A sparkling bathroom is often high on a renovator's list, but if yours is in pretty good nick, it’s hard to justify a full-blown redo. But you can give it a cosmetic refresh with these budget-wise ideas and a dose of country charm.

Of course, finding materials with a zero dollar price tag is a terrific tool for keeping costs down. Kick off your reno by trawling the free section of online trading sites or local council kerbside collections.

  1. If your existing wall tiles are in good order, consider them keepers! Just paint the strip of wall above in a soothing shade you love, here Dulux Pesto. Add a charming vintage vanity table for your basin – it’s easy to DIY.
  2. Fresh blooms from your garden add colour without blowing the budget.
  3. Acrylic sheets from the hardware store are a cost-effective way to replace wall tiles in the shower. Save the removed tiles to replace missing ones elsewhere. You can lay new tiles over existing floor tiles on a sound substrate – these wood-look beauties 4were from a council clean-up.
  4. Hang striking prints for a bold effect.
  5. Play up the laid-back styling with woven laundry baskets.
