DIY on a Budget: Bathroom Update

1   Value Pick Refresh for Under $60

Make your bathroom better in one weekend with a quick paint update or fun wallpaper! Bathrooms are the perfect space to play with colour and funky patterns on a small scale. White paint is a foolproof choice to brighten your space up and accessorize with colourful plants and towels. Try a peel and stick wallpaper like Nuwallpaper, or a fresh coat of moisture resistant SICO bathroom paint.

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 a modern update and add depth to a bright design. Always follow manufacturer instructions for installing, 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!

3   Replace Your Vanity for Under $1200
