NATIONAL DESIGN EDITOR GLEN PELOSO HAS SELECTED WHAT HE
LOVES FOR BATHROOMS!
An easy way to add
color to a bathroom is
by hanging artwork. I
suggest choosing pieces
that are on canvas or
ones without glass or
glazing as moisture
might stain the
artwork or matting.

Using a non-woven backed
wallpaper means that it will
peal off the walls with little or
no effort and your back to a
clean palate to work with.
UPDATE ON A BUDGET
Bathrooms are one of the most costly rooms to renovate and for that
reason, showing a home with an outdated bathroom may turn away
buyers who overestimate what it will cost to update the space.
If you're planning to put your home on the market, here are a few
cost-effective updates you can make that will have a huge impact without a
major expense. If your vanity is still in good shape but just looks a
little outdated, a fresh coat of paint can go a long way. Updating hardware
to a more modern style is also important. I like to use hardware with crystal
details as it always makes an impact. Replace dated light fixtures.
The new fixture does not need to be expensive but it should be stylish
and have a contemporary feel to it. If budget allows, consider
updating the faucet to something more modern and eye catching. A
fresh coat of paint on the walls is a must. For resale purposes, a light,
neutral color is your best choice. Make sure to style appropriately.
Use fresh, white linens, stunning artwork and an orchid to create a simple,
modern, spa-like feel to the bathroom and remove all other knick knacks
and personal items. - Tina Marie Singh, www.lionsgatedesign.ca
Love color in your bathroom?
Stick to soft blues. According

homes with bathrooms featuring
light shades of powder blue and
periwinkle sell for more!

With tile, you can create a colorful
effect on the floor, walls, and ceiling of
the entire space. You no longer need to
decide between wet areas and dry ones
to include color because tiles can be
used anywhere in the room.

Colored glass can be
a fantastic way to add
accent walls in the room.
Thick glass naturally has
a greenish-blue hue to it,
however it comes in any
color you like.
