Cosmetic bathroom reno

Hi all 

 

We have just completed an update to our bathroom. We did a cosmetic reno to limit costs but we still wanted to create a more inviting space.

This consisted of framing the mirror, painting the walls, tiles and vanity. Very happy with the end result

Re: Cosmetic bathroom reno

That's an amazing transformation you've achieved there @diy_hausdesigns! However, given the high quality of everything else you've shared with us, I wouldn't have expected anything less.

 

It was a brilliant decision to paint those tiles and vanity. They look much more aesthetically pleasing now in white. Would you mind giving us a rough estimation of what this cosmetic make-over cost? I trust that will be useful information for members deciding between a cosmetic or total renovation.

 

I must say I'm a little disappointed you didn't follow my instructions and feature a toilet roll holder shelf over the toilet. It would have really been the icing on the cake! 😂

 

Wonderful work, as always. Well done.

Thanks mate! I think the experience is building my confidence. I must say, I loved your holder shelf .. however I would never measure up to your delivering it to your standards 😉

 

Makeover Total costs approx  $ 350

 

Breakdown 

Mirror Moulding - $ 30
Mirror Tape - $12
Paint - 2L $60 (this was plenty more than needed)
Paint and Primer for tiles $0 - remainder from kitchen
Mirror cabinet - $ 230
Toilet roll holder, towel Rails, bin - $0 already had these.

 

It really is a cost effective way of getting a new space at a low cost !

 

Cheers

Re: Cosmetic bathroom reno

Thanks @Jason ! Though a smaller project and low budget. It has definitely had a huge  impact on the space.

Re: Cosmetic bathroom reno

Hi there, for the ‘mirror mouldings’ what did you use…yours looks great and  I would like to do something similar with my mirror but not entirely sure what moulding option I should select?

 

Thank you! 

Re: Cosmetic bathroom reno

Thanks @Starter1503 

 

I used wall skirting boards as the mirror moulding which offered a good variety of options. Hope that helps !

 

All the best !
