Bathroom makeovers don’t have to break the bank. With some strategic DIY projects, you can transform your bathroom for under $500 in a single weekend.

First, paint the walls. A fresh coat of paint in a bright, clean color like light blue or pale gray can make a bathroom feel brand new. For small bathrooms, stick to lighter shades which create an open, airy feel. Buy a high-quality paint and primer in one, which typically costs between $30 to $50 per gallon.

Next, replace the lighting fixtures. New lighting is one of the easiest ways to upgrade a space. Swap out outdated fixtures for more stylish ones with clean lines. Look for waterproof fixtures rated for bathroom use. Simple globe lights, sconces or recessed lighting around $30 to $50 each will make a big impact.

Then, install new cabinet hardware. Replacing knobs and pulls is an inexpensive project that yields major results. Sleek, brushed metal hardware in a satin nickel or matte black finish will give cabinets a modern facelift for $30 or less.

You’ll also want to declutter and reorganize. Remove anything you do not need or use in your bathroom. Put items you want to keep in matching boxes or baskets to keep surfaces clear. Add a few plants, candles or decorative accents to finish the look.

If your budget allows, you may want to replace outdated faucets. A single-handle brushed nickel faucet will make a bathroom look more upscale. Look for a high-quality faucet for around $100 to $200.

Finally, add extras like a bath mat, shower curtain, towel bars or a vanity tray. Little touches like these complete the room and turn it into a relaxing retreat. With some do-it-yourself magic and a few key additions, you can craft a bathroom makeover for under $500 in just one weekend. Your refreshed space will look like a million bucks.
