Cute Ways To Decorate Your Bathroom Without Spending Any Money

Turn a plain bathroom into a cozy space.


Turn your drab bathroom into an inviting space where you can relax in the tub or primp for a night out without feeling like you are in a truck stop restroom. Though your budget for home decor may be next to nothing, there are numerous ways you can decorate your bathroom without spending any money. Look through your home for items you can move into your bathroom as well as items you can reuse and remake.


Bathroom Curtains


Create your own outside bathroom curtain out of old bedsheets that feature unusual patterns. If you do not have metal rings to place within the curtain holes for hanging the curtain up, simply make holes in the fabric with a pair of scissors for hanging purposes. Another option is to sew multiple old sheets to make a new bathroom curtain, or combine assorted pieces of scrap fabric to make a fabric "collage" as your new curtain.


DIY Stamps and Stencils


Make your own stamps for decorating your bathroom by reusing old sponges and cutting them into assorted shapes. If you already own sponges in assorted shapes, such as those made for children, use them to make sponge designs and patterns on your bathroom wall as well. Another "stamp" idea is to use yours and your family members' feet and hands to make stamps on your bathroom wall; simply stick feet and hands in paint and press them against the walls where desired. Cut assorted stencils out of cardboard or card stock and trace them onto your bathroom wall with paint or even crayon.


Baskets








Use wicker and plastic baskets and bins you have lying around the house as cute storage containers for bathroom items. Fill one basket with hair products, another with bath products, another with makeup, and another with beauty tools, such as curling irons and blow dryers, which looks better than having makeup and hair care products strewn about your bathroom and also makes your bathroom a more organized area to shower and prep.


Plants and Other Decor Ideas


If your bathroom features windows that stream a good amount of light, move some of your plants into your bathroom where applicable. Tropical and semi-tropical plants are ideal for bathroom display, however any plants you have will do. Place one or more plants on top of your toilet, on your bathroom sink, on top of bathroom cabinets, or on their own plant stand if possible. Additional ideas for cute, free bathroom decor include arranging a few candles from your candle collection as desired around your bathroom, or drying flowers from your gardens to make displays in baskets and vases.
