Bathroom Quick Fix 1: Clean Tiles and Re-Grout. There's nothing more awful than tiles and grout that look like they've seen better days. If you're not in the market for new tiles, best to clean and re-grout the ones you have for a sensational look and style in your home's bathroom. There are some affordable grouts and grout removal tools at Home Depot, Lowes or your local hardware store. Or, hire a handyman to do the job.

Bathroom Quick Fix 2: Change the Rugs. Your bathroom rugs take a beating. Change the rugs at least once a year for a custom, high style look for your home's bathroom. Are you addicted to white, tan or muted colors? Try bold and bright colored rugs for a brand new look for your home's bathroom.

When you replace items like the tissue holder, towel bar, robe hooks, shelves, mirrors, soap dishes, hardware, and more, you can transform your bathroom from dull to delightfully elegant overnight. And, it won't break the bank. Check out Restoration Hardware and Bed, Bath and Beyond, or shop online for deals and discounts on great bathroom hardware and accessories.
