The bathroom is a massive part of an apartment, and if you hate your bathroom, it can affect how you feel about the rest of your apartment. However, there are ways to adapt your bathroom to be a space that you genuinely love. There are so many minor fixes that you can use that will quickly make your bathroom one of your favorite rooms in your apartment for the new year.
Making a bathroom cozy
- Warm colours
- Soft light
- Lush furnishing
Warm colours
The first way to help make your apartment bathroom cozier is to opt for warm colors when painting. Warm browns, soft yellow, and even deep reds, if you want a very sultry look, can all help to warm up bathroom space and make it cozier. Adding things like wood accents, candles, or even soft lights is a great way to make a room seem cozier and warmer than it might otherwise. You can add plush mats and soft towels to help make for a warmer and cozier overall feel as well.
Soft light
The next thing you can do to help add a warmer feel to your bathroom is to use soft light. Though you can use brighter lights for overhead fixtures, adding things like small accent lamps, candles or even LED candles can help to add a soft ambiance without overpowering anything and without ruining the functionality of your bathroom.
Lush furnishing
Flameless LED candles are a great way to help make a room feel cozier without worrying about open flames. Soft and plush rugs can also make a bathroom feel cozier and can help to make a room seem so much warmer than if you use a thinner mat or if you do not use a mat. You can also add fluffy towels to the bathroom shelves to help make the room feel cozier and warmer overall.

How to brighten an apartment bathroom
The overall ambiance of any bathroom should be warm and inviting because this is one place where we get some private time. These are the things you should add up to brighten your apartment bathroom:
Updated lighting
The first thing that you can do to help brighten a bathroom is to focus on updating lighting and updating the type of bulb that you have in them. If you have an apartment with older lighting or older fixtures, you will likely want some great new lighting. So many great modern light fixtures are an open light fixture concept which means that they will put off more light as they are not closed off and do not have a globe that fully encases the bulb. You can also switch to LED bulbs that put off more light.
Extra lighting around the mirror
Another great option to help add more lighting without having to do a ton of work and a ton of extra effort is to add LED lights around the mirror or in places around the bathroom. You can get some great strip lights that are easy to install, that are water-resistant and that also are easy to control, and are inexpensive. These are fantastic if you want to add some extra light around the mirrors or the windows or just around the room.
Bright colours
The last thing you can opt for is to get bright colors. Bright colors help open up a room and make it feel larger and more open. Try for light neutral gray, bright white, or even a soft blue for a very relaxed and airy feel that will help get rid of those shadows that might be making your bathroom seem dark and depressing.
