The summer is over, which means the winter months are coming up. 

Winter is generally a busy time for families and ends up being a pricey period of the year with Christmas, Halloween, and Bonfire Night falling into this timeframe. 

If you are looking to give your bathroom a makeover in time for the new year then we have the guide for you!

Read on to find our top ways to change up your bathroom without breaking the bank in the process.

Upcycle and reuse!

As consumers, we are becoming more and more aware of the impact our spending and buying habits are having on our environment. 

Reusing and upcycling older pieces of furniture and accessories in your bathroom is a great and affordable way to update your living space. 

On a yearly basis, the U.K alone emits a total of 836 thousand metric tonnes of CO2 through manufacturing furniture.

Speak with friends and family and see if they have any old items, they’re looking to get rid of. That old mirror or rustic cabinet could be just the unique touch your bathroom needs. Another person's trash is another’s treasure! 

Durability over convenience

Quality is an important design feature to have in mind when designing any part of your house. Opting for high-quality tiles may seem like a larger upfront investment, but the durability they offer pays off. 

In the long-term choosing high quality tiles means less headaches in the future as you are guaranteed for them to last a long time.  

Our porcelain range fits the job perfectly ….    

Include plants in your bathroom

Plants have become a go to for many when designing homes. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, plants contribute to a healthier indoor environment. 

They offer vibrant colours if your bathroom has a good source of natural light as the light reflects off the leaves. Choosing plants with larger leaves allows more light to be reflected!

Opting for plants will more than likely have people leaving comments as it is a very unique to any indoor space. 

Plants are also highly affordable for those on a budget. You can even plant seeds if you want to take it a step further. 

We hope this guide has been informative for you.

Creative DIY Projects

DIY projects have been the talk of the town lately. From handmade soap dispensers to personalized towel racks, these projects add a personal touch to your space. Also, they save you money to a great extent.  

So, wait what??? Look for online tutorials and get inspired to create unique and functional bathroom accessories that reflect your style. 

Smart Storage Solutions

You can enhance the functionality of your bathroom by utilizing smart storage organizers. Consider installing floating shelves or wall-mounted cabinets to optimize vertical space.  

Moreover, use baskets or decorative containers for organizing toiletries, towels, and other essentials. 

This way, you can not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also keep your bathroom clutter-free. 

Budget-Friendly Fixtures and Hardware

Expensive items may not always be the best option. They are sometimes just a waste of your hard-earned money. 

Therefore, you must consider replacing faucet handles, showerheads, and cabinet pulls with more modern, budget-friendly options.  

This simple change can make a significant impact on the aesthetic of your bathroom. And of course, on your pocket too!!! 

Paint Magic

A fresh coat of paint gives your bathroom a quick and affordable facelift. Choose light, neutral colors to create an illusion of a larger space.

Additionally, experiment with accent walls or stencils for added visual interest. There is a variety of options available in the market.  

Besides, paint is a cost-effective way to transform the atmosphere of your bathroom, breathing new life into the existing decor. 

Thrift Stores

Local thrift stores or online marketplaces are one of the best ways to makeover your bathroom cost-effectively. You might find unique mirrors, vintage lighting fixtures, or charming storage organizers at very minimal rates.  

Thrift store treasures not only add value but also contribute to sustainable living. 

Energy-Efficient Lighting

Saving energy is a wise decision and need of the hour. In this regard, LED bulbs consume less energy, last longer, and are available in various color temperatures to suit your preferences.  

Also, such lighting not only reduces electricity costs but also adds a modern touch to your bathroom. 

Repurpose Old Furniture

Think outside the box and repurpose old furniture for functional bathroom elements. An old wooden ladder can become a trendy towel rack. While an antique dresser can be transformed into a stylish vanity.  

Furthermore, these repurposed pieces not only add character but also save you money on purchasing new items. 

Statement Mirror

A statement mirror may serve as a focal point in your bathroom. A well-chosen mirror can upgrade the entire space, making it appear larger and more stylish.  

So, go for budget-friendly options with unique frames or shapes to add personality to your bathroom without breaking the bank. 

Efficient Plumbing

Small plumbing accessories can make a big impact on both aesthetics and functionality. 

Replace outdated outlets with modern, water-efficient models. Fix any leaks promptly to prevent water wastage.  

These updates improve the efficiency of your bathroom and contribute to long-term cost savings.
