Budget Bathroom Decor

With a little creativity, you can create almost a whole new look for your bathroom inexpensively.

• Mount a shelf on the wall to display collectibles.
• Add a live plant or fresh flowers to the bathroom.
• Replace your shower curtain with an attractive new one.
• Repaint the walls. Use a light shade for brightness.
• Place soaps, bath salts, or other small toiletries in a rustic bowl or pretty candy dish.
• Hang some inexpensive framed prints on the wall, or replace the ones that are already there.
• Decorate with a few candles strategically placed. These can be lighted for a soothing effect while bathing.
• Replace toilet seats, towel holders, and toilet paper holders.
• Purchase some inexpensive organizing storage shelves, boxes, and bin to organize and store bathroom items.
• Get rid of the clutter. It's surprising how much more spacious a bathroom can feel when all the clutter is put away neatly.
• Install additional towel bars or towel rings, to minimize the temptation to toss used towels on the floor. An over-the-door bar is a good spot for extra towel bars if you're short on wall space.
• Install decorative hooks for hanging robes, shower caps, and any other "hangable" items.
• Replace old worn-out bath mats or bathroom rugs with inexpensive new ones.
• Go on a shopping spree at a local discount store for inexpensive tissue box holders, soap dishes, frames, shelf units, storage shelves, and other storage and decorative items.
• Put the bathroom trash container out of sight in the cabinet under the sink.
• Replace the lightbulbs with brighter, higher-watt bulbs.
• Install additional lighting fixtures.
• Install new drawer pulls and cabinet door handles. For such a small change, these can make a world of difference in your bathroom's appearance.
• Hang some mirrors on the walls. Nothing opens up space and brightens a room like mirrors.
