Decorate Small Bathrooms In A Rented Home

Small bathrooms require ingenuity when it comes to decorating.


Small bathrooms can provide a decorating challenge as options are limited by the small space. Decorating a small bathroom can be even more complicated in a rented home since you won't likely be permitted to make any permanent changes or leave holes behind in walls. The trick to decorating these bathrooms is to provide everything you need for the room to be functional in a temporary fashion.


Instructions








1. Install an over-the-toilet storage cabinet or rack, which has a design that allows it to sit on the floor and over the top of the toilet, providing either an enclosed storage area or racks for items such as towels and extra toilet paper.


2. Add removable stickers to painted, wallpapered or tiled walls to change the appearance of the walls without making permanent changes to the bathroom.


3. Replace showerheads, towel racks and mirrors you don't like with fixtures you do. Use the same holes in the walls for towel racks and mirrors, so that you don't create new holes in the walls, and store the original fixtures someplace safe to reinstall them when you leave the rented home.


4. Use over-the-door towel racks if you need more towel space and to prevent additional holes in the walls. Get a hand-towel rack that sits on the edge of the sink.








5. Hang a decorative shower curtain in a sterile bathroom to brighten the room and place your own soap dish and toothbrush holder on the counter and rugs on the floor. Store any accessories that you remove from the bathroom to replace when you leave the property.
