After kitchen renovation, bathroom remodeling can become one of the most expensive home projects. But it doesn’t have to be. With a proper planning and a little creativity, you can refresh your bathroom in style, inexpensively and without much inconvenience.
1. SAVE MONEY BY REPAINTING
If you don’t have a lot to spend, then repainting will be the cheapest and, perhaps, the most effective way to give your bathroom a new look. Once you have successfully painted your walls, get to the fun part and choose some cute little details to perfectly match with the tone. Another thing to consider is the moisture. Since mold develops easily in a bathroom, and humidity and temperature change often, it’s a good idea to invest in high-quality mold resistant paint with a satin finish.

The floor and wall tiles got repainted, the shower got replaced with a bathtub, the small sink got replaced with a new vanity. Little natural details support the nordic Scandinavian look. Source
2. VISIT ANTIQUE STORES AND FLEA MARKETS
If you are looking for a unique solution for your bathroom, a visit to the antique store might inspire you a lot. Antique stores and flea markets are the places to find real treasures. You can give your bathroom a personal touch with beautiful antique furniture and one of a kind design elements. You can mix and match, give them a fresh coat of paint, or use them as they are- depending of the style of your home. Our biggest favourites are old coffee tables and chests of drawers that make the perfect vanity or dressing table for a bathroom. Some antique stores even provide painting service for the purchased items. Flea markets are also a great place to find a bath tub or a sink that, with some renovation, could become a true eye-catcher in your bathroom. Plus, renovating an old bathtub is cheaper than buying a brand new one.

3. UPDATE FIXTURES
Next, look at the little details. You can update light fixtures, sink faucets, towel racks, and drawer pulls for a relatively small investment. These items may seem insignificant, but updating them can make a huge difference in your bathroom’s look.

The focus point could be beautifully tiled wall, new vanity or some other detail that catches the eye when entering the room. Once you have chosen the focus point, make sure the rest of the room follows its colour palette. Just get some matching towels, lights, mirrors and other details. That little move will change the game for sure!

4. ORGANIZE WITH STYLE
There is always too much stuff in the bathroom. Shampoo bottles, cream containers and all sorts of necessary things that create a colorful mess. Think through your storage solutions and give your bathroom a whole new look with just a little effort. Just hide the things you don’t use every day, and create a beautiful organized display of the ones you do. Fancy containers, wire baskets, ladder shelves- there are endless stylish ways to get organized!

6. SET YOUR IMAGINATION FREE
Think way outside the box. If you wish to spice up your home, bathroom is the place to start trying bold colours and patterns you would not dare to use in any other room. Forget about the pictures in the magazines and think what You would like to have in your own bathroom. Think personal, think fun- because remodeling should be fun. The only rule to follow- may that room be as eclectic and colourful as you wish, the selected details still have to match with each other and the entire atmosphere you are about to create:)
