A bathroom renovation is undoubtedly an expensive project. We can't afford the clawfoot tub of our dreams, but that doesn't mean we can't give our bathrooms a dramatic makeover.
On the other hand, we feel that good style doesn't have to be costly, which is why we've come up with a new batch of budget-friendly décor ideas that truly work.
We're highlighting affordable yet trendy bathroom styling tips and hacks to make fresh, contemporary interiors a little more accessible. These budget-friendly bathroom decoration ideas will provide you with the high-quality style and freshness you desire.
●
Accessorize to match
Bring in identical bathroom accessories in a contrasting shade to your existing decor to create a simplified and coordinated effect without breaking the bank. Soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, and storage jars should all be matched with towels in the same colour family. In most supermarkets, you may discover inexpensive bathroom accessories that appear to be far more expensive than their price tags.
●
Go big with tiling
Large
format bathroom tiles were once more expensive due to their weight, but modern
production technology and design improvements have ensured that going big won't
break the bank. Compared to small, complex designs, large format tiles require
fewer tiles and significantly less grouting, making them a comparatively
cost-effective solution.
●
Vamp up the vinyl
Vinyl floors are durable, waterproof, and cost-effective, making them an excellent choice for low-cost bathrooms. Vinyl is no longer limited to flimsy, thin materials; it is now available in a wide range of brilliant colors, patterns, and finishes. Against a pure white suite and walls, this refreshing blue Roccoco design makes a beautiful impression.
●
Use wood panels
Wood panelling is a charming and typically less expensive alternative to wall tiles, especially if you prefer a rustic style. Make sure you treat the wood in protective water-resistant paint with an oil-based finish and only install it in locations that are unlikely to get soaked.
●
Clean the Existing tiles
In this humid and wet environment, your bathroom's tile and grouting can rapidly become discolored with mold and mildew. Existing tiles can be made to seem new again with a toothbrush, white vinegar, and a little elbow effort. If the discoloration persists, a grout pen can brighten up the drab tile borders.
●
Make the bathroom backdrop
visible
Why not use the opportunity to add a new feature to your washroom if your bathroom decorating project is part of a new extension or renovation? Keep piping exposed for an on-trend industrial vibe, or go for a tactile bare brick accent wall instead of plastering. You may need to use a protective treatment to seal porous materials.
●
Take some styling advice from the
spa
Giving a budget bathroom a theme can make it feel more luxurious without breaking the bank. An elegant spa concept with a freestanding bathtub and freestanding bath taps, Moroccan-inspired tiles, a wood floor, and clean white touches is apparent everywhere you look. Take a seat and relax.
●
Paint the room to make it more
vibrant
Adding a new colour to your bathroom may transform the space for the price of a few paint tins! Softer wall colours reflect light and provide the impression of more space, but bolder colours, such as this energizing bright blue, recall the soothing rush of the sea.
●
Get yourself some new towels
A clean new bundle of towels is the simplest way to make your bathroom feel renewed on a budget. With a new set, whether white or bright, it's sure to give a room that fluffy hotel vibe and make it feel more spacious. Rather than stuffing your new towels into a cabinet, hang them from hooks on a bathroom hook or hanger.
●
Go for greenery
Bringing nature indoors is a wonderful approach to creating a relaxing, peaceful environment. Buy a few indoor plants and place them on the windowsill or on a console table to turn your bathroom into a calm haven. Play around with levels and suspend a couple of hanging plants from the ceiling if you're feeling brave.
●
Wow with Wall Panels
Many people dismiss wall panels in the bathroom as impractical, but if you do your research, it can make your space shine — it's far easier to repair than tiles, and there are plenty of moisture-resistant wall panels to select from. For a pop of color, go for a vividly patterned feature wall or a budget-friendly stone or brick-effect design to add texture.
●
Assemble a storage stool
Instead of relying on cupboards, baskets, and shelving, use a little stool to showcase your best-looking bathroom goods. It won't take up a lot of room and will make a unique statement piece that can also be utilized as a seat when necessary.
●
Experiment with textured baskets
Bathroom baskets are a budget bathroom essential for keeping a tiny area tidy and organized, whether they're for laundry, toiletries, or cleaning materials. Natural textures and warmth can be added with seagrass or rattan, while washable linen and wood are other current washroom themes.
● Install shelves and grab bars that
can be used for multiple purposes

●
Make a posh appearance

●
Install the laminate
Installing
laminate flooring in your laundry room is a simple way to make a big difference
for a small investment. It's long-lasting, easy to clean, and simple to put
together, making it ideal for DIY enthusiasts. You can also choose from a
variety of faux-stone options if wood-effect isn't your style.
