Although it was functional for the family for many years, it was super outdated and really ugly. Especially since it was in the upstairs bathroom which only the family saw and used. The family decided to remove the old cheap doorless vanity and replaced it with a beautiful, stylish vanity and marble top with stunning faucet, which created a sleek, modern focus point. The vanity has enough space so it is not only stunning, but practical. They opted for accompanying modern lighting to complement the sleek style.
2. Rustic bathroom makeover

It is normal after many years of use that your bathroom will show signs of aging and deterioration. There may be dirty grout, tiles and a toilet that needs to be replaced which was the case with this bathroom remodel. When you take advantage of what is already there, oftentimes you can create the illusion of a larger space. For instance, if you have natural light it will make a huge difference in the space. Additionally, in this particular bathroom, the use of octagon tiles and the illusion of a small pattern makes the floor seem larger. You can also create storage space with rustic shelving (which you can leave natural, stain or paint) and add a few baskets to finish off your rustic feel.
3. Clean and stylish

Poor lighting and an absolute lack of focal point and décor makes this bathroom one that you'd rather not want to spend any time in. By changing the wallpaper with a beautiful print, a focal point is created. With the addition of a matching marble countertop, you have a beautifully clean and stylish bathroom.
4. Tub to shower

By replacing your tub with a shower, you open up space and use the little space that you have, more practically. Replace the tiles and keep some of the original fixtures to further save and stay within your budget. You can opt for a shower tray or have it tiled, and if there is enough space, leave it without a door or use glass to keep the space open.
5. Out with the old, in with minimal chic

A makeover does not have to be spectacular and expensive. A makeover with modern and simple fixtures, a new toilet, tiles, light fittings, vanity and faucet that you can get for a reasonable price after shopping around a bit, can be the ideal facelift that your small bathroom needs.
