Budget-Friendly Bathroom Update with Developer Finish

Home stager Julia Petrova created a stylish monochrome interior in her 63 sq. m. euro-flat. To save budget, she kept the developer's finish in the separate bathroom. The setup was transformed using graphic accents and furniture.

The tile joints were updated with special black paint to make them look better. The bathroom area is 2.9 sq. m. It includes a bathtub, washing machine, and sink. Near the washing machine, a laundry basket was placed with a stone countertop above it. This convenient and functional solution created both a niche for the machine and a storage surface.

The sink, vanity unit, and mixer were bought at IKEA. The vanity has a slide-out drawer and an open shelf where Julia stores towels. All storage accessories, the shelf, mixers, and hardware were chosen in a black accent color to match the grout color and create a stylish graphic highlight.

A mirror cabinet was hung above the sink. One unit combines a mirror and shelves for storing hygiene products and cosmetics. The lighting above the mirror makes the interior more intimate and cozy.

The screen under the bathtub was made from blinds doors. It is easy to remove and provides quick access to utilities. A footrest was left under the screen for comfortable and safe use of the bathtub.

The wall behind the toilet in the toilet was decorated with self-adhesive film featuring a graphic black-and-white design — this makes the interior look more interesting and expressive. The original sink was replaced with a more attractive model, and a mirror was hung above it.
