You will need reportedly around £7,000 to fund a complete bathroom renovation in the UK, although this amount can vary significantly. However, improving your bathroom space needn’t be an expensive and daunting task. There are numerous easy DIY updates and budget-friendly bathroom ideas you can consider to refresh your bathroom at a fraction of the cost of a complete renovation while achieving similar functional and aesthetic effects. If you want to learn more about upgrading your bathroom without remodelling, consider the points below.
- Invest in a great mirror
Many interior design experts agree that a new mirror is worth considering for your bathroom makeover, so keep this in mind. Luckily, you can invest in ready-cut, frameless mirrors from hardware stores in many sizes for your bathroom. Alternatively, you can visit mirror and homeware retailers to find a nicely framed mirror with an elaborate touch for your bathroom space.
- Rethink your grout
Your bathroom space can also benefit from a tile transformation since this can be a subtle change that makes a huge difference. White grout demands frequent cleaning and maintenance to prevent mould from growing in your bathroom. Therefore, consider adding a fresh layer of dark-coloured grout to freshen your bathroom floor and make it easier to maintain. Dark grout contrasts nicely with white tiles and works well with a captivating or unique tile pattern. Consider any different types of grout available, from Epoxy grout to Conbextra GP, depending on suitability.
- Maximise your storage space
You can always make the most of the vertical space available in your bathroom to create storage and declutter this space, so keep this in mind. Consequently, consider mounting wooden shelves or ledges to keep plants, towels, and toiletries without taking up floor space. Also, you can install an under-sink cabinet to store various items in your bathroom. Basket shelves are also an inexpensive bathroom storage solution to consider, so you can mount these on your wall to keep small towels, lotions, and makeup products. You can also use a bar cart as a roll-away bathroom storage solution to keep towels and lotions or create a manicure or hair styling station. Finally, invest in hanging bathroom organisers with multiple storage options so you can keep various products within reach.
- Add plants
It is no secret that adding plants in any space in the home introduces some life and a sense of energy. Plants are especially useful in bathrooms because these spaces are hard-surfaced areas with few opportunities to add warmth. As such, consider bringing in a shower plant to add colour into your bathroom without competing with other colours. Shower plants can also improve air quality and help absorb any excess moisture from your bathroom, fending off any bacterial growth. Also, indoor plants have been proven to boost mood, so having these plants in your bathroom is a great idea to put you in high spirits in the morning. You can make room for plants in the bathroom by placing a floor plant in the corner, putting a small plant on the vanity, or investing in cascading hanging plants.
