00:00Here are 18 doable DIYs that will elevate your bathroom without breaking the bank.
00:05A plain, boring bathroom bin instantly drags down your space's vibe.
00:10To fix this, I took some clippers and cut up a garland into smaller, handheld sections.
00:15Then I hot glued them onto the top of the trash can lid.
00:18Trust the process, it looks messy at first, but gets fuller as you go.
00:22Once I was happy with the branches, I brought it upstairs and problem solved.
00:26It now doubles as an elegant faux planter that elevates the whole room.
00:31Cluttered countertops are a constant headache, but custom bathroom storage doesn't have to cost a fortune.
00:37Just head to the container aisle at the dollar store and grab two white wire shelves.
00:42Flip one upside down and lay the second on top, overlapping them by about a third.
00:46Zip tie them together tightly so they're secure, then remove the rubber tips.
00:51Bend each arm to about 45 degrees and give the whole unit a coat of spray paint.
00:57Now you have the perfect wall caddy to hold rolled up towels and washcloths.
01:02Basic, mismatched bathroom storage looks cheap and uninspired.
01:06Solve it instantly by taking a short glass container with a screw-on lid and gluing a large marble right
01:11to the center of the lid.
01:13Spray paint both the glass container and the lid.
01:15Style your new jar by placing it on a small wooden cutting board from the kitchen, using it as a
01:21tray alongside your favorite beauty products.
01:24Bathroom counters quickly become a mess of stray soaps and towels.
01:28To create a stylish display, head to the garden section for a metal French garden bucket.
01:33Give it a few light coats of white spray paint.
01:35With a black paint pen, outline the bottom rim once you get a feel for the pressure.
01:40Let it dry and then trace the lettering.
01:42Finish the paint details by outlining the top rim.
01:45Glue some old drawer knobs to the bottom S-feet, then fill it with hand soap and paper towels to
01:50instantly organize your sink area.
01:52An ugly mouthwash bottle sitting on the counter ruins an otherwise polished vanity.
01:57To fix that and add instant luxury, switch it out for a chic decanter.
02:01While you're at it, fix plain, messy toilet paper rolls with a quick trick.
02:06Run the tap so a little water remains.
02:08Touch the folded tip of the paper to the tap and let the water create a beautiful seal.
02:13As it dries, it holds the fold perfectly in place for a neat, high-end look.
02:18Soggy, messy soap dishes are an absolute bathroom nightmare.
02:22Take your existing soap dish and fill it with river rocks from your local dollar store so it stays dry,
02:28neat, and organized.
02:29A swinging door can steal precious floor space in a small bathroom, but I found the perfect fix with a
02:34marketplace door.
02:35First, remove the old bathroom door.
02:38Measure the new door, then level and bolt a board to four studs as a header.
02:42Securing the track is easy.
02:44Using an Amazon barn door kit, just follow the instructions to hang it.
02:47Drill four holes into the top of the door, attach the hanging brackets, and secure them with the bolts.
02:53For privacy, apply water-bonded cling film to the glass, and your stylish sliding door is ready to go.
02:59Loose bathroom odds and ends clutter up counters fast, but don't toss your old jars.
03:04Clean them out thoroughly, then grab two black candle holders from the dollar store and two small wood knobs from
03:10the hardware store.
03:11Hot glue the knobs to the lids and glue the bottoms of the jars to the candle holders.
03:16Once dry, give the lids a coat of black spray paint.
03:20Fill the jars with your essentials and screw the lids back on for instant, high-end pedestal storage.
03:25When vertical space is wasted and clutter takes over, build a custom organizer on a dime.
03:31Grab two white wire baskets and a paper towel holder from Dollar Tree.
03:35Place the holder at the bottom, cut out the middle of the first basket, slide it over top, and secure
03:41it with zip ties.
03:42Cut the middle out of the second basket, slide it on, and place zip ties underneath to create a ledge
03:48for it to sit on.
03:50Reinforce with E6000 glue, spray paint your favorite color, and your double-decker storage issue is solved.
03:56Short on counter space?
03:58Solve your storage problem by building a vertical caddy using three small craft bins.
04:03Mark your alignment with a pencil, apply glue, and let it bond for a second.
04:07Secure the sides with glue, then reinforce everything using a staple gun.
04:11Repeat the exact same process with the second bin, and then do it again for the third bin so it
04:16sits a bit higher.
