6 Ways to Upgrade Your Bathroom Look Without Breaking the Bank
We have collected some great ideas to help you upgrade your bathroom to make it more attractive, without costing you a fortune. Here are some tips from real estate experts on how to upgrade your bathroom to make it look sleek and expensive, without breaking the bank.
Declutter and Go Minimalist
Minimalist decor and decreased clutter is a great way to make your bathroom look more expensive. It gives a feeling of space and cleanliness.
“Declutter – just like in any other room, clutter will cheapen the look of a bathroom. How many half-empty bottles of body wash or shampoo does anyone really need out and in view? Keeping the sink-top clear and the bathtub/shower stocked with only the necessities is a great way to declutter. If the bathroom looks cleaner and less busy, it elevates the whole look.” — Steve Gottlieb, agent for Warburg Realty
Therefore, organise all bathroom contents in drawers and discard old or unnecessary items that detract from the appearance of your bathroom.
If your bathroom is dark and has few to no windows, adding fresh-cut flowers with a fresh scent helps create a luxurious atmosphere. Keep in mind that your bathroom should appear clean, fresh, and airy.

Replace Your Shower Curtain with Glass
Replacing your old shower curtain with glass doors will make your entire bathroom appear renovated. Such doors come in all shapes and sizes.


Change the Hardware, Tiles and Fixtures
When replacing bathroom hardware, plain and spotless chrome finishes are less expensive and last longer than satin nickel and antique brasses. Porcelain tiles will help you save money.
White subway tiles can provide a marble-like appearance, while porcelain tiles can create a natural stone appearance that will improve the bathroom look.
However if such a renovation is outside of your budget, updating accessories such as hand towel rings, medicine chests, and towel rods, among others, will go a long way to help brighten the appearance of your bathroom at minimal cost.
Use a light colour paint to complement and complete the overall look.
