We are, in many ways, in the middle of a great waiting game. The future is neither bright nor bleak, neither hopeful nor hopeless. The turmoil of today means we don't know where tomorrow will lead us. This is true in the grandest sense all the way down to the most basic parts of our day to day lives. While many of us would like to embark on dramatic home changes and redesigns, our personal budgets and overall economic uncertainty are keeping us from making the leap. However, there are many ways we can change the look of our homes while still keeping to a budget.

The best room to start in is without a doubt the bathroom. This part of your house is relatively limited in its function, but still offers plenty of opportunities to change the room without an expensive redesign. The first step may be in reevaluating the walls and the general use of colors.

While you may not be able to change the larger fixtures in the room, you may be able to change the colours of the walls to match and accentuate the colours of the bath, sink, and toilet. Beyond the walls, the floor itself can be changed dramatically, usually through ...
... the use of tiling or linoleum. However, these may both be too time consuming or expensive, depending on your situation. Fortunately, there are a number of smaller changes that can greatly change the room. If your bathroom currently lacks storage, or the storage it has is insufficient for your needs, an upgrade may be in order. Storage units offer a great combination of form and function without adding too much to your budget. A new storage unit can even affect how people view the overall size of the bathroom and how that space is distributed.

The door and storage cabinet fixtures of your bathroom could be easily switched out in order to give the room a small but still dramatic change. Since the door handle is the part of the bathroom people first interact with it, a change in this area can set the tone for the room. By changing other fixtures, such as the sink handles and fixtures, you can create a whole new style for the room.
