DIY on a Budget: Bathroom Update

Author: Kent Building Supplies

1 Value Pick Refresh for Under $75

Enhance your bathroom in one weekend with a quick paint update or add fun wallpaper! Bathrooms offer a great space to experiment with colours and quirky patterns on a small scale. Opting for white paint is a safe bet to add brightness, and you can complement it with vibrant plants and towels. Use peel-and-stick wallpaper or moisture-resistant SICO bathroom paint to revamp the space.

2 Update Hardware for Under $300

If you’re ready to keep DIYing, ask our Project Centre for instructions on replacing your faucet! Our Moen Arlys single-handle black faucet will compliment any modern update and add depth to a bright design. Always follow manufacturer installation instructions, and ensure the final product is watertight. Tie in the matte black trend with a round vanity mirror, like the 31” Columbia Frame black Bentwood Lush mirror!
