How to Refresh Your Bathroom Without Renovation: 13 Ideas

Want to refresh a boring bathroom but don't want to go through renovation again? Just add a little creativity, and your bathroom will come alive with new colors.

We've selected 13 useful life hacks that will transform your ordinary bathroom into a cozy and beautiful corner.

1. Wall Accessories

Fill the empty wall above the toilet with open shelves or racks. These are great for storing towels, body care products, and toilet paper.

2. Storage on the Door

Attach simple hooks or fabric pouches to the door. Hang robes and towels on the hooks, and place combs and hairdryers in the pouches.

3. Kitchen Containers for Storage

Use kitchen accessories in the bathroom. For example, store cosmetics in cutlery trays and makeup brushes in a glass with grains.

4. Hooks and Shelves

It's a good idea to attach hooks and shelves inside the cabinet doors for various small items — this makes the bathroom more functional.

5. Cork Mat

Vinyl corks don’t have to be thrown away — they can be used to make a stylish and warm mat. All you need is to glue about 100 corks onto cardboard.

6. Leftover Wallpaper

Wallpaper the back wall of an old cabinet with leftover attractive wallpaper. This makes the unit look more compact and the interior more cheerful.

7. Bright Boxes

Attach regular boxes to a blank wall, painted in bright colors. Not only do they perfectly replace shelves, but they also create a positive atmosphere.

8. Rarely Used Items

To save space in the bathroom, mount a small shelf above the door with items you use rarely.

9. Hooks and Rope

Add a nautical theme to the room: hang small hooks on the wall instead of shelves and rope for towels.

10. Mirror Transformer

If you have a small bathroom in your apartment, equip it with a mirror-transformer. It can store toothpaste and a toothbrush.

11. Magnets

Attach magnets to cosmetic packaging and store them on a metal or magnetic board. Decorate it with pegs and invisible pins.

12. Hooks with Accessories

Mount hooks on the mirror and walls, then decorate them with jewelry, combs, and toys. You can hang shampoo, a washcloth, and gel on the shower rod using hooks.

13. Tile Wallpaper

Don't rush to throw away leftover tiles after renovation and use them to decorate part of the wall. This is a bold yet very creative solution for budget-friendly bathroom updates.
