Your bathroom is one of the most important spaces in your home, but it’s also one of the most neglected. This is likely because homeowners tend to spend more money upgrading social spaces or the areas that guests are likely to spend a lot of time in. As a result, they don’t often budget for bathroom renovations too.

However, there are plenty of simple (and cost-effective) ways to upgrade your bathroom. Here are some great ideas to get you started!
- Keep it clean. The easiest way to spruce up your bathroom is to simply keep it clean and free from clutter. Thankfully, there are plenty of eco-friendly ways to clean your bathroom, making it look good as new. For example, you can make your own bathroom cleaning products that help you break down the build-up of mold and mildew.
- Change the showerhead. If you’re less of a bath person and prefer a shower to wake yourself up in the morning, then a shower upgrade is necessary. However, this doesn’t mean you need to replace the entire shower, as the issues you’re facing may be due to the showerhead itself. For example, if you are experiencing problems with water pressure, then the right showerhead can help to improve the flow of water considerably.

- Prioritize repairs. When giving your bathroom a makeover, it’s easy to focus on improving how the space looks. For example, you might want to replace the tiles in favour of a new design or shade. However, you should always prioritize repairs, especially if they could lead to issues further down the line. Remember, there are also some repairs that can save you money in the long run, especially if you deal with them sooner rather than later. While there are some tasks you can handle yourself, you should also make sure you hire the experts when it comes to more complicated tasks, such as plumbing, that require specialist support.
- Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. You do not need to overhaul the entire room in order to drastically change how the bathroom looks. In fact, the key to any home makeover actually lies in making small yet impactful changes through accessories and furnishings. For example, you could purchase a pillow for your bathtub so that you are able to relax and unwind in style. If you’re working on designing a home that works for the whole family, you should ensure everyone gets a say during this time.
Go for a splash of color. Adding a splash of color to your bathroom, be that through accessories such as towels and candles or through your tiles, is another simple yet effective way to transform the space. Furthemore, studies suggest that using bright colors when designing your home can also lift your mood. This means that they’re the perfect fit for your bathroom, especially if you want to start off your day with a positive mindset.
