Bathroom renovations are popular—and sometimes, expensive—home remodeling projects. When you want to refresh the look of your bathroom without spending a lot of money, think about these do-it-yourself ideas!

Choose new textiles

A new shower curtain and bathmat are easy ways to update your bathroom. Pick a fresh color or choose one that complements the color of your existing tiles and cabinets. While you are at it, buy matching, new towels, too.

Refresh your grout

Over time, grout can get dingy. Giving it a good scrub can brighten up your whole bathroom. Also, consider regrouting your tiles. You can pick a new color to give your bathroom a new look when you do.

Replace your fixtures

Replacing your sink features is another simple way to upgrade your bathroom and can improve its functionality if your current faucets are old. Replace your towel bars with hardware that matches your faucet, while you're at it. Also, think about replacing your shower head to enhance your shower experience. You can choose between fixed, handheld, massage, rainfall, low-flow, water-saving models, and many more styles!

Hang a new mirror

A new look is one hammer and nail away. It's easy to find a wide selection of affordable bathroom mirrors online or at your local home improvement store.

Update the lighting

Choosing new lighting fixtures is another great way to upgrade your bathroom and can help you improve the quality of your light, too. Unless you are experienced working with electricity, this is a project you'll probably want an electrician to help you complete, rather than doing it yourself.

Install new window treatments

New curtains, blinds, shades, or shutters can refresh the look of your bathroom and let in natural light while maintaining your privacy. You can also apply decorative film directly to the window's glass. Window film is an easy way to upgrade the look of your bathroom to increase your privacy.

Add accent tiles or a backsplash

Adding an accent tile or backsplash is a good DIY project for handy homeowners. You can install these over your sink, around your bathroom mirror, and other places.

Repaint your walls

Tiles can be hard to replace, but walls are easy to repaint and can make a great DIY weekend project. For a big change, consider painting an accent wall in a bold color. Learn more about how to choose paint colors.

Refinish your cabinets

Refinishing or repainting vanities, cabinets, and other woodwork are excellent ways to refresh the look of your bathroom. You can keep the colors the same and refresh the finish, or you can choose a new color to make a bigger impact.

Add more storage

There are many easy ways to add storage space to your bathroom. Hang new shelves, pegs, hooks, and towel ladders. Get a free-standing cart or cabinet. Buy decorative bins and baskets. Use trays and caddies to organize your toiletries and keep your counters clear. Bigger jobs include upgrading to a new medicine cabinet or a vanity that has more storage space.
