HOW TO DO A BATHROOM MAKEOVER ON A BUDGET

I was flipping around on Instagram the other day when I realized I’d written several blog posts about easy ways to update your bathroom.  (Are you following me over there?  If not click here to start!) So I thought, “I need to put those all together in one easy reference post!”, and that’s why I’m here today. 🙂  I like these little updates because when you are trying to settle into a new space or are tight on the ole home improvement budget these small changes make a big impact for very little money.  It’s easy to do a bathroom makeover on a budget in as little as 1 day!

Easy Bathroom Remodel Ideas

 

So without further adu here are my best tips for an easy bathroom makeover on a budget:

  1. Change the mirror:  This is my #1 tip because it is the easiest and fastest way to begin giving your bathroom a custom look.  It doesn’t require a saw (scary!) or any special skills.  Unique mirrors can be found at all price points and any manner of stores, including thrift stores, which means it is something ANYONE can do!  CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST ABOUT CHANGING YOUR BATHROOM MIRROR.
  2.   Add art:  When I initially redid the bathroom I deviated from my original plan and used bright white paint instead of an off white or ivory.  That sounds so silly to type out but it threw everything off.  Now even if I had nailed the paint color on the first try I still would have added art but what saved my bad paint job was the art.  CLICK HERE TO SEE MY FULL 1 DAY BATHROOM MAKEOVER & THE ART I CHOSE.
  3. Paint, Paint, Paint: No one can argue with the power of paint.  Bathrooms have so many hard finishes that you might underestimate the power of paint but don’t.  Of course paint your walls, but what about your vanity?  If your vanity is outdated or the finish looks worn freshen it up, and extend it’s life, with paint.  CLICK HERE TO SEE MY PAINTED BATHROOM VANITY.
  4. Do something bold with the shower curtain:  Have you ever heard that a bathroom is the best place for a bold wallpaper?  Well I’m going to counter that and say that the bathroom is the best place to go BOLD no matter what.  The reason why this is the case is it’s a small space and there are already so many hard, white finishes (toilet, tub, sink) that there is usually a natural counter balance.  When I took the chance and repurposed bold drapery as a shower curtain it changed & elevated the look of the entire bathroom.  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE A BOLD SHOWER CURTAIN MAKES.

These are not only great tips for freshening your bathroom up but also of how to update it for selling your home.  To see my full guide on how to stage a bathroom to sell click here.

    Love these bathroom makeover tips! We’ll be doing this in a few weeks, updating a 70s gold bathroom covered in wallpaper to something a whole lot easier to look at. 😊 Thanks for sharing, I think we’ll have to change out the mirror now!

    Love getting ideas for changing up a room without completely redoing it! I’ve been thinking about updating my bathroom, but I’m not really sure what I want to do in there yet. THanks for the inspiration!

    Since it’s a small space it is so much easier to redo especially on a budget. I love your tips.

      Exactly – especially if you are able to work around your existing finishes.
