How to Give Your Bathroom Vanity a Makeover

With just a few minor updates you can completely redo your bathroom vanity to give the entire room a new look. Whether your vanity needs an update or you are just itching for a new look, these tips can help you make the change. If your bathroom update requires plumbing alterations, appliance repair or boiler repair on Long Island, contact us.

Update that Mirror

Don’t tear that boring bathroom mirror of your wall! Paint some molding or trim to match your bathroom and then use it to frame your mirror. This simple update makes your mirror more of a focal point and adds interest.

Add more Lighting

Older bathrooms tend to be lacking in lighting. Brighten up your bathroom vanity by adding lights above the vanity or near the mirror, or anywhere else that could use some extra light.

Dress up the Cabinets

If your cabinets could use some love, refinish or paint them to make them look like new. Consider adding trim or beadboard to give them a new look. For a quicker update, add new hardware to the cabinets and drawers.

Make Some Open Cabinets 

Open cabinets in the bathroom are perfect for storing towels, hygiene items or showing off some fun accessories. Create your own by removing the door from a cabinet and sprucing up the inside with paint.

Install a New Faucet 

To update your sink in just one afternoon, add a new faucet. Doing this can change the tone in your bathroom and can make the fixture match the style you are going for. 

Bring Organization to the Inside

Don’t forget to update the inside of your vanity too. Clean out cupboards and drawers and then use organizers, baskets, bins and hooks to regain control of the space. 

Updating your bathroom vanity is easy and can make a difference to your entire bathroom. You can find more tips for making over your vanity on the Pat Dolan Plumbing website.
