We’re always looking for ways to improve the home, as it’s best to have our property looking as great as it possibly can be.
So when you come to conducting your next home improvement, how about looking at the bathroom or shower roof?.
This is a fantastic room to consider as the bathroom is one of the focal points of any home or prefab homes.
And the good news is, the improvements we recommend below aren’t tricky to implement and won’t break the bank either.
Increase the water pressure.
Are you used to an under-parr shower? If so, then why? We’re not talking about the hygienic issues of your shower, but actually the shower strength itself. You may need to change the whole showerhead, which isn’t particularly expensive, but we have one tip that can help you increase the pressure.
Soak the showerhead overnight in a mixture of vinegar, baking powder, and water. In a minimum of four hours, the acidic properties will get to the limescale and break it down.
Choose an energy-efficient showerhead.
Nowadays, it’s all about being green and environmentally friendly, and this doesn’t end when it comes to the bathroom. A water-efficient showerhead will limit the amount of water that’s used, without you actually feeling any difference whatsoever. Clever ah? Want to know if you should invest in an energy-saving showerhead? Simply place a 2L bucket when you shower, and if it’s full within just 12 seconds, there are savings to be made.
Bring in a plant
You might think it a little strange to have plants in the bathroom, but actually, it’s quite common in many households. Not only can plants brighten up the room, but they also clean the air around you. If you’re looking for some perfect plants to do this for your bathroom, take a look at the Mother-in-Law’s Tongue and Golden Pothos. And don’t worry because they’re not affected by steam.
Show your creative side
Ok, so your shower is sorted and you’re running more efficiently; now it’s time to take a look at your bathroom’s décor. There’s a whole world out there, colors and styles, so you can really get down to what you love. Something we’ll always recommend is painting the ceiling a lighter color than the walls; this tends to lift the room and give it an airier feel.
Final Touch
A few thoughtful changes can transform your bathroom into a more stylish, efficient, and comfortable space.
From boosting water pressure to adding greenery and creative décor, small upgrades can make a big impact — without a huge budget.
