From low cost to luxury – there are plenty of bathroom renovation options!
Updating your bathroom can transform a tired, dank little room into one of the best places to chill in your house. And the beauty is, it’s such a small room, you can renovate it for less than you might think! We’ve searched for inspiration throughout the web and here are some of the best ways to brighten up your bathroom in 2018, whether you’re thinking of selling your house or not.
Cheap tricks
If you’re just looking for a quick way to spruce things up without spending out on new fixtures and fittings, here are a few ideas to get you inspired.

Eclectic mixes of patterened tiles can bring a personal texture to a bathroom. But sourcing and finding tiles like in this picture is not something most of us have the time and inclination to do. Fortunately suppliers like VictoriaPlum.com can sell you strips of pre-assembled “patchwork” tiles.
Hexagonal AND patchwork! This looks great but it must have taken a lot of effort to get this perfect! Or did they find some preassembled tiles too?
Geometric herringbone floor tiles for that clean, Scandinavian look.
Investing a little more
Walk-in showers and wet room screens (like the type you can find in Sanctuary Bathrooms) can make your bathroom feel like a luxury hotel.
We liked this idea so much we pinned it in one of our Pinterest boards. You do follow us on Pinterest, don’t you? We’re obsessed with beautiful home style and interior decoration, as well as bathrooms! (And every other part of a house, to be fair.)
