We utilize our bathrooms constantly throughout the day, which is just one of the reasons it's highly-beneficial to invest in a bathroom remodel when the time comes. And while many homeowners dream of a luxurious oasis for unwinding, most hesitate to even look at design ideas or top-shelf products thinking that they can't afford extra accessories or amenities. But the truth is, these sorts of updates don't have to cost an arm and a leg.

We've helped 50,000+ homeowners achieve the bathroom remodels of their dreams, and understand better than anyone how to integrate luxury into your home on a budget.
1. Transform Your Space with Fresh Paint
One of the most straightforward ways to transform your bathroom into a dreamy new space is by freshening up the walls. There are many color trends happening right now that appeal to different styles and preferences. Achieve a dramatic and bold aesthetic by painting your walls a deep emerald or rich topaz, or go for a spa-like space by opting for neutral tones, like taupe, grey or beige.
2. Turn Fixtures into Focal Points
Most of the time, the incentive behind a bathroom remodel is the need for a new bathtub or shower replacement. Since these aspects of your remodel are essential, find high-quality and beautiful products that will enhance the aesthetic of your room. Instead of opting for updated versions of the same old products you currently have installed, take an extra second to look for a bathtub that best suits you, or a shower that better fits in your unique bathroom.
3. Lean into Biophilic Designs
Biophilia-inspired designs have been a major bathroom remodel trend so far in 2025. Biophilia is defined as the innate human love of natural and living things, so a bathroom centered around this idea will incorporate nature in different ways. There are endless ways to achieve a biophilic bathroom aesthetic without investing in expensive accessories, including:
- Large, Potted Plants
- Small Hanging Plants
- Natural Materials like Wood and Stone
- Water Fountain
- Earthy Color Palette
- Install a Skylight
4. Update Old Hardware
Another simple and cost-effective way to spruce up your bathroom is by focusing on the hardware. Leave your vanity, cupboards and cabinets alone and just replace the handles, knobs and other metal fixtures for an inexpensive way to elevate the appearance of your entire bathroom. Create an extra layer of depth by mixing metals and giving your bathroom a charming and personalized look. Some popular combinations include:
- Matte Black and Brass
- Brushed Nickel and Copper
- Chrome and Brushed Bronze
- Polished Nickel and Brass
- Chrome and Gold
5. Add Plenty of Storage
Nothing detracts from the relaxing feel of a bathroom like clutter. If you have overflowing shelves, product bottles piled on countertops or towels stacked on the floor, investing in storage will dramatically improve the aesthetic and help you attain a more luxurious bathroom. Adding hooks and hangers, cabinetry under the sink, or a medicine cabinet/mirror combination can bring you more opportunities to store items away and create a fresh and clean bathroom.
These upgrades aren't just for style points—a bathroom remodel can result in an increased home value, especially when an expert remodeler takes the lead on the project.