04:18Once the entire structure is reinforced and secured, finish it off with a coat of wood stain.
04:23Boring builder-grade walls desperately need character.
04:27Fix them using leftover luxury vinyl plank flooring.
04:30Start with the first plank at the top of the wall, verify its level, and secure it using a nail
04:35gun.
04:36Keep working your way down, trimming the bottom plank so it clears the waterline.
04:40To handle the raw edges, attach L-brackets to 1x4 trim pieces, set them in place, level them, and nail
04:47them down for a custom focal wall.
04:49If your bathroom lacks cozy charm, add instant texture with a beadboard accent wall.
04:54Grab two sheets of beadboard from the hardware store, cut them to size with a table saw, and nail them
04:59up.
05:00To top it off, paint inexpensive common board and nail it over the top edge as a border.
05:05Fill any small gaps between the wood and beadboard using paintable caulking, let it dry, paint the wall, and add
05:12hooks for a gorgeous, functional feature.
05:14Plain drywall behind the vanity gets splashed and damaged easily.
05:18Create a quick, waterproof backsplash with three bags of dollar store glass gems.
05:23Wash them in Dawn and water, and let them dry.
05:26Trace guidelines from the vanity to the mirror, then spread a thin coat of mastic using a notched trowel.
05:33Press the gems in working in small sections, then mix one cup of grout to 21 cups of water.
05:39Push the grout into every single gap, let dry for an hour, and wipe off the excess with a wet
05:45sponge.
05:45Remove the painter's tape, apply caulk along the counter, and smooth with your finger.
05:51Deep cabinets lead to lost items, but you can build a lazy Susan to fix the chaos.
05:56Grab four chrome napkin holders, a paper towel holder, and plastic chopping boards.
06:02Trace the napkin holders onto the boards four times.
06:06Cut out the half circles and attach them to the sides of the napkin holders.
06:10Glue two holders to the bottom of the paper towel holder and two toward the top.
06:14Adding zip ties for extra security once dry.
06:18Disorganized vanity counters make getting ready frustrating.
06:21To solve this, stack organizing drawers using E6000 and hot glue, letting them dry.
06:27If your mirror frames need a fix like mine did, paint over the original gold.
06:31Glue mirrors to the top and closed sides of the drawers.
06:34To create the swivel base, place marbles inside a cake pan, set a second cake pan on top,
06:40coat it with E6000, and set the drawer unit right on top.
06:43Let it dry, flip it over, and you have a smooth rotating organizer with extra top storage.
06:49Plain, flat bathroom mirrors lack depth and character.
06:52To fix that and create a gorgeous custom frame on a budget, grab some double loop weather stripping.
06:58Cut the strips so they're slightly longer than the mirror to cover the edges completely,
07:02using an old box to help guide your cuts.
07:05To turn plain weather stripping into a stylish frame, give it a coat of paint.
07:09To finish, just peel off the double-sided tape backing on the foam and stick the pieces directly onto the
07:14mirror.
07:15Outdated, tarnished shower fixtures ruin a bathroom, but replacing them seems impossible.
07:20Fix it yourself in a single day for under $100.
07:24Start by removing the old shower arm and shower head.
07:27Wrap the new shower arm with the included kit tape for a snug fit,
07:31and screw it in as tight as you can by hand before screwing on the new shower head.
07:35For the handle, pry off the small cover with a flathead screwdriver to expose and remove the center screw.
07:41Use the screwdriver and a razor to pop off the old plate, insert the new sticky foam gasket, and screw
07:47it down.
07:48Slide the new handle on and secure it with the bottom screw.
07:51To switch the spout, turn it upside down, loosen the hidden screw with an allen wrench,
07:57add the adapter for the new spout, and screw it in place.
08:00Finally, use your flathead screwdriver to remove the old block-off plate.
08:05Bare builder-grade mirrors look cheap, but a full replacement gets expensive fast.
08:10Solve it for just $35 using tile to create a luxurious border directly on the glass.
08:15Apply liquid nails to the back of the tiles and start mounting them to the mirror,
08:19adding extra adhesive over the mirror clips.
08:21Build a second row of tiles and work your way up the sides,
08:25using tape to hold everything in place as it dries.
08:28The next day, remove the tape and apply black caulking along the edges.
08:32Clean up the lines by wiping away excess caulk with a lint-free cloth and mineral spirits.

08:37Should be nice...
