"My initial thought was to paint all the cabinets and install peel-and-stick tile, but we would've had to paint the wood back to its original color and there aren't many temporary tile options readily available here. Instead of giving myself a headache by completely trying to modernize the bathrooms, I decided to brighten up the outdated style with color and artwork wherever I could."
"All in all, it was a step up from where the bathrooms were before, but I still needed something else to balance out the overwhelming amount of beige and white on the walls. Again, I wanted a DIY project with minimal effort that would make a huge difference. Enter: double-sided tape alongside Command picture hanging strips and hooks to create an eye-catching gallery wall."
The occupant moved into a four-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment provided by a spouse's employer in Cairo and faced multiple dated bathrooms. Painting cabinets and installing peel-and-stick tile proved impractical due to repainting wood and limited temporary tile options. The bathrooms were brightened using printed shower curtains raised to the ceiling with IKEA tension rods to cover dingy tile and bathtubs, and plain bath mats were replaced with washable Ruggable rugs. A low-effort DIY gallery wall was created with double-sided tape, Command picture hanging strips, and hooks. Artwork of Cairo and small canvases in dark and light frames complemented the bathroom's wood and light brown detailing.
