We’re always on the lookout for easy, budget-friendly DIY projects for your bathroom.
And we’re not talking about your walls. There are all kinds of paints specifically designed for use with the sorts of tile and metal that you’ll find in your bathroom. A fresh coat of paint could be just the thing to give your bathroom a fresh-looking upgrade without any major renovations or installations.
Here are five bathroom fixtures you can easily revamp with paint:
1.) A Grimy Bathtub
Is your bathtub starting to look a little dingy? If its surface is porcelain, ceramic, or fiberglass, you can give it a sparkling new look with a tub and tile refinishing kit, like this one from RUST-OLEUM. After you bleach and scour the tub, simply apply the specialty paint in as many coats as it takes to get the fresh-looking finish you’re after.
2.) The Walls and Tile Around The Bathtub
Done with the tub? Hold on to your extra paint! That same tile refinishing paint is perfect for giving the tiles above and around your bath or shower a clean, white look.
3.) Your Countertops
Have a counter that looks more out-of-date than retro? Is there an unpleasant stain or scratch mark on your countertop? You can give them a fresh look with a paint job! RUST-OLEUM produces countertop transformation kits in chic colors ranging from espresso to stone. For a more complete step-by-step guide on how to paint your counters the right way, check out this handy blog post from DIY Showoff.
4.) Cabinets
If you’re looking for a total makeover for your bathroom, you can always use wood stain or other paints to re-do your cabinets at the same time as your countertops. Maybe chic black or white, or a rich wooden color?
5.) Your Faucet
Brass faucets were all the rage once, but they tend to look a little dated in bathrooms today. If you don’t want to go through the process of replacing your faucet by yourself, a paint job is a quick, relatively easy way to bring your spout into the twenty-first century. You can remove your faucet if you’re looking to use spray paint, or simply use painter’s tape and a brush to avoid the hassle and leave it in.
