Bathroom renovations can be daunting to think about. The thought of having to tear out, replace, and update plumbing fixtures is not something easy or cheap to do all at once. However, those projects aren’t all you can do to upgrade the space. Take a look at these 6 smart small bathroom renovation ideas that can completely transform the space on a budget.
New Floors
Whether you have tile from the 90s or old vinyl flooring that is now discoloured, having your flooring replaced can help more than just your bathroom looks. Your bathroom floor is especially prone to water and other bacteria. Installing the right flooring, that is waterproof and easy to clean, can make the space look great, and make it easy to manage.
Updated Hardware
Simply updating the hardware (think cupboard handles, faucets, and shower heads) can actually do more for the space than you think. This little update, which can be done DIY for very little expense, is a great small renovation job to tackle.
Most bathrooms are equipped with a small bathroom light for the entire room. Additional lighting, especially above your vanity, can help to brighten the space and make it more practical for everyday use. If you’re not sure where to begin, consult with an expert today.
New Plumbing Fixtures
If your plumbing fixtures are damaged in any way, this can include running water, leaks, or not functioning properly, it’s best to replace them completely. Leaving them damaged will only cost you more money down the line. If there’s no need to replace all of them, focus on the oldest, or most damaged one first. A quick upgrade of your toilet or sink is a great way to update the space. Plus, modern fixtures are built to last, with new technology to help you save.

Updating your vanity, if you have one, is a great way to make a useful change in your bathroom. If you don’t have one, think about adding one. Modern vanities are not only more aesthetically pleasing, but they are more functional. They can provide additional storage to keep any clutter off of the counter, leaving your space looking clean every day. Installing a new vanity is a best-value renovation, learn more about why here.

If your current bathroom is home to a petite tub, updating the tub is a small reno that can completely transform the look and functionality of your bathroom. You can swap it out for a new modern tub, a luxury shower, or even a shower and tub combo.
Fresh Paint
One of the fastest, and cheapest, ways to renovate your bathroom is through fresh paint. A change of colour or a fresh coat of the same can completely transform the space. Consider changing from a darker tone to a more bright one, and be sure to use proper paint that can withstand high humidity for long-lasting results. You can DIY this project, or hire a professional to tackle it for you. Either way, if you’re looking for a quick fix, this is it.
While every homeowner seeks a luxury model renovation, you don’t always need to pay a luxury price for the same results. A small change to your bathroom can increase the aesthetics and functionality of the space. Be sure to check out the HomeStars blog for more bathroom reno inspiration.
