6 Small Bathroom Renovations That Go A Long Way

You don’t have to remodel your entire bathroom to get the look you want and will love. See below to learn more about the top 6 small bathroom renovations and updates that go a long way! 

 

1. Install New Window Treatments

Adding new window treatments to your bathroom is an excellent way to update your room. One of the best things about window treatments is that there are so many options, which means there will be something that fits your preferred style, your unique windows, and your set budget. You can choose from shutters, drapes, shades, blinds or even a combination of multiple styles. 

You can also choose other custom options, small additions such as tiebacks for your curtains or drapes, or larger custom options such as motorized or automated blinds that are part of your larger smart home system! Since there are so many options when looking at window treatments, it’s a great idea to talk to the professionals to help you find the right option that fits your wants, needs, and budget. 

 

2. Paint Your Walls

Repainting can help update your bathroom’s look and spruce up the walls

 

Average Cost: $
Transformation Rating★☆☆

Over time, your bathroom walls will likely become a bit worn down and the colour may be a bit out of style. Bathroom walls often take a beating due to high amounts of moisture and traffic. Painting your walls can help cover up old stains and chips that naturally happen over time, and update the room with a fresh, modern colour! You can even use this as an opportunity to add in some wallpaper – which is trending well into 2019!

If you are doing other work around your bathroom, such as changing out the vanity or adding new decor, this is the perfect time to paint your walls. When moving out an old vanity, it’s likely that your new one will not be the exact same fit as the old one – this may leave old, unpainted walls exposed. Or, if you are adding new decor, your previous paint colour may not work well with your new taste. Even if you are not doing any extra work, don’t underestimate what a fresh coat of paint can do to any room in your home!

 

3. Install New Tiles

New tiles don’t have to break the bank – but they can easily transform your bathroom

 

Average Cost: $$ – $$$$
Transformation Rating★★★

Updating your bathroom tiles doesn’t have to be as complicated as you may think. When people think of re-doing bathroom tiles, they often think of expensive or multi-day renovations. However, updating your tiles doesn’t mean you have to update them all at once! For example, you may want to add in a new backsplash or retile your shower. These projects can be relatively inexpensive if you choose your tiles carefully, and won’t take longer than a day to complete.

If you are in desperate need of new flooring or can’t stand not having a backsplash, there are also some amazing peel and stick tiles that look almost identical to the ‘real deal.’ Modern vinyl tiles are high quality and can be a great, cost-effective alternative if you just don’t have it in your budget to purchase ceramic tiles. 

 

4. Update Your Light Fixture(s)

New light fixtures can cost less than $100 but help to bring a new look to your bathroom

 

Average Cost: $ – $$
Transformation Rating★☆☆

One of the most cost-effective updates you can do for your bathroom is to purchase new light fixtures. New light fixtures can cost around $100 for the most budget-friendly options, and potentially even less if you search through thrift and discount stores! Although a new light fixture won’t completely transform your bathroom, it can help to update the room and get you closer towards your design goals. Keep in mind you’ll need to find light fixtures made from materials that will do well in moist and damp environments – check out some tips on finding the right bathroom lighting here!

 

5. Add A New Vanity

A new vanity is the perfect way to showcase your updated style

 

Average Cost: $$$+
Transformation Rating★★★

Just like new tiles, adding a new vanity doesn’t have to be a huge renovation that costs more than you were expecting. There are many pre-made vanities that you can buy at your local hardware or kitchen store that cost just a few hundred dollars. Some avid do-it-yourselfers even have tips for creating a vanity from an old cabinet, which can cost you almost nothing at all if you have the right tools and materials lying around! 

For homeowners who want to update an outdated bathroom, it can be hard to modernize your bathroom without adding a new vanity. However, if you don’t have the budget for it just yet, you can always paint your existing vanity or get an updated faucet. These small changes can end up making a big difference! 

 

6. Add More Storage

Additional storage can be as simple as a few extra shelves, or as elaborate as extra built-in cabinets

 

Average Cost: $ – $$$
Transformation Rating★★☆

Adding new storage to your bathroom will not only help you practically by adding more space to store bathroom items, but it will also help add a new look and feel to your space! One of the best things about installing additional storage is that you have so many options to choose from.

You can choose to simply install a few floating shelves above your toilet as seen in the left image (can cost less than $50), or go all-out and add a few additional cabinets to your bathroom space (may cost a few hundred dollars or more). In the right picture, we see a unique medicine cabinet complete with an interior mirror, built-in plug, and various shelves! When it comes to bathroom storage, there is an option for everyone – no matter what your budget.
