Redecorate Your Bathroom for Less Than $100

In Just One Day

V. L. Hamlin
Is your bathroom a little blah? Don't have the time or money to fully redesign the whole room? Redecorate it! In just one day you can redecorate your entire bathroom and if you follow the steps below it will cost you less than $100 to do it!

Step One: Clean

Clean everything out of the bathroom. Remove all curtains, shower curtains and shelving. I recommend placing everything inside a Rubbermaid tote or maybe a laundry basket. Then just set it in another room for now.

Step Two: Wash the Walls

Wipe the walls with a wash cloth, just use regular soap and water. Make sure you get all the corners and the ceiling as well.

Step Three: Tape the Edges

Tape the edges of anything that can't be removed from the room. For example, the bathtub, toilet, mirror and sink. You don't want to get paint all over them when you are painting the walls.

Step Four: Paint

First paint the ceiling with your chosen paint, then do the walls. If you do this first thing in the morning, it should be dry by evening.

Step Five: Decorate

Here comes the fun part! You will need the following items to redecorate your bathroom:

Curtain (if you are lucky enough to have a window in your bathroom)

Shower Curtain

Accessories; toothbrush holder, soap dispenser, tissue box, soap dish

Bath Mat

Shelves

Towel Holder

Guest Towels

Toilet Paper Holder

Install the shelving first, then the window curtain rods and finally the toilet paper holder and towel rack. Sometimes you will end up with dust from the sheetrock and you really don't want this all over your new décor! Hang the window and shower curtains next. I recommend using a spring loaded shower curtain rod, that way, you don't have to put more holes in your wall and it's simple to take down when you need to change your shower curtain! When you are finished placing all of your new accessories, bring in your basket of necessities! Put everything back where it belongs and hang your towels. You are done!
