New Faucets
Often called the jewelry of the kitchen or bathroom, installing new faucets on the sink, tub and shower can give a beautifully updated look to the room. Go modern and sleek, or old school traditional or anything in-between that reflects your taste.
Mirror Mirror
Sometimes you don’t have to spend anything for an easy DIY bathroom update. Re-painting the existing mirror frame or etching a design into the mirror can create a new look for the powder room. A new shape or sized mirror can also shed new light into a dreary room and don’t forget that over the sink is not the only place where a mirror can be placed.
Lighting

If the bathroom space is large enough, add a piece or two of functional furniture that also add to the overall updated look of the room. Cabinets or shelving for storage, a vanity table and chair for comfortably getting ready in the morning. Re-purpose existing furniture pieces or buy ready-made pieces to update your bathroom.
New Flooring
New bathroom flooring can be installed in a weekend and with the option of installing a new heated floor to keep your feet toasty-warm during during the cold winter months, flooring is a great idea for an easy DIY bathroom update.
