Paint your walls
One way you can upgrade your bathroom on a budget is simply by painting your walls. It sounds small, but doing so can make much more of a difference than you think. Choose a colour scheme depending on the atmosphere you want to create. In need of a calming space?
Stick to calming tones such as blues and lavender. You could even purchase a sticker to paint around to create a fancy pattern on your walls. If you’re considering painting a radiator, check out our blog to figure out the best process.
Implement floating features
Another way to upgrade your bathroom without loosening the purse strings is to implement floating features. You could add a floating vanity cabinet, or even an extra shelf.
Not only do these create a timeless look, but they can free up space on your bathroom floor for you to store extra towels. Remember, a decluttered, neat bathroom never goes out of style.
Add artwork
Adding artwork to your bathroom can set the tone of the space and further reinforce your theme.
To further create a relaxing atmosphere, add pictures featuring scenes of nature. Or, for a more vibrant look, add artwork that features bright colours and shapes.
Repurpose old furniture
Another way to freshen up the look of your bathroom is to repurpose old furniture you have lying around.
For example, you could convert an old, small bedroom dresser into a bathroom vanity. Or, you might be able to use old bookshelves as open shelving for displaying your go-to items, such as skincare products and toiletries.
Fit a heated towel rail
We might be bias, but adding a heated towel rail to your bathroom can provide functionality as well as style.
You can choose one in your own bathroom’s style, such as a rail with a chrome finish, or even a towel radiator with a matt black finish. Best of all, they keep your towels warm and dry all year round, and free up floor space.
Replace small fixtures
Replacing small fixtures in your bathroom is another way you can save money whilst freshening up the space.
Swap out old faucets for more modern designs in matt black or polished nickel. Replace old toilet seats, shower curtains and towels to to be in keeping with your new colour scheme.
Introduce new plants
Plants can have a home inside your house, as well as outside. In fact, adding nature to your home can have several health benefits too, such as air purifying properties.
Your bathroom’s climate is likely dark and humid, so ensure you pick plants that thrive in that sort of environment. You could add a snake plant or cast iron plant, as both can thrive in dark rooms.
