budget-friendly updates for the bath

Of all the rooms I work on for my e-clients, the bath is the one I surprisingly get a lot of questions about.  Many think they have to do a complete haul to update their bath if it’s too small or they don’t like the current tile and in many cases, renters want some options that aren’t permanent, as well.  While paint, some new accessories and artwork can go a long way in freshening up a bathroom, there are quite a few other options that I turn to time and time again that can help transform a blah bath into a beautiful retreat!

A brand new light fixture is a must and it’s a relatively easy update!  I’m obsessed with glass cylinder sconces lately, especially hung above a chrome framed pivoting mirror.  Another trick I absolutely LOVE is hanging a pair of curtain panels from a second shower curtain rod and placed all the way to the ceiling (the panels hit the floor) to add drama and height (see my original post on this here).  A new faucet is another easy swap and there are so many affordable options; the one below looks way more expensive than it is and is so beautiful in person! (I have it in our guest bath upstairs and LOVE it!)

I try to add texture any chance I get and an oversize basket is a great way to add some warmth while adding storage for toilet paper or extra towels.  A marble tray to corral perfumes, makeup and daily beauty items makes a space feel pulled together and a small space less chaotic.

Here are a few of my picks for updating a bathroom without blowing your budget:

Mirror / Rattan and acrylic bath accessories / Glass canisters / Faucet / Basket / Marble tray / Glass sconce / Candle / Hand soap / Resin coral /
