Creating a Tropical Bathroom on a Budget
Tired of that same old boring bathroom? You
want a change, something Tropical, but you just don't have the money
to pull off some of the looks that the magazines show right? Wrong!
Here are some tips to help you create a tropical paradise in your
bathroom without breaking the bank:
Make a game plan of what you would like to do to your bathroom.
While it doesn't have to be elaborate blue prints, just a small list
of what you would like to do and the end result you want to create
will be enough to keep you on track while out looking for items.
This will also help you to stay within a budget and not overspend on
things that you didn't plan on.
Hit local dollar stores. You might have to hit a couple before you
find anything that you like or can use, but you can usually find the
basics here like: toothbrush holders, cups, soaps, towels, rugs,
etc. Some might even carry strands of ivy or palm that you can buy
really cheap to help decorate your bathroom with.
Hit local fabric shops or stores that carry bolts of fabric. If you
like the look of the sheer, white, material strung above a bath or
shower like a canopy of bug netting, this is the place to get it.
You don't need to shell out all those bucks for expensive material,
just pick out some very lightweight white or off-white material for
your canopy, but make sure that you get enough to cover the canopies
that you want to make.
Hit local discount stores. If the dollar stores just don't have what
you wanted, hit some local discount stores. While this will be
little more expensive than the dollar shops, it still won't cost you
as much as the department stores and specialty shops. You should be
able to find everything you need here.
Grab some foliage. If you have room in your bath for a small, fake
palm, grab one while you are at a local discount store. If you only
have room for smaller plants, you can either go with the fake ones,
or you can get a couple of real ones. Ivy plants work great in
bathrooms since they like the moisture in the air and they don't
require too much direct sunlight to grow wild.
There are several places where you can find information on fixing up
bathrooms on a budget. There are several periodicals and loads of
information online. The key is to plan exactly what you want and
comparison shop before making a purchase.
By following these few steps while shopping for tropical décor for
your bath, not only will you save money, but soon you will be
enjoying a tropical paradise in your own home. Just remember to
stick to what you want to do and not deviate too much from your game
plan or you can go overboard really quickly. Happy shopping and
happy decorating!
