How to Make Your Bathroom Look Expensive

Keeping up with the Joneses can be more expensive than it looks — especially when it comes to bathroom renovations. Between rapid inflation and economic uncertainty, it can be hard to justify spending thousands of dollars on brand-new appliances or top-of-the-line finishes.

But here’s a little secret some companies don’t want you to know: you don’t have to spend more money to make your bathroom look expensive. Instead, you can use a few simple tools and tricks to give an upscale look to any bathroom.

Curious to learn how? Let’s dive into five different ways you can make your Mandeville bathroom look more expensive.

5 Ways To Make Your Mandeville LA Bathroom Look Expensive

Who says an expensive-looking bathroom has to cost an arm and a leg?

Here are five unique strategies for enhancing your bathroom without breaking the bank.

1. Doll Up The Details

You don’t need to go big or go home to create a fancy-looking bathroom. As long as you’re willing to add some pizzazz, you can create a ritzier-looking space for a few hundred dollars or less.

You can try:

  • Adding cloth shower curtains that carry specific accent colors
  • Upgrading to new bathroom containers with the color scheme you’re looking for
  • Swapping bath towels and rugs for newer, brighter alternatives
  • Putting humidity-tolerant plants on shelves and counters
  • Hanging large wall art in open spaces

Don’t forget to let your personal taste shine through!

2. Switch Out Your Hardware

Purchasing brand-new bathroom appliances can be expensive — but upgrading their hardware could be very cost-effective! Your sink faucet, shower head, drawer handles, and even towel bar could have a huge impact on how friends and family members perceive your bathroom space.

If you’re looking to get more luxe for less, you can try:

  • Waterfall faucets for a glamorous washing experience.
  • Rain shower heads for a relaxing, even-tempered shower.
  • Multi-leveled towel bars for a complementary yet chic look.
  • Updated knobs for cabinets and drawers to show off personal style.

None of these upgrades cost more than a few hundred dollars, and with the help of a seasoned bathroom renovation professional, you can ensure they withstand the test of time.

3. Revamp Your Flooring

The flooring of a bathroom says a lot about the quality of the space. If you’re relying on older laminate floors or outdated, patinated tile, it may be time to spruce up your space with a touch of elegance.

Start by donating any existing rugs that don’t match the style of your bathroom. Next, consider the different flooring options that may suit your preferences (including cork, ceramic tile, or updated laminate). It’s a good idea to pay a professional to help with the installation process and ensure the nooks and crannies of your bathroom receive adequate flooring coverage.

4. Opt For Nicer Lighting Fixtures

Lighting is a major mood setter in the home and a big contributor to expensive-feeling spaces (including bathrooms). If you’re looking to add an element of fanciness, you can start with a cost-effective lighting fixture.

Not sure where to start? Try adding:

  • Large-scale lighting
  • Flush-mount chandeliers
  • Updated vanity lights

5. Add New Tiling

Backsplash can make or break the elegance of any space. So if you’re struggling to find low-cost ways of upgrading your bathroom, shower or sink tiles may be a great place to start.

We recommend:

  • Tiling diagonally
  • Adding tile to the ceiling
  • Fully covering the wall you tile
