Small Updates Make Big Impressions

Interior Design image(NewsUSA) - The holidays are fast approaching, which means many are expecting family and friends to make plans for a visit. In fact, according to a recent survey, 78 percent of U.S. homeowners said they are expecting overnight guests during the hectic holiday months.

The last thing a homeowner wants when entertaining is to be remembered for an untidy or outdated bathroom. To update the look of one of the most frequented rooms in the home, Pegasus offers a range of helpful ideas.

If all you need is a quick fix, incorporate one or more of these upgrade tips:

* Accessorize towels and furnishings - use matching colors or shades to create a uniform look.

* Add a fresh bead of caulk to the sink and shower to eliminate signs of mold or mildew.

* Swap the old shower liner for something clean. Guests will feel like they're the first to use the shower.

* Decorate with scented candles or tart burners. Make sure any lingering scent is a pleasant one.

* Scrub one last time. A polish to the bath will ensure that guests have a warm welcome.

If you have additional time and want to add a little more, these cost-effective changes will bring your bathroom to a whole new level:

* Splash a fresh coat of paint on the walls. An updated coat of paint will give the bath new life and will give the entire room a more current look.

* Add complimentary lighting. Light fixtures with a softer, more natural glow won't wash out a guest's appearance.

* Replace your outdated sink faucet. A new faucet, such as the Pegasus Series 2000 Two-Handle Lavatory, will make your sink sparkle like new.

* Coordinate hardware. Use the same material finish for towel and paper holders, tissue cases and robe hooks.

* Replace your old, low-pressure showerhead with a stylish and water-efficient model.
