You Won’t Believe What This $500 Makeover Did to My Tiny Bathroom

Item Cost
New vanity (on clearance) $120
Modern LED mirror (Amazon) $75
Paint & supplies $40
Stick-on floor tiles $60
Light fixture (thrift store) $35
Floating shelves (DIY) $20
New hardware (handles, towel bar) $25
Shower curtain & accessories $40
Total $495

I reused the toilet and sink. I skipped tearing out the tiles and instead used high-quality stick-on floor tiles that completely transformed the vibe.


🖌️ The Transformation: From Dingy to Designer-Inspired

Painting the walls soft sage green was the first game-changer. It made the space feel calm and open. The new LED mirror gave it that spa-like glow, and the floating shelves added much-needed storage without taking up floor space.

My favorite touch? The brushed brass hardware I installed myself. It made everything look custom and expensive—even though I got them on sale.

The whole process took one weekend. And when I stepped back and looked at the finished space, I actually teared up. I finally had a bathroom that felt clean, elegant, and peaceful—without breaking the bank.


💡 What I Learned: Small Bathroom Remodel Tips for Under $500

  1. Shop clearance sections and thrift stores. You’ll be amazed.

  2. Paint is powerful. It’s cheap and transforms everything.

  3. Stick-on tiles are underrated. Just make sure you install them properly.

🏡 Final Thoughts: Your Dream Bathroom Might Cost Less Than You Think

Home improvement doesn’t have to mean maxing out a credit card or hiring a crew. With a little patience, planning, and Pinterest inspiration, you can create a space that feels completely new—for less than the cost of one fancy dinner set.

If you’re sitting there, staring at your own sad little bathroom, wondering if it’s even worth trying… trust me.
It is.

And you can absolutely do it for under $500.
