Renovating a bathroom is quite challenging, yet fun. When it’s done carefully, your bathroom will turn into a yeay! But when it’s not, it will end up being a nay! In this list, I’ll share less than a dozen renovation ideas that you should check first before beginning the refurbishment because thorough plans can help you get the best bathroom with the best price.
There we go, 10 Bathroom Renovation Ideas by simphome.com
10. Sliding Barn Door
If you have a tiny bathroom and you think that it is a real dead-end, think again! You can still make it as appealing as possible, even appear to be visually larger. To begin with, you can replace your classic swinging door with a sliding door.
A sliding door is more efficient and practical than its counterpart – the swinging door – when it comes to a compact bathroom because it glides along the track rather than swinging open.
Besides being space saving, it is also stylish. It will make your small bathroom look either more elegant or rustic depending on the material you are going to use.
9. Marble Countertop
A countertop plays a crucial role in every bathroom. It is the spot that every homeowner always sees the most when they brush their teeth, shave off their beard, or even remove their make-up. Therefore, replacing an old counter-top will be your next advice.
One of the best countertops that you can rely on is a marble countertop. Comparing to a wooden countertop that is susceptible to water damage and a tile countertop that tends to trap gunk in its grout lines, marble countertop is way durable, clean, sleek, and long-lasting, not to mention the natural “vein” that will make your bathroom vanity look classy.
8.Add Copper Accents for More Stylish bathroom
The industrial look of the steampunk style is exceptionally groovy. If you fancy this style, but don’t want to be too exaggerate, you can add some copper accents to your bathroom.
These two pendant lights are quite noticeable. And thus, hanging them over the vanity can improve its look without overlapping the vanity.
To bring more harmony, you can also replace or simply repaint the cabinet pulls with copper finish.
7. A Simple yet Attractive Powder Room
Replace your old and bulky pedestal sink with a smaller and slimmer one to give a bit sized feeling just like this white sink hanging perfectly on the wall. The sink leaves more space beneath it which makes the powder room feel less cramped.
Since you will also have to remove the countertop, you need to replace it with something smaller, yet functional just like this round table. The tall and skinny leg enables you to have more space without having much trouble in putting your go-to hand soap or make-up remover on it.
You can also add a more personal touch by lying a classic rug on the floor. It helps you lend a bit nuance to the powder room. You should try it!
6. Recycling and saving.
Renovating a bathroom can be thrilling so it’s totally normal if you feel all hyped-up. However, the problem lies in the budget. This renovating project should be making your bathroom look more invigorating, not burning a hole in your pocket.
Go find some old things around your home and recycle them and minimize your bathroom renovation budget.
This wooden vanity won’t make you broke as it is made of some leftover. It requires you to implement your carpentry skills, but the stunning result won’t let you down. You can have a pretty vanity as well as salting away some money.
5. Color It Up!
The most convenient and mainstream idea to eradicate your mundane bathroom is by changing the paint. Even if you don’t buy a new vanity or install some new tiles, your bathroom will look fresher and more beautiful with the new color. Besides, painting the wall with the color of your choice doesn’t require an advanced carpentry skill. Everybody can do it well, and thus it won’t cost you a fortune.

1.Ceiling Storage For Bed3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,840
Most are familiar with the Murphy bed,4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,370
which allows users to fold it against the wall when5
00:00:12,370 --> 00:00:14,540
it is not in use.6
00:00:14,540 --> 00:00:17,200
While this most definitely saves space,7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,420
having your bed on the ceiling will give you the8
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:22,200
maximum amount of square footage of your room.9
00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:26,380
Though its origins are from a French manufacturer,10
00:00:26,380 --> 00:00:28,740
the idea in place is essentially a pulley11
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:30,820
system for the mattress and frame.12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,560
Do not be intimidated by the notion,13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,680
as installation isn't nearly as complicated as it sounds,14
00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:41,260
with Ikea now dipping its toes into this forum.15
00:00:41,860 --> 00:00:42,800
Tip:16
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:45,340
If you decide this route is for you,17
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:47,900
use a preexisting frame by BedUp18
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:49,800
(or a similar competitor)19
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,860
that raises and lowers the mattress20
00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:53,920
but still gives you the freedom to determine21
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,520
sleeping height.22
00:00:56,020 --> 00:00:59,320
2. Compact Living Style Storage Bed23
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,080
by Yesul Jang24
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,860
Graduate Yesul Jang was the original mind25
00:01:03,860 --> 00:01:05,720
behind the millennial bed that is raised to26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,680
waist level so items like dorm room accessories27
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,760
can all fit underneath,28
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,960
as sort of a makeshift29
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:13,880
bunk bed of practicality.30
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:15,600
Additionally,31
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,760
a fabric curtain can cover your belongings32
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,740
so that they are not in view at33
00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:20,120
all times.34
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,420
In using such a curtain, they are cheap35
00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:25,100
and quick to replace if they incur damage.36
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:28,900
Because statistically sleeping space and storage37
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:30,900
take up the most real estate in a dwelling,38
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,640
it is a natural blend to pair them in the39
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,300
same square footage.40
00:01:36,020 --> 00:01:39,820
3. A DIY Hidden Roll Out Bed41
00:01:39,820 --> 00:01:42,560
Rearranging furniture is enough to give anyone42
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,980
a headache, and never is this more true than43
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,460
shifting beds.44
00:01:47,460 --> 00:01:50,340
Their cumbersome size and stature will45
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:52,180
make you tear your hair out,46
00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:54,520
but fresh ideas have come to fruition47
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,160
on how to make hiding them48
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,020
more practical.49
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:00,780
One such solution is an accordion style panel50
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:02,770
of wooden strips that are each connected by51
00:02:02,770 --> 00:02:05,060
hinges on both ends.52
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:07,800
In essence, the platform folds into a drawer,53
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,600
with one piece of wood folding on top of another54
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,040
as if you are stacking them.55
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,980
When the drawer is pulled out,56
00:02:14,980 --> 00:02:16,820
the wooden frame of the bed pulls flat,57
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:18,280
with the hinges flush.58
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,700
making a level surface for the mattress.

