Great ideas FOR BUDGET BATHROOMS

Clever tricks and mini decor projects to make your bathroom more beautiful even on the smallest of budgets

Go for an oversized mirror

The more natural light you can achieve in your bathroom, the better, making it much easier to apply your make-up and giving the whole space a more open and inviting feel. Choosing the biggest mirror you can fit on your wall will allow it to bounce the natural light around to more spots in the room, making the space feel bigger.

Add a splash of bright colour

Bringing in pops of colour with accessories is an affordable way to revamp your bathroom. Yellow works really well in a monochrome scheme so choose towels, bath mats and plant pots in this happy shade. Yellow not your colour? Try a teal, pale pink or even lilac!

Make a shelf display

Treat your bathroom just like you would any other room in the house and use shelving to show off your favourite pieces. Pop a wooden shelf up on the wall for a place to keep your prettier toiletries and smellies, and add a couple of houseplants that thrive in a bathroom environment. Finish with framed prints and collected treasures.
