How To Make Your Bathroom Look More Expensive

The bathroom is the second most expensive room to renovate (after the kitchen) in the home. But you don’t need to tear apart your whole bathroom to make the space feel luxe. No, no. While installing a new vanity, or a new shower can help, they don’t automatically mean a good bathroom. Plus, if you are renting then renovation is not even in the picture. So, we will show you how to create a beautiful bathroom on a budget and without any major remodeling.

#Declutter

Clutter spaces make your whole home look cheap. That’s why a super easy and practically free solution is to declutter. Get rid of old shampoo bottles, expired makeup, and dirty towels. Make space and organize your products. This gives a sense of organization and makes the room feel nice and clean. Less is more here!

#New Fixtures

Changing out old fixtures for new ones really makes a difference. You can bring a whole new aesthetic to your bathroom by changing out the fixtures. Designers recommend steering clear of more trendy finishes, as they can be quite expensive and hard to maintain. Simple and clean finishes from chrome still look amazing and last longer.
