Freshen up with a new coat of paint
Nothing tops a fresh coat of paint when it comes to upgrading any room’s look. The very silver bullet for every ugly corner in an apartment, the idea is to use light hues to brighten it up. White, mint green, beige, or sky blue can transform a space and create an illusion of warmth and spaciousness.
Or, go paint-free
Some landlords don’t want messy painting done on their properties or simply want their rentals to stay as is. To get past that, you can try using peel-and-stick type tiles like the NuWallpaper NU2235. This moisture-resistant wall cover can also be used on a vanity, floors or any flat area. Simply remove when you want to upgrade to a new style next year.
Add a vanity
Well, not just any vanity for this matter, but a floating one like the VIZCAYA PREMIERE Tranquillo 30. Create a chic contemporary look with this floating vanity with an added cabinet as storage. It’s also complemented with an LED light strip. When you move to a new apartment, bring it with you. Cool! Apartment bathroom decorating ideas using a vanity, can really jazz the place up.
Create a snazzy wall
If you have a talent for creating murals, do so by creating an accent wall in your bathroom. There is so much that can be done on a bare wall to make it complement the entire theme. Or simply place a stretched, framed, ready to hang art work from Niwo Art TM to draw the eye onto the area and divert attention from the cramped dreary-looking floors or sidelines.
Spruce up with air plants
Ditch placing deodorizers or charcoal in the bathroom. Instead, breathe new life into the space by adding air plants. You can choose to bring in potted leafy ones or hang tillandsias in majestic glass terrariums or glass planters, like this set below from Mkono. Adding air plants will not only brighten the room, it also improves indoor air quality.
Custom fit new floors

You can use this also on cabinets, vanity, wall, shelves, and so on to create a unified look. Improve the look with bathroom pictures you can hang on the wall.
Modernize fixtures
