scents are a simple way to elevate any space without upsetting your landlord.
