Before and After Small Bathroom Makeovers

POSTED ON 25 april 2022 by jerry

Small bathrooms come with big potential for these DIY designers. From modest makeovers to complete remodels, these “before” and “after” small bathroom transformations are totally stunning—and totally inspiration-worthy.

Whether you’re considering a bathroom makeover yourself or just love looking at impressive DIY designs, here are 10 small bathrooms that went from blah to spa with a big dose of creativity (and plenty of hard work).

 

Before: Dark and Cramped

Small bathroom with dark gray walls and white pedestal sink.
Design Fixation

Faith Towers Provencher of Design Fixation started with a small bathroom that had lots of natural light but still managed to look overly dark and enclosed.

 

After: Bright and Open

Updated bathroom with geometric tile flooring and light gray walls.

By lightening up the room with paint, fixtures, and tile (subway-style for the walls, marble geometrics for the floor), Faith was able to add more brightness—and the illusion of more space.

 

Before: Plain and Muted

Small bathroom with blue-gray walls and no art.
Live Pretty On a Penny

Erin Marshall of Live Pretty On a Penny is no stranger to quick, budget-friendly makeovers. And that’s good news, since that’s just what her powder room needed.

    After: Modern Beauty

    In addition to swapping in bright and contemporary details, Chloe moved the bathroom itself, taking up part of the hallway to reposition the space in a way that flowed better with the rest of her home.

      After: All Up To Date

      Updated bathroom with blue and white wallpaper and marble topped vanity.
      In My Own Style

      Color still reigns supreme in this bathroom, but this time it’s a bright and timeless blue that takes the space right into the 21st century.

      Before: Humdrum Neutrals

      Boring builder-grade bathroom with brown tile in shower.
      Pillow Thought

      There wasn’t much to see in Lindsey Marlor’s original first floor bathroom. Marlor, the founder of lifestyle blog Pillow Thought, knew it needed a new approach—and some cozier vibes.

      After: Blissful and Relaxing

      Updated bathroom with subway tile walls, wood details, and lit candles.
      Pillow Thought

      Who wouldn’t want to take a soak in this spa-like space? Lindsey installed new wall tile and brought it up to the ceiling for added height. She also added in new flooring and contemporary décor for a completely updated look.

       

      After: Fresh and Welcoming

      Updated powder room with shiplap on walls and dark blue vanity.
      Live Pretty On a Penny

      Erin took on the “One Room Challenge” and the results speak for themselves. In addition to painting the vanity and adding vertical shiplap to the walls, she also put up textured wallpaper and a focus-grabbing circular mirror. Her advice for doing it yourself: “Start small, but start.”

       

      Before: Too Teeny Tiny

      Small, narrow bathroom with toilet and multiple shades of blue on the walls.
      Boxwood Avenue

      Chloe MacKintosh, city-to-country transplant and founder of the Boxwood Avenue blog, felt there was a lot left to be desired in her small and dark bathroom.

     

    Before: Straight Out of the ‘80s

    Light pink outdated bathroom vanity and wallpaper.
    In My Own Style

    For In My Own Style founder Diane Henkler, color is a good thing—but not when it’s pink wallpaper reminiscent of decades past.

    After: All Up To Date

    Updated bathroom with blue and white wallpaper and marble topped vanity.
    In My Own Style

    Color still reigns supreme in this bathroom, but this time it’s a bright and timeless blue that takes the space right into the 21st century.
