Brighten up your bathroom in a weekend

A bathroom can be brightened up signifigantly by removing old hardware, painting the walls and installing new accessories. Select a group of accessories the go well together. Quality still needs to be considered even though these are minor upgrades.

Place towel racks where towels can hang about two-thirds of their full length. You probably will not be able to position the rack so the screws hit the studs, but you do want some strength. Use toggle bolts rather than plastic wall anchors which are not as strong.

One attractive type of soap dish installs right into a tiled wall. To do this, remove two tiles, apply adhesive, and then tape the dish in place until the adhesive sets. Finish the edges with caulk or grout.

To install a standard recessed toilet paper holder, drill test holes to make sire you will not run into the stud. Cut the hole carefully so you won’t have to patch the wall. Use construction adhesive and screws to secure the holder.

A secure handgrip is also handy for the elderly or disabled. You must locate the wall studs for this.

New hardware in the bathroom can be an inexpensive way to make your bathroom look brand new. It also can be an easy way to add value to your home.
