20 Cheap DIY Bathroom Ideas You’ll Absolutely Adore
When it comes to DIY bathroom ideas, I turn into a kid in a candy store. I just want to try everything and I think it comes from enjoying my bathroom. It’s a safe haven for most people. After a long tiring day, what do you crave?
A good hot shower before getting started with your nighttime skincare routine.
In my opinion, the last thing you want is a bathroom that looks boring and clinical.
Leave those types of bathroom decors for the hospital. Instead, you want to max out the personality, warmth, and style in your bathroom as much as possible.
I think now is the perfect time to get started on some home improvements and there’s no better place to start than in the bathroom.
I’ve got a collection of DIY bathroom ideas that are not only easy on the eye but easy on the wallet too.
Take a look at some of these bathroom decor ideas and let me know which one is your favorite.

Ever thought about putting a home in a home?
Guess you can now in this neat, sweet, and cute DIY house shelving.
I like the addition of a succulent with products paired together, it looks inviting and clean which is exactly what you want for a bathroom.

I think adding a custom sign like a motivational quote is a wonderful addition to a bathroom.
When I wake up and look into the mirror first thing in the morning, I tend to take a second to think about why I’m going to make today the best day ever.
Having wall art with a motivational or poetic message would be perfect.

I recently wrote a post about IKEA hacks and I was blown away by how versatile IKEA furniture is.
Their products offer such a great affordable solution for home decor and this IKEA car organizer is a perfect example. Functional yet clean and attractive, I love it.
4. DIY Rustic Towel Rack

Add some color and rustic vibes to your bathroom with this DIY towel rack. Generally, I’d prefer a light oak finish but for a warmer look to varnish the plank. Still a fantastic little DIY to try.
5. DIY Bathtub Tray
Now, this is what I’m talking about. Imagine coming back home after a long day at work, filling up the bathtub and just pampering yourself whilst having a ton of spa-like essentials in front of you on this tray. Wouldn’t it be therapeutic? I think so!
There’s really not much work to this DIY so if you’re feeling lazy, still give it a look.
6. DIY Bathroom Shelving With Crates

There’s something about white crates that really makes me think of being out at sea or on a ship. Apart from that, they’re a great space-saving organization idea for the bathroom.
If you’re feeling creative, I’d go so far as to paint every second crate a contrasting color for more vibrancy.
7. DIY Farmhouse Bathroom Vanity Light Fixture
via lizmarieblog
Say what you want about farmhouse-themed DIY’s but you can never accuse them of not being elegant and warm.
That’s what I like about them, they’re not particularly popular but when installed, they grab everyone’s attention. And this farmhouse vanity light fixture is no exception.
8. Dollar Store Bathroom Drawer
I like this DIY because it’s an extremely cheap and simple way of keeping your vanity cupboards organized and clutter-free.
If you use a lot of liquid products, this will also preserve the lifespan of your cupboards because these containers prevent liquid spillage.
9. Shower Pocket Organizer
Before finding this DIY, most of the shower items were either hanging on the doorknobs or sitting on the bathroom floor like a damn mini town.
Now, however, this cost-effective pocket organizer has changed the game for me. Everything is at an arms reach without causing clutter.
If, however, you don’t have a shower curtain rod, get 2 to 3 suction cups with hooks and stick them against the shower wall for this little bad boy.
10. DIY Air Freshener Decoration

I highly doubt I need to explain a reason for having a clean and fresh-smelling bathroom but you can totally be extra and put together this flowery mason jar with air freshener beads inside.
This DIY adds some color to your bathroom while keeping it smelling fresh on the down low.
11. Tissue Box Cover
I like this fun and bright tissue box cover, especially when you’re trying to make small changes to your bathroom on a budget. There’s no actual drilling or installation involved, just a bit of creativity and fun.
12. Wire Basket Bathroom Towel Storage
via the36thavenue
If you’re a fan of oceanic-themed bathrooms, I think this aged wire basket with a starfish or shells is what you’re looking for.
The fact that the paint has chipped off and it looks aged adds a sense of history to it, almost as if you found it in a shipwreck.
13. Plastic Bins Bathroom Organizer
via hisugarplum
The reason I like these plastic storage containers is that they can be stacked and used as makeshift drawers in cabinets that lack shelving.
This will save you money from not having to install shelves yourself while also protecting any clothing or equipment from liquids.
14. DIY Fabric Toilet Paper Holder
via makeit-loveit
Save yourself the trouble of having to constantly replace each roll of toilet paper by using this DIY fabric toilet paper holder. Talk about repurposing wasted material and using it as such a functional tool, am I right?
15. Rustic DIY Bathroom Shelving
via tarynwhiteaker
I’m not going to lie, I have a thing for rustic decor. Call me sentimental but I like old and countryside designs. I think they can turn any house into a home.
This rustic bathroom shelving is a display piece in itself but the fact that it holds useful items like a wire container and even frames is a nice touch.
16. Rustic Wooden Bathroom Storage Ladder
via jennasuedesign
Told you I’m a huge fan of rustic decor. I couldn’t resist including this wooden storage ladder because it’s so unusual.
If I walked into a bathroom and saw a ladder propped against the wall with useful bathroom essentials on it, I’d lose my shit. It’s just so eye-catching, unusual, and unique.
17. DIY Rustic Wood Accent Wall
via blesserhouse
Before this becomes overkill, I just want to share one more rustic bathroom idea.
Granted, this doesn’t really serve any functional purpose but you have to admit, it looks freaking amazing.
You could repurpose old wood or even opt for purchasing peel & stick wooden tiles as an easier alternative.
18. Easy DIY Stone Bathtub Surround
via DIYTyler
Before starting this blog, I always felt like the installation of stone walls or stone features was a lot of work. I mean, getting all the material and the prep work seems exhausting.
Plus, it can get quite pricey. So, I looked past most stone finish tutorials until I stumbled upon this one.
19. Industrial Farm House Floating Shelves
Okay, so I decided to share another shelving DIY but what can I say, I’m a sucker for floating shelves. And this tutorial is well-written and fairly simple to follow.
20. DIY Mason Jar Bathroom Set
via consumerqueen
Last but certainly not least, we have this family of matching mason jars holding all the bathroom essentials a person could need. From holding flowers to even a liquid dispenser, this DIY has it all.
I love repurposing old goods and this simple and clean DIY is exactly my kind of thing.
