Don't panic as there's a range of ways in which you can update your <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/bathroom-accessories/D26M07G07C02,default,sc.html" target="_blank">bathroom</a> in a flash. And that's without splashing your hard-earned cash or spending hours slaving away at your washroom. </p><p>Our affordable makeover tips show you how little additions, such as potted plants and decorative mirrors, can easily turn your bathroom into a tranquil space. </p><h2>Give it the green-fingered touch </h2><p>Plants will not only purify the air, but will also give your space a serene atmosphere. Trisha Schofield, of the Good Housekeeping Institute, is our go-to for cleaning tips and hacks. </p><p>She told us: "Add a touch of greenery with a potted plant. Our <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/home-accessories/george-home-succulent-in-copper-pot/050085933,default,pd.html?dual=0&placement_id=GRGPPH&config_id=GRGPPH&strategy=PWVAV&product_id=050085933&parent_item_id=050215768" target="_blank">succulent in copper</a> effect pot, will freshen up a room in an instant and it&rsquo;s artificial so there&rsquo;s no watering required!"</p><h2>Make a stylish display </h2><p>Forget bathroom minimalism, if you're choosing luxe-looking products with pretty packaging, put them on show. Candles, perfume bottles and <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/bathroom-accessories/luxe-pineapple-bathroom-range/SET2829,default,pd.html" target="_blank">pretty metallic soap dispensers</a>, like in the picture below, can all give your bathroom a stylish luxe feel. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="george-bathroom-2__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/george-bathroom-2__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Revamp your fixtures and fittings</h2><p>For a budget-friendly alternative to investing in new tiles, make any less-than-gleaming grouting look good as new with a homemade mix of bicarbonate of soda and water.</p><p>Trisha says: "Rub it onto the grouting with an old toothbrush (an electric one is best), then fill a spray bottle with vinegar and spritz it over the bicarb mix. Use the toothbrush to scrub away any remaining grime, then rinse well with water."</p><h2>Throw in the towel</h2><p>Looking for an even easier way to add some colour to your bathroom? Trisha says: "Update your space and add a splash of colour in an instant by replacing old towels and flannels with some vibrant new ones like our <a href="https://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/spring-summer-catalogue/bohemian-brights-bathroom-range/SET2898,default,pd.html" target="_blank">Bright Chevron Border bath</a> towel, each. Tumble drying will help keep them fluffy while reducing detergent will avoid towels feeling stiff."</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="george-bathroom__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/george-bathroom__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Weave in a basket or two</h2><p>If your bathroom cabinets are full to the rafters then choose an eye-catching basket or two to control the overflow.
