3. New Vanity and Sink
4. Chic Lighting
Whether you want to add more drama with a large vanity, or free up some space by switching to a sleeker sink design, you can easily accomplish this major transformation in a weekend! You can even turn a handsome dresser into a vanity, and still have time to fully install it! Make sure you pay attention to the drawer pulls, choose attractive hardware for the best look. If you have built-in cabinetry, you can fake this makeover by repainting them and adding new hardware.
Make your bathroom’s lighting a part of the decor, switch out your boring light fixtures for attractive pendant lights or statement sconces. You can really enhance your bathroom’s decor by installing an overhead chandelier! The Savvy Stager on Hometalk

9. Decorate the Walls Don’t let your bathroom’s walls go to waste! This weekend, hang up some attractive shelving or wall art to make your washroom feel as decorated and complete as the rest of your home. Mirrors are particularly great bathroom decor because they create the illusion of more space! Texas Home and Garden on Hometalk

6. Refresh the Tub
Beadboarding is a great way to dress up a bathroom and create an airy, spacious feel. Beadboarding is easy to install yourself, or you could opt for faux beadboard by using wallpaper instead!
While replacing your tub all together could take several weeks, a tub facelift will just take a day and a half. For a built-in tub, you can add tiling to the outside, or even woodwork, for a more refined look. If you opt for easy-to-use stick on tiles, your tub makeover will only take you a few hours!

7. Fresh New Paint
Bright bathroom.
The easiest and most impactful change you can make to your bathroom is to repaint the walls or add wallpaper. Go for a bold colour, or edgy geometric designs. Even simple furnishings will look stylish when standing against a highly designed, bold wall. You can even include the ceiling in your repaint job for extra visual interest.
10. Glass Shower Door Glass walls and shower doors will give your entire bathroom a designer feel, while also creating the illusion of more space. Glass doors are easy to clean, and will never go out of style. Looking for more great bathroom design ideas? You’ll find all kinds of creative upgrade and remodelling projects on Hometalk.
