9 Ways to Upgrade Your Bathroom for Under $100 This Weekend
You don’t have to live with tired, old or disorganized bathrooms. And you don’t have to overhaul it either. Small changes and small bills can help you love your bathroom again. Here are 9 ways you can upgrade your bathroom for under $100.
1. Change your lighting… or at least the glass
A lighting update can bring a fresh, new look to your bathroom. But if you’re not an electrician or if what you want is too pricey, new glass shades can breathe new life into old fixtures. You can find a variety of styles for under $20 apiece.
Who says you have to stick with the medium wood grain? Grab some sandpaper and your favorite color and transform it. If your cabinets are brown, you may want to go white for a classic look that never goes out of style. Or, adopt a trend and bring gray or blue into your cabinets for a modern touch.
3. New towels and bath mats
It seems like an easy fix…because it is. Talk about minimum effort, maximum reward. Simply and inexpensively freshen your bathroom with new linens.
4. Change your showerhead
You can change out a showerhead for under $20, but for a bit more, you can transform your shower into a spa-like experience. Get the high-tech editions for just under $79.
5. Organize it
It’s often what’s inside the drawers and cabinets that makes the bathroom unappealing. You might have enough space – you just need to use it right. An organizer with drawers is a great one for keeping everything tidy inside the cabinets. Drawer inserts offer additional solutions and start around $5.00.
6. Paint the door
It’s often overlooked, but your bathroom door can become a focal point when painted in a bold or complementary color.
7. The right lighting
Experts recommend sconces at the side of a bathroom mirror instead of lighting over the mirror. It creates fewer shadows and is optimum for shaving and applying makeup. But even if the placement of your lighting isn’t changeable, you can still adjust the brightness level by making sure you have the right bulbs.
8. Create some ambiance
Candles in clusters around the tub are a given. But you can create an inviting bathroom with other special touches as well.
A few pieces of inexpensive wall art in your design style, a unique scent diffuser, and a duo of decorative hand towels is all you need to create a more pulled together space.
Start with the art for around $22,00. Frame and you have a fresh look with a personal touch.
9. Scrub away
If you’re not inclined to buy anything or change anything, you can still make an impact on your space. Put your gloves on, get your favorite cleaning product and wah lah – you’ll brighten the space, and maybe your mood in the process.
