Are you renting? Making your bathroom feel cozy and personal can be a challenge.

How can you transform an outdated bathroom into a relaxing space within the constraints of a rented home?

Here are eight easy-to-implement home styling tips .
At the end of the article, we've prepared a shopping list with everything you need to give your rented bathroom a new lease of life.
1. The magical power of color
One of the simplest and most immediate ways to renovate a rented bathroom is to repaint the walls or ceiling.
You will need to remember to restore the appearance of the room before returning the house.
If you are lucky enough to have sections of wall without coverings, take the opportunity to add a color to the room that you like and that harmonizes with the existing coverings .
You can also choose to paint the ceiling in a contrasting color. A modern solution that adds character and uniqueness to the space.
In this case, remember: dark colors on the ceiling visually lower the ceiling, but dilate it horizontally (they can be good for a long, narrow bathroom , if the ceiling is quite high), while light colors make the room appear higher.
Choose a shade that reflects your style and adds freshness and vitality to the bathroom .
Opt for a quality paint that is moisture-resistant and easy to clean, to ensure a long-lasting and easy-to-maintain result.
2. Bathroom accessories: a touch of modernity
For a quick but effective change of look, invest in modern and designer bathroom accessories .
It is precisely these details that make the difference in a well-kept bathroom.
Carefully select every detail: from the free-standing towel holder to the toilet brush , through the shower caddy and the coat hanger .
In the Hiro shop you will find many modern bathroom accessories , in surprising colors that add a touch of vivacity to the room.
Choose elements with a simple design that add a touch of modernity and personality without overwhelming the space. Opt for high-quality materials and innovative designs that add a touch of sophistication to your rented bathroom.
The simple, functional design and quality materials will allow you to take your accessories with you if you move house.
3. Mirrors of style
The mirror is a key element in any bathroom, and replacing the existing one with a more modern model can do wonders for the overall look of the room.
Opt for a mirror that integrates well with the other bathroom elements in terms of color and design.
You can opt for a minimal and modern mirror equipped with a practical shelf that lightens the room and adds a touch of contemporary style.
4. Mat: a detail that makes the difference
A bath mat is a small detail that can make a big difference to the overall look of a room.
If your bathroom is already rich in patterns and colors, choose a rug that matches the floor color for a harmonious look.
If, however, the environment is more uniform or neutral, dare with a colored rug that adds a touch of contrast and personality.
To be on the safe side, choose a soft and comfortable mat that is also durable and easy to clean .
5. Modern accessories: functionality with style
Any occasion is a good one to make the space more like you. In addition to accessories, bathroom fixtures are also valuable allies for restylings that don't involve structural work .
Not only do they help you bring color and modernity to the room, but they are also useful for order and organization, fundamental factors for a satisfying bathroom .
For a breath of fresh air, choose visually light column shelves or side tables , so as not to weigh down the aesthetics of the room.
Here too, quality is essential for a successful makeover.
6. Sensory experience: pamper your senses
Remember that, in addition to sight, there are 4 other senses that, if stimulated, help you "forget" the bathroom details that you can't change and that you don't like.
Create a sensory experience.
Make the room scented with candles or incense , choose soft, quality towels that match the bathroom colors and create a relaxing atmosphere with some ambient music .
Invest in a Roman or roller blind in a fabric that is also beautiful to the touch that will add a touch of elegance and comfort to the room, thus completing the transformation of your rented bathroom.
7. Lighting: light that enhances
Another way to transform your rental bathroom is to update the lighting.
Of course, you will need to keep any existing light fixtures so you can put them back in place at the end of your stay.
A new wall lamp or directional spotlight can add a touch of modernity and improve the overall atmosphere of the room.
Choose lights that are functional and at the same time add a touch of elegance and style to the bathroom.
8. Plants: greenery that relaxes
Introducing houseplants can be a simple yet effective way to add freshness and vitality to your rented bathroom .
Plants improve air quality and create a relaxing atmosphere.
Opt for plants that thrive in humid environments, such as ferns or alocasia , and place them strategically to add a touch of style to the room .
Tall or trailing plants can also help you hide blemishes like a water heater or visible metal pipes.
