Great ideas FOR BUDGET BATHROOMS

Clever tricks and mini decor projects to make your bathroom more beautiful even on the smallest of budgets

Go for an oversized mirror

The more natural light you can achieve in your bathroom, the better, making it much easier to apply your make-up and giving the whole space a more open and inviting feel. Choosing the biggest mirror you can fit on your wall will allow it to bounce the natural light around to more spots in the room, making the space feel bigger.

Add a splash of bright colour

Bringing in pops of colour with accessories is an affordable way to revamp your bathroom. Yellow works really well in a monochrome scheme so choose towels, bath mats and plant pots in this happy shade. Yellow not your colour? Try a teal, pale pink or even lilac!

Bring in accents of on-trend matt black

Adding in touches of black is a smart way to pack a punch as it will pop against the background. Swap out tired taps and rusty radiators and replace with modern, matt black options instead.

Upcycle a vanity unit

Create a focal piece that will impress by upcycling an old table or cabinet into a cool washstand or vanity unit. It’s surprisingly easy and you’ll be producing something truly unique that expresses your style. Use it to hide away bathroom clutter.

Double up on bathroom storage

Fit tall cabinets either side of a vanity unit in a bathroom. Not only will they frame the unit nicely, but they’ll provide lots of extra storage. These cabinets started life as simple Ikea bookcases but have been given a smart lick of paint and fluted film, to hide away what’s inside.
