This tip is, without doubt, the easiest to pull off and is one of the budget-friendly tips on this list you CAN NOT wait to try.

Add a standout item
If you have decided to make your bathroom a grey and white colourway, let me say it is a great choice. But your foray into the world of colours is far from done. You should make your bathroom stand out by choosing a standout feature or item in your bathroom and painting it a standout colour. Imagine walking into a bathroom and being met by a bright blue stand or towel hanger. It just calls out to you and enhances all the other features and designs in the bathroom.
