With time and use, it’s easy for a bathroom to become outdated and dingy. When this happens it can be frustrating to use the space, knowing that an actual renovation isn’t in your budget. We’ll go over 5 ways you can transform a dull bathroom at a range of price points, all of which fall well short of the price of a total bathroom remodel.

1. Replace the shower curtain with glass.

While a few new bathroom designs will include a shower curtain, most feature a glass enclosure. This upgrade costs more than some of the others we’ll discuss, but it is a much quicker and cheaper transformation than renovating the whole space. Glass shower design offers a number of possibilities:

• On-trend silhouettes and finishes for the hardware
• Clear glass to make the room look more spacious
• A fresh, crisp appearance in place of a shower curtain that might be mlldewed or scummy

 

2. Update the hardware finish.

If a new glass shower installation isn’t in the cards, it’s still possible to update the bathroom and shower area. One option is bringing in a stylish metallic. These include:

• matte black
• satin brass
• brushed bronze

Your bathroom may very well have chrome or nickel hardware currently. However, thanks to the mixed metals fashion, you can add one of the trending finishes without replacing all the chrome and nickel fixtures. One way to introduce a new metal is through a shower pull replacement – see possibilities here. Just be careful to order a new product that’s compatible with your glass’s thickness and already drilled installation holes.

 

3. Clean and re-accessorize.

Next, we’ll look at a very budget-friendly way to refresh any bathroom. First, browse home decorating publications to get inspiration. Then choose a theme and color scheme for the space. With these choices in mind, shop for new bathroom accessories such as towels, rugs, and knick-knacks. To keep it eco-friendly and extra economical, look for the decorative items at a thrift store or flea market.

 

4. Change the color palette.

Another option is to go even further with a color update. By painting or papering the walls, you can douse the room in a new tone or pattern. Options include:

• Going monochromatic and painting the walls, trim, and ceiling in the same color
• Using bold peel-and-stick wallpaper to give the space dramatic personality
• Repainting the walls AND updating the accessories for fresh colors everywhere

 

5. Improve storage for a calm, tidy vibe.

Tidy, semi-minimalist spaces remain a hallmark of modern bathroom design. Giving your bathroom additional and more convenient storage options can help you embrace this look instead of one of cluttered chaos. For starters, it helps to simply give yourself more surfaces on which to store items neatly. How about glass wall shelves on sleek metal clamps? If space allows, you could consider a corner cabinet or even a large basket on the floor to fill with towels.
