Bathroom Decor on a Budget

bathroom decor on a budget

As one of the most used rooms in your home, it’s important that your bathroom feels like a relaxing retreat and not a drab utility space. If a full remodel isn’t in the cards, try some of these budget-friendly bathroom decor ideas to freshen up your space.

Make a big impact without breaking the bank with eye-catching tile. Opt for patterned subway tiles to add character and contrast against plain white surfaces, or opt for a textured tile that offers a more interesting texture and color, as seen in this bathroom by Hecker Guthrie. You can also opt for a natural accent, like a bundle of eucalyptus hanging in the shower, to give your bathroom a spa-like feel.

Even small changes can transform a bathroom from drab to fab. Choose a fun new color for the paint and add coordinating bath towels for an inexpensive upgrade. You can also bring in a pop of pattern by applying wallpaper to an accent wall for a quick refresh. Just be sure to use heat- and moisture-resistant paper so it can stand up to steam and wet showers.

If a wall is too expensive for a wallpaper, cover it with a decorative fabric that’s easy to clean and wipe down. You can find affordable options at fabric stores and on sites like Facebook Marketplace and HomeGoods. Another option is to raid a supermarket for cheap homeware items that can be pad out the vanity, such as pretty soap dispensers, cute ornamental features, air fresheners and toothbrush holders.
