As you all know, earlier this year we started our long awaited project of renovating both of our bathrooms. Five months later and things haven’t gone to plan and I can’t help but think that maybe we would have been better off (both financially and in terms of our stress levels!) to give our existing bathrooms a makeover instead! I didn’t realise but there are so many ways you can revamp an existing bathroom without it having to break the bank, and I thought I would share those with you!

Paint your tiles

If your bathroom is looking a little dated it can often be down to old fashioned tiles, I know ours was! And whist buying new tiles and paying a tiler can be costly, with the help of a low cost tile paint you can completely change the look of your bathroom.

An alternative to tile paint is to install PVC shower panels, which can provide a modern and stylish look to your bathroom. They are an excellent option to cover up dated and unappealing tiles while adding a sleek, waterproof, and easy-to-maintain surface to your shower area. Moreover, you may not have to break the bank to give your bathroom a fresh and modern look. They come in various colours, finishes, and styles, so you can choose the perfect one to match your bathroom decor.

Splurge on a feature piece

I have always loved the idea that, to change the feel of a room and add a little luxury to it, if you pick out just one splurge item you can achieve a high end look on a low end budget. Whether that’s choosing a free standing bath tub, a designer radiator, stylish accessories or a shiny new shower, it’s a great way to stretch the budget.

Switch up your lighting

Lighting is so important in a room and often a feature that is over looked. Changing your lighting to spot lights to add a modern feel, or a dramatic pendant light fitting to add a little bling, is a simple way to create the right ambience for your bathroom.

Add a pop of colour

Adding colour to a room is the perfect way to give a room a makeover without having to change any of the fixtures and fittings. Adding coloured towels and accessories can make a huge difference and the best part is that you aren’t tied in to a colour scheme you may tire of in the future. I love blush pinks and pale greys for a homely but stylish feel.

Change your flooring

Changing your flooring can be a really simple way to change the whole feel of your bathroom. I love real wood flooring and we have it throughout our entire downstairs living area. It’s so easy to keep clean, especially with kids and a dog, and with fluffy bath mats it’s perfect for the kids whilst still being non-slip.

Who knew it was so easy to switch up your bathroom? Now if only someone had shared that with me before we had both of ours ripped out….
