Decorating the bathroom on a budget

Create a beautiful bathroom without wrecking your budget.


August 6, 2007

Decorating a bathroom can be a challenge, especially on a budget. However, it is possible to get the look that you want when decorating your bathroom as long as you use a little creativity.

Color
An easy and cheap decorating idea for a bathroom is to simply paint the walls. It is such a small space that you can take risks with the paint and not worry about wasting too much money. For example, if you want to try a bold, vibrant color for decorating the bathroom, go for it. You can always paint over it if it does not work out. Also, the bathroom is a good place to try a special painting technique for decorating. You can sponge paint, try stenciling, or use faux painting to create a unique look for your bathroom.

Hardware
Changing the hardware in the bathroom is another economical decorating idea. There are not that many cabinets and drawers in the bathroom so you can easily replace the handles and pulls without a lot of cost. Also consider replacing the towel racks and toilet paper holder. This is inexpensive decorating idea that can really improve the look of your bathroom.

Faucet
You can also change the faucet on the bathroom sink. This is another cheap decorating idea that can be done pretty easily. There are so many choices to choose from at the home improvement stores. You can have a modern look, a retro look, an antique look – whatever works for the bathroom that you are decorating. 

Accessories
When decorating a bathroom, don’t forget the accessories. This includes the hand towels, rugs, and any pictures or shelving. It also can include the soap dispenser. Choose a theme for the bathroom, and find accessories that fit that theme when decorating. You may be surprised at how many choices that you have.
