Add Dividers to Drawers
Bathroom drawers are filled with small items like toothbrushes, floss, makeup, and other toiletries. They quickly become messy and jumbled. A simple way to keep everything organized inside of drawers is by adding dividers to separate items by category. With dividers, you won’t have makeup brushes next to the toothpaste, which turns into a gooey mess. You can buy adjustable wooden drawer dividers that will quickly fit into any size bathroom drawer.
DIY Bathroom Upgrades to Fix Caulk
Caulk keeps water out of crevices around the sink, tub, and shower. If the caulk is deteriorating or peeling away, the area isn’t waterproof. Water can seep into the drywall or floor, causing rot and mold to form in areas that are hard to see and access. To prevent this from happening, it is important to refresh the bathroom caulk periodically. Scrape away old caulk and apply a new strip of fresh caulk with a caulking gun. Then, smooth it out with your finger or a rounded craft stick.
Add Privacy Film to Windows
You don’t want people to see inside your bathroom from the street, but the room feels so dark with the blinds closed. Privacy film is an adhesive window covering that allows light to come in but blurs the view through the window. It is inexpensive and easy to attach to the window, making this one of the best DIY bathroom upgrades.
Install a Wall Cabinet
If you feel like you don’t have enough storage space in your bathroom, use empty wall space. A cabinet on the wall can hold towels, hair care products, medications, and so much more. Cabinets work better than shelves because they have doors that maintain a clean and tidy look in the bathroom.
DIY Bathroom Upgrades Include Hooks
You really can’t have too many hooks on the bathroom walls and door. Hooks hold towels, robes, washcloths, and accessories. Add a row of hooks to the back of the door, and some hooks next to the shower or bath so you can easily grab a towel.
When you want to improve your bathroom, keep in mind that you don’t need to spend a lot of money. You can complete each of the above projects for well under $100. They don’t require special skills or tools other than items you’ll already have in your toolbox.
