Give your bathroom a fresh new look without spending a ton. These budget-friendly ideas are easy to tackle and actually make a difference.

Living in a temporary rental sounded kind of fun at first—this place has a projector, a foosball table, and even a Pac-Man machine.
For a while, it felt like a quirky little vacation. But after a few months, we began to miss the cozy, familiar things that make a place feel like home.
The hall bathroom was looking especially blah, so I gave my daughter’s space a quick and budget-friendly refresh—nothing fancy, just a new shower curtain and a few small touches that made a big difference.
If your bathroom could use a little love too, I’ve rounded up some affordable ideas to help it feel more like you.

Budget-Friendly Bathroom Refresh in a Rental
You can see what our bathroom looked like before just below. The difference a shower curtain and rug make to this entire space is quite remarkable!


Bathroom Towels
Replacing bathroom towels always feels like a little refresh.
One trick I love for keeping things organized is giving each bathroom its own towel color or style.
In our house, the light gray towels are reserved for the downstairs bathroom, while the dark gray ones are used in the upstairs bathroom.
It makes sorting laundry easier and keeps everything looking tidy.
These bathroom towels are a top pick for comfort, softness, and style!
