It’s time we give the bathroom a little TLC. Yet, with a fixed vanity and all the complications of plumbing, it can be hard to figure out how to spruce up your loo on a budget. With that in mind, here are four easy DIYs to make your bathroom sparkle.

You might also consider adding a hotel-style towel bar to increase your towel storage, easily and elegantly. This is an especially helpful solution if your only available wall space is above the toilet, as the height of the fixture will help balance the area.

3. Change a Light Fixture
Adding a gorgeous light fixture in place of old strip lighting can totally transform your space, and it’s something you can likely do yourself.
Safety note: Make sure you use your breaker box to cut the power to your current fixture before removing it. Flipping the light switch off is not enough!

Trade a ceiling lamp for a chandelier to evoke images of decadent champagne bubble baths … even when you’re just dashing in to brush your teeth before work. Be careful not to overextend yourself on this one; you’ll likely need an electrician to help mount your new fixture.

4. Change Your Showerhead
There’s no reason to put up with an outdated, calcified showerhead, as replacing one is often as simple as unscrewing the old one and popping a new one on. This is a great opportunity to opt for a fixture that better suits your needs, such as adding a wand or installing a low-flow showerhead to conserve water.

It’s also a chance for an easy fix for tall folks who have to hunch to wash their hair. You can either add an extension yourself or hire a plumber to raise and remount the fixture. Work will take about a day, and you’ll need to think ahead about how you want to conceal the spot where the old fixture used to be.
