Consider upgrading your faucet, towel racks and toilet paper holder to ones that have a more custom look. Today home improvement stores have premium fixtures and you can even order ones in the particular color or finish you want. Focus on unique colors and satin or brush finishes if you have a more traditional looking bathroom and go for stainless steel or porcelain if your bathroom has a more modern look. Fixtures are an inexpensive way to upgrade any bathroom.
