5 Complete Guide to Makes DIY Bathroom Ideas for Small Spaces

If you live in a small space, the bathroom can be the hardest place to find storage. And if the bathroom is your least favorite room in the house, adding style and comfort are probably at the bottom of your list.

But it doesn’t have to be! Here are a few DIY bathroom ideas for small spaces projects that will makeover your space without breaking the bank:

1. Start with a Shower Curtain

The first step to planning your bathroom is deciding what you want your shower curtain to look like.

Consider the following:

• How much of the space do you want to cover? This is an important factor because it will determine which type of shower curtain you choose—no matter how cute or expensive it is, a small-scale design won’t look good if it’s only covering up half of a wall.

• What color and pattern are already present in your bathroom? Are there any pieces that need updating? If so, consider adding something new but complementary rather than clashing with existing decor.

Once these questions have been answered, start shopping for that perfect shower curtain! Here are some tips:

2. Build a Corner Shelf

To build a corner shelf, you need a few pieces of wood. You can use any type of scrap wood you have lying around the house, but it’s helpful if they’re all the same thickness.

It’s also worth noting that you don’t have to use actual lumber—you can make your shelves out of anything flat and strong enough to hold stuff. I used two pieces of 2×4 for my test run and was very satisfied with how well they held up (and even though I used screws that were slightly too long, I still had plenty left over).

In general this is one of those projects where having some extra supplies on hand is awesome since it allows for trial and error until you find something that works best for your space/needs/preferences (but not necessarily in that order).

3. DIY Wooden Mirror Frame

You’ll need a few pieces of wood for this project. You can either buy them or go to the hardware store and ask for scraps—they should have some lying around, and they will probably be happy to give you some free of charge.

The exact measurements depend on what size you want your mirror frame to be, but it will probably require between two and four pieces of wood, depending on how many corners they make up.

If you do not already own a miter saw, consider buying one (they are relatively inexpensive). They come in handy when making DIY projects like this because they allow you to cut the wood at sharp angles with ease.

If cutting isn’t your thing, remember that most hardware stores offer free carpentry services: just bring the pieces over and ask them if they can help!

When finished cutting out all four sides of your frame using either method described above (or both!), use a brush or rag dipped in paint thinner to clean off any excess sawdust from each side before painting as desired (we recommend using high quality latex paint because it won’t fade over time). You could also stain or varnish if desired once everything is dry!

4. Update Your Vanity

To update your vanity, you can use a mirror with a frame or opt for one that has a sink. If you’re looking to save space, try using a vanity with an attached mirror and sink. You could also choose something like this console table with storage or this bench with drawers for additional storage space.

When selecting your new bathroom fixture, think about how much counter space will be available and what kind of light source you’ll need to see yourself in the mirror—you may want to consider installing more than one light so there’s no glare on your face!

5. Makeover Your Walls

When it comes to bathroom walls, you have some choices. You can paint or wallpaper your walls if you’re feeling adventurous. Another option is simply to hang a large piece of art that adds both style and personality. Consider the color scheme of your bathroom before deciding on a wall covering to ensure everything coordinates with each other.

You may also want to consider adding a shower curtain rod above the tub (if there is no tension rod already installed) in order to give yourself an extra spot for storage. This can be done by using Command hooks so that you don’t leave any holes or marks on your newly painted walls!

Finally, update or replace your vanity mirror with something that reflects light better than what was previously there—a high-quality vanity mirror won’t cost much more than $50 but will make all those morning preparations feel like they’re happening under sunshine rather than in darkness!
