After doing the hard work in whole day, you just need to come home and relax in your bathtub. You want to wash away the tiredness of the day. But, if your bathroom is not up to date, none of it will be possible. That is why you might want to spruce up your bathroom space to make it more modern and spa-like. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to make it look luxurious. All you need is a good strategy and the willingness to make it work.

You don’t have to lift a hammer to refresh a bath with luxe look-for-less upgrades. New window treatments, rugs, and towels can give a room a fresh look at a fraction of the cost of a major remodel. Backing a storage bin with colorful paper and wrapping a stack of towels in wide ribbons are easy DIY projects for an instant makeover.

What Shade To Pick?

Paint is one of the easiest and most affordable budget bathroom ideas. For an elegant two-tone effect, tape off the top third of the wall and apply a band of darker color to the lower portion. This creates an appealing visual frame for the mirror and ties the shower and vanity area together. Choose moisture- and steam-resistant paint that is washable, quick-drying, and will resist mold.

Let There Be Light:

Replacing light fixtures is another simple and cost-effective way to improve a bath. Opt for recessed or flush-mount lighting that suits your style and offers better illumination than sconces or ceiling fixtures. You’ll also want to change the bulb type and shade to match your new fixture.

Taps & Stuffs:

If your bathroom fittings — taps and showerheads, in particular — are looking a little tired, it might be time for an upgrade. Black finishes are bang on trend and will take years off an older bathroom, while shiny gold or bronze options provide a classic, warm touch.

• A large rainfall showerhead is another quick and easy way to upgrade a bath. It provides a spa-like experience and makes the room feel more spacious.
• Swapping out the faucets for an opulent finish like brass is another bathroom idea that will instantly give your space a high-end look for less. It’s important to keep in mind that brass can quickly turn dingy, so you’ll need to maintain it regularly.

Mirror Mirror On The Wall:

Adding a framed mirror to a powder room is an easy DIY project that adds a touch of luxury for less. A plain beveled-glass mirror can easily be transformed with a wood frame and inexpensive tile.

Flooring:

If you love the look of hardwood floors but don’t want to spend a fortune replacing your bathroom flooring, consider an alternative water-resistant floor covering such as vinyl tile or laminate flooring. Ask your contractor more about water proofing membrane and how your bathroom can benefit from modern waterproofing solutions. Modern innovations such as luxury vinyl tile and plank vinyl offer an array of styles that rival authentic stone, including travertine and marble.

Bling Bling:

To add a final touch of elegance, hang a chandelier that coordinates with your decor. You could even try a ceiling-mount fixture in a more elaborate shape that will add drama and a focal point to your bath.
