Refresh your bathroom without spending a fortune

One of the most frequently used rooms in the house, the bathroom, is often overlooked in terms of design ― because homeowners think the process of refreshing a bathroom can turn frustrating and expensive for them. However, even if it seems impossible, you can revamp your bathroom in an attractive, cost-effective way.

Here are some simple ideas to refresh your bathroom without spending a fortune! Just expect to spend a few dollars with a little imagination! 

 

Add a Boho Bathroom Rug

Looking for the quickest and easiest way to refresh the feel of your bathroom? Get out of your comfort zone and try something new! 

Clear out all the rugs you’re currently using and replace them with boho bathroom rugs in a different, more vibrant color. It’s simple, elegant, and—best of all—cost-effective. Plus, it makes the bathroom feel cozy!

 

Add a fresh coat of paint or paint everything in white. 

Repaint instead of renovating! 

Even a single coat of paint brings a whole new look to your space. Bathrooms tend to be smaller rooms, so they won’t need nearly as much paint as other rooms, such as bedrooms or living rooms. And it is possible to completely refinish the average bathroom with 1-2 gallons of paint so that you can change the room’s entire look for not more than $50. 

Choose the colors for your bathroom based on the way you want it to feel. If you’d like an airy, open feeling, go with white. Go with earthy brown or green for a bolder, more organic look.

 

Add new hardware 

Changing the hardware in your bathroom is the easiest way to refresh it! Your bathroom will look completely different with new towel bars, new drawer pulls, toilet paper holders, and faucets. Spend some of your budget on upgrading these items. Adding new hardware to a bathroom can make it look showroom-quality. 

If you want to reinvent your décor, all you need to do is replace yellow polished brass with matte brass, oil-rubbed bronze, or brushed nickel. Changing the builder’s basic fixtures for something with more heft, style, and personality will also update their look, feel, and function. These items elevate an ordinary space into something extraordinary, much like jewelry dresses up an outfit.

 

Replace the lighting

If you want to give your bathroom a luxe look, you should change the lighting – both the placement as well as the fixtures. It isn’t necessary to spend a lot on these swaps. An elegant focal point can be created by adding crystal drops to a small chandelier over a vanity or by adding sleek wall lighting around a mirror. You can also use LED shelf strips and wall sconces to create a flattering glow throughout the entire room.

Also, low lighting makes bath time more relaxing and reduces energy consumption. Change your lighting bulbs to a lower wattage for a warm, soft glow, or opt for lighting with frosted glass shades.

 

Add plants

Small changes can sometimes make a big difference in your bathroom. The addition of houseplants and other greenery to your bathroom is a simple and cheap way to make it feel more alive. Put some cute pots on shelves, windows, and corners, or even hang them on the wall. You can choose from many types of plants, like snake plants, aloe vera, ponytail palms, pothos, and cacti. The presence of these houseplants in bathrooms will enhance the air quality and refresh the overall decor.

 

Use tile stickers 

In most bathrooms, feature tiles play a significant role, so replacing them can make your space feel brand new. However, the process of replacing tiles can be costly and messy. Instead, as an alternative, use title stickers that can transform the look of your tiles quickly and easily. Your bathroom will look much more attractive with stickers that mimic traditional tiles.

 

Add wallpaper

Adding a splash of color or pattern to your bathroom is easy and inexpensive with removable wallpaper. In addition, you can easily switch up the design of your bathroom if you no longer like it. To prevent mildew and peeling, choose varieties that are heat- and moisture-resistant. If you want a bathroom with many personalities, go all in and apply peel-and-stick wallpaper to every wall. As well as improving the aesthetics of your walls, wallpapers also add longevity and durability.

 

Add candles and air fresheners.

The next thing you should do is add candles and air fresheners to your bathroom. Candles are great because they give off a soft glow when they are lit, which makes the room feel warm and welcoming. They also help to keep the atmosphere of your bathroom more pleasant by masking some of the odors that can occur in a bathtub. 

And air fresheners are also a great way to make your bathroom smell fresh without having to worry about buying expensive perfumes or scented sprays for each season. Air fresheners are made from natural ingredients, so they don’t have any harsh chemicals that could irritate your skin or cause a headache after using one for too long.

Add a new look with a bathroom waste bin and tissue box.

Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference. You can easily add a new look to your bathroom by adding a colorful new waste bin and tissue box. Simply changing your waste bins and adding a tissue box to your bathroom makes the space feel more upscale. Consequently, your bathroom will look better overall. 

Tissue boxes and waste bins come in different designs and colors. Choose the ones that match the decor of your bathroom.  

Invest in towel storage

While towel storage can make a big difference in how your bathroom looks and feels, most towel storage options are incredibly affordable. So if you want to transform your bathroom for a low budget, it’s a must to invest in new towel storage. Depending on your needs, you can find towel storage solutions for small spaces, family bathrooms, and for décor pieces that can be used as decorative accents as well.

The Bottom Line

Bringing life to your bathroom doesn’t require a complete remodel. It only takes a few budget-friendly expenses to make your bathroom look and feel new. With these simple bathroom decor ideas, you’re sure to change up your bathroom’s visual plane without breaking the bank!
