Adding bathroom sparkle

Adding sparkle to the bathroom can be as easy as an extra special scrub and polish or it could be new lighting fixtures. Cleaning is the least expensive way, however I have compiled below some great image ideas for adding sparkle to your bathroom that doesn't require rubber gloves.

Nice fix for a large plate mirror is to add a mirror on top of the plate mirror.
It provides a focal point and a dose of sparkle.



Sparkle doesn't have to be in the amount of crystals, it can also be in function.

A sparkly knob or pull can take a cabinet and move it into furniture.
This knob looks a bit lalique-ish and only cost about $15.00!
