That doesn’t mean you should run out to buy all new fixtures. Unless your knobs, pulls, handles, and hinges are broken, there’s no real reason to replace them. Get that new look simply by thoroughly washing and repainting them. There is spray paint made specifically for this reason. The project is incredibly cheap. Here are some items of household hardware you can make look almost new with a paint overhaul:
• towel bars • toilet paper holders • door handles • old light fixtures
The goal is to patch up your property nicely with as little cash as possible, and this is a great way to do it. If, unfortunately, you do have broken or completely worn-out hardware, you’ll need to replace the whole set unless you can find matching pieces. Other options are to paint the old and new to match. You could also combine the good parts in one bathroom and replace all the hardware in the other. Warning: If you end up replacing your knobs, make sure you get matching exposed hinges for cabinet doors. Consistency is a good thing when selling a home.