be brought to life.11
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,760
The wood components include a top sized appropriately12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,940
at 14" by 18," along with a bottom 13.25"13
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:36,560
by 18."14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,520
With a front and back measuring15

6.75" X 16.5"16
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:43,210

nightstand that has the ideal width for one drawer.18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,220
The length houses a lamp and clock19
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:53,260
without looking cluttered or distracting.20
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,540
2. Moebe Large Shelving System21
00:00:57,540 --> 00:00:59,940
If you do not have the skills and patience22
00:00:59,940 --> 00:01:02,000
with a set of tools, and would prefer to keep23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,360
your large living areas organized,24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,040
the Moebe large shelving format is prudent.25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,200
Capable of taking up an entire wall,26
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,200
the system utilizes wooden wedges27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,460
to keep shelves from28
00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:14,980
moving.29
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:17,400
Rounded steel uprights connect to the shelves30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,140
in seconds by being placed through the pre-drilled31
00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:21,360
holes.32
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,140
Black stained ash wood and oiled oak33
00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:28,280
offer two diverse palettes to blend in to any setting.34
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,980
The Moebe approach is the most painless experience35
00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:34,860
possible start to finish to consolidate messy36
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:38,260
rooms fluidly without brackets, glues37
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:41,060
and other frustrating elements that slow you down.38

3. Flexible Shelving System from Benjamin Hubert39
00:01:47,070 --> 00:01:49,280
Differing from the Moebe shelving system is40
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,420
the Benjamin Hubert inspired flexible alternative41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,540
known as 'Shift.'42
00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:57,220
The idea behind its foundation is derived43
00:01:57,220 --> 00:01:59,700
from retail outlets, who are in frequent need44
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:02,060
of swapping out their displays.45
00:02:02,060 --> 00:02:04,180
The genius of the setup is that magnetic46
00:02:04,180 --> 00:02:07,440
panels are mounted to the wall, with shelves having47
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,960
the capability to be moved at the drop of a hat.48
00:02:12,060 --> 00:02:14,280
This process can be done at home, by lining49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,820
each shelf with a magnet on the bracket that50
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:19,540
will hold it in place on the panels.51
00:02:19,540 --> 00:02:22,040
With both the base and shelf boards connecting52
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,880
by these magnets, changing the style and appearance53
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,510
of the furniture can be accomplished in seconds.54
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,020

4. The Power of covering Up
Is your bathtub discoloring? You might think that you need to replace it soon and begin to stroll at a home improvement store to find a better one. Don’t be so rush! You can get the bathtub that you have always wanted for less than 30 bucks.
Repainting the bathtub is the key. But how do we do that? Here are the steps.
First, cut away old caulk using a putty knife. Next, remove the drain cover. Cover the wall, floor, and faucets using painter’s tape and masking paper to protect them from the mess.
Scrub the tub with heavy-duty cleaner again.
After that, rinse it. Let it dry before beginning to scrub it using 150-grit sandpaper. Now, you can begin painting the tub using acrylic latex spray. Let the paint sit for about 6 hours before covering it with epoxy spray paint. And lastly Wait for at least 8 hours before using the bathtub.
3. Consider Installing Prefabricated Shower and Tub
Many people think that they should replace their old shower unit or bathtub for a better bath time. If you think so, just do it! But if a tight budget is the real issue here, try getting a prefabricated shower unit rather than having a tiled one made.
Prefab shower unit is much cheaper than the tiled one. The easy and fast installation also surpasses its counterparts, making it the best choice for those who want to do a bathroom makeover on a budget.
2. Details Are Important
Pay attention to every single detail is a must. If you aren’t likely to have a full tear-down due to the tight budget and limited time, you can solely change some small items such as the drawer pulls, faucet, handles, towel holders, and many others. They are small, but indispensable. And thus, they can make a huge impact despite the size.
1. Play with The Tiles
The last, but not least, you can remove some tiles and replace them with some new ones with different colors. The obvious contrast between the white, green, and blue tiles adds more accent to the wall, and it won’t make you short on cash.
That’s all the 10 bathroom renovation ideas that you should try. I think they fit any bathroom type and size, and the most important thing is they fit any budget.
I hope you find this list useful.
