You go to the bathroom every day, and over time, you can get fed up with the furnishings. Read on to find out how a small budget can make a big difference.
Sometimes, change is necessary. This is true for various aspects of life, including home decor. Sometimes, all it takes is a few changes, and your home suddenly looks completely different. And you don’t even need to dig deep into your pockets to do this. If it really is just about a little change and not a complete renovation, a lot can be achieved with little money. myHOMEBOOK editor and interior design expert Katharina Regenthal shares insights on how to redesign and refurnish your bathroom for less than 100 euros.
Take stock first
Before you start remodeling, you should first take a look at the status quo. Which items do you want to keep in the bathroom, and which should be removed? What do you still like, and what don’t you like? Once these questions have been answered, you can start redesigning your bathroom with a budget of less than 100 euros.
It’s always helpful to have a good clear-out beforehand. Dried-out creams, broken hair ties, and the like can be safely thrown in the bin. This paves the way for a bathroom that invites you to relax and feel good.
Plants
Adding plants requires minimal effort yet yields a significant transformation. Allocating a portion of your sub-100 euro budget to plants can contribute to your bathroom’s redesign. Depending on whether you have a window or not, a wide variety of plants will feel at home there. Suitable plants in a bathroom without a window include the monocot or the lucky feather. In a bathroom with a window, orchids or aloe vera are suitable. Many plants, including their pots, are affordable, leaving sufficient funds for additional redecorating.
Paint the wall
If you only have a small bathroom that you want to change and spruce up a little, you can also opt for a new coat of paint for the wall. A small area allows for staying within budget while still achieving a significant impact. Ideally, you’ll still have brushes and masking tape from the last time you painted, so you can save on these costs, too. You can also get wallpaper at a reasonable price if you only have a small area to wallpaper.
New towels
You can also buy new towels for the bathroom for less than 100 euros. While avoiding the most expensive brands, investing in one or two small, quality guest towels is certainly feasible. A new bath mat in the same color as the towels can also make a big difference.
Replace the soap dispenser
In addition to new towels, you can also buy a new soap dispenser for a small amount of money. These are now available in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and materials. Selecting a soap dispenser that complements the towel colors can effortlessly enhance the room’s tranquility.
More order with baskets
Hairspray here, cream there – everything standing around in the bathroom can quickly look messy. Small baskets or boxes in which you can place everything neatly are helpful. This approach enables significant changes on a modest budget with minimal effort.
New decorations
New decorations also create a completely different atmosphere and make a difference in the bathroom. If you already have picture frames hanging in the bathroom, you could simply replace the photos in them. An attractive vase filled with dried eucalyptus can also make a striking addition without surpassing your budget.
Replacing the shower curtain
If you have a shower with a shower curtain, you can make many changes here, too, simply by replacing the curtain. Numerous contemporary options are now available online that remain within budget.

Changing the fittings
For substantial bathroom updates on a budget under 100 euros, consider replacing the taps. If you look around a bit, you can find some at a good price. Models in matt black are particularly popular at the moment. Replacing old chrome taps with new matte black ones can rejuvenate the appearance of your bathroom.
