How To Update Your Bath With Glass Soap Dispensers

Rising costs sometimes make it difficult to do the full scale remodel of your home's master bath you've always wanted. However, it is easy and economical to freshen up the decor in your bathroom with a fresh coat of paint, fresh decor accents, or new bulb shades for sconces or other light fixtures.

Choosing Colors

How is your master bath set up? Does it have its own door, or just an open doorway? Is it a large or a small space? Is it a full bathroom or a half bath? Asking these questions can help you narrow down color choices.

For instance, if your bath was constructed with an open door frame, the color you choose for it will need to coordinate with the colors used in your bedroom, since they'll frequently be viewed together. If space is limited, you may also want to hang a curtain over the door frame for privacy.

It's important to keep in mind that color can create illusions, too. A larger room can be made more intimate with a few well-placed lights and dark shades on the wall. A small room opens up and becomes more airy with the use of lighter hues. Accessories like glass soap dispensers come in a wide array of colors, shapes, and styles that will suit your chosen mood and tone.

Accessorizing

Bulb shades for sconces and other light fixtures can be dated, particularly if they're original to the home. Unless they have some rustic charm of their own, it's inexpensive to buy replacements that look more modern at your local hardware store. Tie the room together by echoing the look of your bulb shades in other glass bath accessories. If your shades are frosted, use frosted glass. If they're sculpted, coordinate the look with sculpted glass soap dispensers.

If you're looking for eco friendly ways to accessorize, try upcycling. It's easy to make your own recycled glass soap dispensers. Just clean vintage jars or bottles thoroughly, then add hardware to create unique soap dispensers with metal pumps. You can go rustic with bronzed or brushed finishes for the metal and old mason jars, or use bright chrome finishes and frosted or etched bottles or thin vases to make your soap dispensers.

If do-it-yourself projects aren't your thing, try looking on sites with a handmade focus, like Etsy. Nearly every aesthetic is represented. Try searching for "recycled glass soap dispensers" for ready-made soap dispensers with a vintage twist, or "soap dispensers with metal pump" if you're looking for ideas to try. The latter search term can also help you find parts you can use to refurbish your favorite soap dispenser.

Your Updated Bath

Don't stop at soap dispensers. You can use other glass bath accessories to help freshen your bathroom's look as well. Glass Soap Dishes, toothbrush holders and tumblers in glass can impart a relaxing, spa-like vibe to your master bath. And best of all, it's fast, easy and economical - an absolute bonus for those on a budget.
