Despite the convenience, this will make your bathroom look like a high-end spa.

Bathrooms tend to look cold and sterile, so it is up to you to add a final touch. Decorating with a fluffy and cosy bath mat will bring a dose of warmth.

Unlike other bathroom improvements, this is a relatively cheap update that will make a huge difference. It will protect your feet when coming in touch with the cold tiles, taking your everyday shower experience on a higher level.

Excellent lighting

One of the essential aspects to consider for bathroom improvements is lighting. Lighting is a crucial element that sets the atmosphere and vibes, so don’t overlook it.

Floating shelves will be an excellent choice if you want to use those extra inches of vertical space. Besides, add a vanity large enough to accommodate your needs.
