9 Small Bathroom Renovation Ideas on a Budget


You are tired of the decor of your small bathroom, and you feel like it’s time for a change. But where should you start?

While it might not be possible to enlarge your small bathroom, with some creativity, your renovation can make it appear larger than it is, all while saving some space.

Do you need some inspiration as you plan your remodelling project? Check out these nine small bathroom renovation ideas on a budget:

Idea #1: Make bathroom feel larger with light colours

White can make a room feel larger than it is. The same sentiment applies to most light colours. On the other hand, dark colours will make any room look smaller.

Equipped with this knowledge, you can choose wall paint, tiles, cabinets, a vanity, a toilet, a tub, or even a shower curtain. These light colours will help your small bathroom look more spacious and airy.

Idea #2: Get creative with bathroom tiles

If you have been thinking about installing tiles in your bathroom, don’t hesitate to get creative. You could use different types of tiles on the walls, on the floor, and in the shower, as long as these tiles work well together.

You could, for example, choose two sizes of white tiles in different shapes. You could also combine white tiles and black tiles for a dramatic look. Marble tiles, mosaic tiles, and honeycomb tiles are wonderful small bathroom renovation ideas.

Idea #3: Install built-in shelves in your bathroom walls

If you are ready to completely remodel your bathroom, you could plan to install built-in shelves in your walls or even in your shower.

Built-in shelves allow you to store all your toiletries and other bathroom essentials without the need to hang shelves on the walls or add a cabinet in the room. Plus, if you cover them in tiles, they will be very easy to clean.

Idea #4: Add some visual appeal to the bathroom with wainscoting

Maybe you have never heard the word wainscoting, but you have surely already seen wainscoting. It is simply a wall covering that can insulate a room or give it some outstanding visual appeal.

Wainscoting can cover entire walls, or only the lower portion of the walls, depending on the style you are going for.

Although wainscoting panels come in various materials, wood is an excellent choice for a bathroom since it can withstand moisture and water spills.

Idea #5: Get a wall-hung toilet to save some space

If you want to save some floor space, consider getting a wall-hung toilet. These toilets look very stylish because their tank is hidden inside the wall, and their base doesn’t touch the floor.

If you are about to upgrade your bathroom’s plumbing, the time might be right for a modern wall-hung toilet. Contact a plumber to ensure this toilet is installed properly.

Idea #6: Get an open shower with no curtain

A shower doesn’t require a door or a curtain. If you don’t want your small bathroom to be visually divided by a shower curtain or shower enclosure, you could opt for an open shower.

However, a walk-in shower might not be a good option for a very tiny bathroom. But if you have enough space so that the water flowing from your shower head doesn’t splash all over the floor and the room’s walls, it could be a great idea.

Be sure to have your open shower installed by a professional, as you will need a well-positioned, large drain as well as a sloping tiled floor.

Idea #7: Save some counter space with a wall-mounted faucet

While you are upgrading your plumbing fixtures, you could also consider a wall-mounted faucet. Instead of being connected to your vanity or your sink, it will be attached to the wall and hang above the sink.

This small bathroom renovation idea would help you save some counter space. It would also make a very stylish statement in your renovated bathroom.

Idea #8: Transform a small cabinet into a beautiful vanity

Vanities can take up a lot of space in a bathroom. However, you can opt for an elegant vessel sink, which sits on top of the vanity instead of being mounted underneath it.

With this small renovation idea, you can turn any small cabinet, or even a small table, into a vanity. Doing this will help you save some space, and it will give you a truly unique vanity that will fit your tastes and your requirements.

Idea #9: Add glamourous accents with gold or brass fixtures

For a glamourous final touch to your bathroom renovation, you could get matching plumbing, lighting, and cabinet fixtures in gold, brass, copper, or chrome.

Whether you are opting for a minimalist, modern, Scandinavian, nautical, or farmhouse style, your metallic fixtures will unify the look of your bathroom and complete your decor.
