(NC)-Given how much time we spend in the bathroom, it’s no surprise that this space is considered one of the most important rooms to renovate. Rest assured, upgrading your bathroom does not need to be a long and expensive process. Consider the following five simple projects to enhance your bathroom’s look and functionality from the experts at The Home Depot Canada:

1. Renew reflection: Rethinking a bathroom’s mirror collection can help eliminate dark areas in large bathrooms and help make small bathrooms seem larger. Define the room’s environment by selecting a different shape or frame from the traditional large mirror above the sink. Add a full length mirror on the door or a small mirror on a side wall for extra convenience.

2. Brighten the bathroom: Changing a bathroom’s lighting is an easy project that can dramatically change the atmosphere. Choose lights that fit the bathroom’s style whether track lighting, vanity lights or wall-mounted lamps. Consider adding a dimmer for evenings when you need a relaxing soak in the tub.

3. Improve ventilation: A proper exhaust fan will cut through steam and reduce humidity that can cause mold and mildew over time. An exhaust fan’s capacity is usually rated in cubic feet per minute (cfm) with an average bathroom needing a 50 cfm capacity fan. Other considerations when buying an exhaust fan include noise level, energy efficiency and built-in lights.

4. Reduce water use: The bathroom accounts for about 65 per cent of all indoor water use so a simple water reduction project can have significant effects on your bills and the environment. Installing a low-flow toilet can cut toilet water use by as much as 50 per cent. A faucet aerator for the sink is inexpensive and reduces the flow of water by 25 per cent to 50 per cent, while providing the same water pressure. Complete the project by switching to a low-flow showerhead.

5. Accessorize: Make the bathroom more stylish by installing smartly selected bathroom accessories and fixtures. Besides the normal racks, towel rings, and soap dishes consider adding a magazine holder, shampoo and soap dispensers, a fun shower curtain or even a towel warmer.
