Reviving a tired bathroom does not always require a total overhaul. Updated fixtures, refreshed cabinets, smart storage solutions, and decorative accents can add character and style to any bathroom. Best of all, you do not have to break your budget to realize the bathroom of your dreams!
1. Remove Clutter
Removing the clutter from the counter top and other areas of the room is the easiest, and most frugal, way to give your bathroom an uplift! Place items in storage containers under the sink. Purchase drawer organizers. Â Add some freestanding or wall-hung shelves to further organize you toiletries or display tasteful accents. Using old wooden crates as smart holders for extra toilet paper and rolled bath towers will add a touch of character to your bathroom.
2. Update Fixtures
A very budget friendly and easy way to update your bathroom is simply to replace the fixtures. Modern faucets and a new shower head will enhance the look and feel of your bathroom, giving it a very appealing visual lift.
