Transform a rental bathroom on a budget

When it comes to rentals, the bathroom is often the most neglected part of the property. But don't dismay, even if you're not the owner, doesn't mean your hands are tied. There are things you can do to take a rental bathroom from drab to fab... and still keep your bond! - by Better Homes and Gardens

Add a splash of paint... with the landlord's permission of course

They may even cover the costs if it's in need of a coat or two! Either a nice bright white or a pop of colour on the walls and door can make a big difference to a drab bathroom. If you can't tackle the walls, add some colour to bathroom cabinets and vanity.

Thinkstock

Update fixture

Here we're talking door and cabinet knobs and handles, taps and faucets, and even light fixtures. It's quite easy to do and will make a big difference in lifting the room. Be sure to store the old ones away so you can switch them back when you move out.

Thinkstock

Mirror mirror...

If you can, replace the mirror. Most rental bathrooms will come with a stock standard one fixed to the wall, so why not replace it and add a little character with a statement mirror that reflects your style. Look around at garage sales or op shops for pieces you can upcycle.

Thinkstock

Replace old or mouldy sealants

If your silicone sealants or your caulking are coming loose or going mouldy, replacing them is a really easy, low-cost job you can tackle yourself.

Thinkstock

Inject colour, style and personality

Just because it's a bathroom, doesn't mean you can't add your favourite artworks to the walls. Even some nice bright towels, face washers, bathmats, baskets, accessories or a funky shower curtain, will lift a dreary bathroom.

Thinkstock

Finally, use a little elbow grease

Often it makes a difference just to do a really good deep-clean with some heavy duty cleaners and scrubbing brush... tiles, grout, soap holders, in and around taps and faucets, behind toilets and under the cistern. You'll be surprised at what a difference it will make.
