Yes, the bathroom can be a blissful place — especially when it’s tailored to your specific preferences. And while you can easily invest thousands in a bathroom remodel, you don’t have to. You can spiff up your space on a budget with these simple tips and tricks for DIY bathroom renovations.
Get Painting
A new coat of paint is an easy way to freshen up any space. While most bathrooms are a shade of white, don’t be afraid to choose a bold color. Not only will it instantly transform the look and feel of the room, but it will also make your bathroom more appealing and modern. Scroll through this gallery for some inspiring paint ideas.
Explore Useful Storage Options
Are you living with endless clutter on your bathroom countertops? Most of us are. Corral all those odds and ends in pretty containers like mason jars or tuck them away in stackable drawers. Inside the shower, install a hanging shower caddy for your shampoos, shower creams, shave gels, and the like. These storage strategies can give your bathroom an easy (and affordable) new aesthetic appeal.
Make a Statement with Tile
Updating the tile has a big impact in DIY bathroom renovations. The tiling is one of the first things you notice when you step into the space, and it can set the tone for the entire bathroom. Vinyl or ceramic tiles are most popular in bathrooms because they’re water resistant and easy to clean. You can also think beyond the flooring with your tile, and install a mosaic tile backsplash above the sink or on the shower wall. This adds a simple pop of character and color to the bathroom without overwhelming the eye — or your budget.
Finish Up with Accents
Think about investing in a few new pieces to complete your DIY bathroom renovations. Small things like a new shower curtain, wall hangings, or bathroom rug will make the space feel fresh and updated.
Embarking on a bathroom renovation on your own doesn’t have to be complex or expensive. With a few small updates and tweaks, your bathroom can be a beautiful, relaxing, and glorious retreat for you and your family. Ready to get started? Check out this handy checklist for DIY bathroom renovations.
