What can you change in the bathroom of a rented flat?

Tenants have several options when it comes to bathroom renovations. The walls above the tiles can be wallpapered or painted, and lighting on the ceiling and in other areas can be replaced. Always check the appropriate IP protection class. Bathroom furniture and textiles are also the tenant's responsibility, as are decorations and plants.

How to upgrade the bathroom in a rented flat

Bathroom design options are limited in a rented flat. But you don’t need a complete renovation to give your old bathroom a new look:

Choose the right bathroom accessories

Add a floral touch with fresh flowers in coordinating vases. Maritime blue and beige shades are particularly popular choices for vases in the bathroom. You can find a selection of high-quality vases in different designs at Villeroy & Boch. A few decorative candles or a new toilet seat will also give your bathroom an instant makeover.

Perfect bathroom mirrors

While you won’t usually be able to change the sanitary fittings, you are often free to choose the mirror cabinet or bathroom mirror. Choose a model that matches your personal taste.

Choose practical bathroom furniture

You can also design your own bathroom shelves or cabinets. Rather than traditional wall shelves or built-in cabinets, make clever use of the space with freestanding furniture. This will visually separate individual areas to create your very own well-being retreat.

Set accents with bathroom textiles

New bathroom textiles are a great way to transform your bathroom. From bath rugs to soft, fluffy towels – choose a colour scheme and bring your visions to life. Maritime blue and beige shades are popular choices. Or opt for a floral look with green towels and fresh flowers.
