Are you tired of your current bathroom but don’t feel like draining the bank to do a complete overhaul. Fear not! Take a weekend and revamp your space with these seven ways to upgrade your bathroom while not breaking the bank. Grab your paint brush and home tool kit and get ready to upgrade!

1. Select a Fresh Color
A simple coat of paint can truly re define and make a space feel brand new! By changing the wall colors, you are altering the room’s color palette and helping the space feel fresh and take on a new look. Don’t forget to paint the trim! A Fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to make a change. TIP: Staining or Refinishing the cabinets is an affordable option to making the space feel new too!

2. Install a New Mirror
Ditch the original or builder grade mirror. Hang something frame-less or one with a unique shape to add a new chic style and statement in your new bathroom! For those who like modern yet original, a simple rectangular mirror with a thick frame will be your go to choice.

3. Update Lights
Changing the light fixtures gives the bathroom an instant face lift! Light fixtures can show character, offer fun flair, and are easy to install! You won’t need more than a few tools. They can also be found for very affordable prices at your local home improvement store.

4. Install a New Shower Head and Faucet
Upgrade your shower head to make your bathroom feel more like a spa! Splurge on a rain shower head or one with a removable handle to help cleaning the bathroom be a breeze! Make sure to have the new faucet match the shower head so the space stays consistent and timeless.

5. Change out the Cabinetry Hardware
A simple change as small as changing the knobs and handles on a cabinet can give the bathroom a slight change of look. Change knobs to a pull handle for a modern look. You can even paint current knobs to save even more!

6. Change out Linens
If you display your linens in your bathroom, purchasing some fresh towels with a matching new bath rug can change up the space. White linens offer a clean, crisp feel, but nontraditional colors can be fun too! Choosing a fun color as teal, mustard, or navy add a fun hue to the space.

7. Add Shelving
Do you have an open wall? Hang some free-standing shelves to display art, towels, items for storage and maybe a fresh plant or two. Small baskets can hold soaps, lotions, cotton balls, and items you would like to share with your guests.
