When I first stepped into my new apartment, I fell in love with the cozy charm of the place—except for one thing: the bathroom. It was small, outdated, and downright depressing.
The tile was cracked. The grout was stained. The mirror looked like it had survived three decades of bad decisions. And yet, every contractor I spoke to quoted me $3,000 to $5,000 just to “freshen things up.”
That’s when I made a decision:
🔨 “I’m going to renovate this bathroom myself—on a $500 budget.”
Spoiler alert: I did it. And it changed my life.
🔍 The Plan: Budget Bathroom Renovation Without Sacrificing Style
First, I sat down and made a list of what really needed to change:
-
Old vanity and mirror? Gone.
-
Peeling paint? Replaced with a brighter tone.
-
Dated light fixture? Upgraded.
-
Storage? Needed serious improvement.
I researched endlessly, watching YouTube tutorials, scrolling through Pinterest boards titled “Small Bathroom Makeovers on a Budget”, and reading reviews on every product I considered.
