Reinvent your small bathroom on a budget




I found a great way to turn your small bathroom into a polished, serene space.

To achieve this modern look, the owners used a color scheme of soft green, white and brown.




Total cost: $2,069










The serene, soft green paint visually expands the small room, and the white sink, towels, and robe are crisp counterpoints to the green walls. A rich brown vanity, framed mirror, and stainless steel accents add style.




A nightstand was repurposed as a vanity in this bathroom. It's a sophisticated alternative to a stock vanity and offers the look of a higher-end model for a fraction of the price. The nightstand drawer is still functional and can be used to store small items. A large above-counter sink minimizes splashing, and the nightstand was treated with a lacquer finish to make it water-resistant.













Removing bulky linen closet doors helped open up the small bathroom and keep items accessible. Towels, cosmetics, etc. can be stored in baskets to prevent the open storage from looking cluttered.
