We often get bored of a bathroom design before it’s time for a renovation. When this happens, turn to a weekend bathroom makeover instead. We’ll look at projects spanning a range of budgets and skill sets that all have the same goal: breathing fresh life into your space without a full remodel.

Paint…….Maybe somewhere unexpected.

A tried and true method for reviving any room is to put a few fresh coats of paint on the walls, ceiling, and trim. Besides giving the room a “new” vibe, this also allows you to transform the color scheme. For instance, many home decorating articles suggest that gray is on its way out in favor of warmer tones like beige, and a switch like this is easy to make with a few cans of paint! However, you can also think outside the box and paint something more surprising. How about giving the bathroom door a pop of color? Or sanding and painting your old wooden vanity?

Bring in a new hardware finish.

Certain metallics like matte black, brushed bronze, and satin brass are trending. Designers have embraced using two or three metal finishes in the same room, so you can embrace one of these stylish finishes while leaving original components like shower door hinges in place. Possible items to replace include:

Cover one or more walls with wallpaper in a bold design.

Many decorators are giving bathrooms character and charm with unique wallpaper. With plenty of peel-and-stick options available, this project can be speedier than it used to be. Modern wallpaper choices often feature bold colors, striking designs, and pictorial motifs. Wild wallpaper will even distract from any lesser features of the room. For a more subtle effect, apply paper to only one wall. It will still be very impactful but easier to change if you get tired of it.

Replace the bathroom accessories.

When a remodel is out of your current price range, see if you have enough funds to replace all the small stuff. This is yet another way to refresh a bathroom’s color scheme and theme with minimal effort. Items to change out include:

Give the bathroom a definite theme.

Another way to renew a bathroom is with a fun theme. You could choose a motif like sailboats, wildflowers, seashells, or whatever appeals to you. Hit up thrift stores and flea markets, looking for wall hangings and knick-knacks that will contribute to your vibe. Themes are especially nice in powder rooms, kids’ restrooms, and guest bathrooms.
