Are you embarrassed by your dated master bathroom. I sure was. I just kept the door closed and tried to ignore it! Without a doubt it was boring and outdated. Since the day we moved in, I had had big plans to completely gut the bathroom, relocate the fixtures and have my dream modern master bathroom. Five years later it still looks exactly the same as the day we moved in. 😩 It was definitely time for an Inexpensive Master Bathroom Makeover.
Why did I wait so long to make these simple cosmetic changes? Clearly we could have made these inexpensive changes and fit them into our budget years ago and enjoyed the space so much more.
Using the power of paint, tile decals and feather finish concrete we kept on a tight budget. The before and after transformation is remarkable. The bathroom now feels updated, modern and elegant with an industrial flair. The old 90’s bathroom is gone with basically no demo.
We will share easy DIY ideas to create a modern bathroom on the cheap. This master bathroom went from boring & outdated to WOW in 2 weekends.
In addition we will share simple and quick design tips that can create an elegant and industrial look. Black, white and blush pink were used to create a modern feel. Inexpensive mirrors and decor complete the spa like atmosphere.
I’ve ordered from Snazzy Decals. A few of my floor decals separated from the clear protective coating. It was annoying as the bathroom is gently used.
Did you put the tile decals in the shower? I’m concerned the floor would be slippery.
I’m sorry you can trouble with the snazzy decals, mine have been fine. I suggest reposting this directly to them. For my shower I only placed the decals on the boarder wall tiles, not on the floor of the shower.I hope this helps.
So glad I came across this post just as we decided a similar cosmetic update vs full demo too! Wondering how the wood top is supporting the 2 sink inserts? Also by raising the counter were there any issues with adjusting the plumbing connections below? It looks like you did no backsplash then correct?
Awesome job, I MAY even do pink! 😉
It’s been 2 years since we updated the bathroom. The sinks are holding up well, and the the only plumbing adjustments involved a little longer pipe. The connections in the wall remained the same. Yes, there is no backsplash, I haven’t had any issues with excess water on the countertop. But if that’s an issue for you can always add a tile border for a backsplash. Good luck on your project. Let us know how it turned out.

You’ve done a great job. I particularly like the mirrors on the black wall, plus the decorative edge you’ve given it. I would do a colour other than pink but that’s just a matter of choice. The entire room looks fantastic!
Thank you so much Kathleen! I know that pink isn’t for everyone. But we just wanted to show the dramatic change that can take place even on a small budget.
Looks fantastic!!! I have a caviar drama wall in my bedroom and love it!!! You go girl!!!
Thank you Marjo, I love caviar! I first used it on a clients kitchen cabinets and it was love at first sight. Next I think I will use it in my bedroom.
How is the floor holding up? Both the grout lines and sticker tiles…. do they actually stay adhered? Is the grout still white? Thank you- especially love the pink vanity!!
Thank you Ja. So far so good, the grout is still white and the decals are holding up great. It’s been about 10 weeks now. I know it’s not a permanent fix, but for now it looks amazing and it transformed the bathroom.
Love it! Especially the pink cabinet. I also would lije to know how flooring is holding up. Do you have kids, pets running around on it? I have large dogs and worry their nails could scratch it.
Thank you so much Denise. My children are all grown, and no pets. It’s hold up great for us so far. It’s been about 10 weeks. I am thrilled with the change it made however.
I love the updated look, especially the mirrors, lights, and floor tiles.. How do you maintain the floors without fading or scratching the decals? Thank you!
Thank you so much Jan. To maintain the decal tiles, I weekly sweep and mop the floor as usual and they are holding up great. We walk on it with shoes, but since it’s a bathroom I don’t slide chairs on in or anything like that. So for my purpose it’s been great.
This is beautiful! I love the floor, the pink, and the mirrors! The whole room is full of personality now. Great job!
Thank you Carrie! It was time to actually add some style to the room. I kept holding off because I was waiting for all of the stars to align (money and time) to gut and remodel the entire space. But with a small budget and a little work it is now a space we can enjoy as is for years to come.

I love everything about this make-over EXCEPT the pink cabinet. NO, No! If I do try this and I am leaning toward it I will pick another color.
Can’t do pink. Maybe a warm cream with undertone of gold. I do love the whole idea of this though. Great job.
Thank you LG Smith. I know the pink is not for everyone. I questioned the color as well. It as grown on me. There are many colors that would look fabulous the the black and white color scheme.
