If you’ve ever wanted to douse an outdated bathroom in gasoline and toss in a lighted match, believe me, you’re not alone. But there’s an easier solution. It won’t cure grimy grout or replace the avocado green toilet, but it will help to give your bathroom enough of a face lift to make you feel that there’s life in the old room yet. Give your bathroom a cheap bathroom upgrade that will make it more liveable, without making major changes.
The decorating gurus always begin with a fresh coat of paint. Nothing will revive a tired room quicker. But don’t discount the small touches that can be accomplished with only a few dollars and a modest investment of time. For example, you can give bathroom cabinets a whole new look with just a change of hardware.
The décor accessories you choose should be in colours that make you happy so that every time you walk into the room, you get enjoyment from looking at them. Naturally, you will also want them
to coordinate nicely with the wall colouring and permanent fixtures.
Avoid a cluttered look by keeping the number of things you store on your countertops and shelves to a minimum. This is especially important if your bathroom is a small one.

Upgrade With Candles
Supplies Used and Recommendations:
Dollar stores get in a variety of attractive candles seasonally. Some are almost too lovely to burn, which is just fine when all you want are great-looking accents.
Upgrade with Florals
It’s easy to add a bit of greenery or other floral to an empty corner. Dried flowers in a small jug make a statement without being overpowering.
Upgrade with Art
Art, as with anything else, is all a matter of individual taste, but you can find some really nice canvas art at the dollar store. Or make your own art.
There are so many things you can do with dollar store frames. The above is an example of what can be done with pressed flowers.
With a few dollars, hope in your heart and the spirit of adventure, you can restore some of your bathroom’s former comfort and add immeasurably to your own well-being.
