One thing I wanted to remodel pretty much immediately after buying a house was kids’ bathroom upstairs. While it was a perfectly functional bathroom, it lacked a soul.
I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on it, so I dug into DIY bathroom remodel projects. To be clear: I’ve NEVER remodeled a bathroom before, only painted walls once before and couldn’t lift much at the time either. Yet, I’ve managed!

How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost?
The cost of bathroom remodeling will really depend on you. I didn’t change a bathtub, sink or floors as I felt it’s still good enough.
Depending on what do you want to and the products you use the cost will vary. To remodel my bathroom I spent about $400.
This included everything starting from brushes and protective floor coverings, tapes, paint thinners and other things you might already have at home. I also admit I got way too much colorful paint – I could have gotten away with $50 less.
Inspiration for Kids Bathroom Remodel
I followed the rule have fun, but don’t get too wild. I didn’t want things to look too busy, left room for trial and error and decorated for the moment.
I didn’t want to go all crazy, as I still remember my parents were really proud of my childhood room. While my carpet (was indeed cool when I was 4 or even 10, it became slightly embarrassing when I was 14. This is why I concentrated on decor I can change easily later, like paint, towels, cupboards and curtains.
I originally had two designs in mind (below), but quickly realized that I had to adjust my expectations to the type of cupboards I already had. They weren’t flat.
The location of storage spaces, bathtub and utilities was also an important thing to consider.

After renovation I also added a learning tower, so my little one can just come in and brush his teeth on his own. If you’re looking for a good learning tower, that’s the one I have.

Looks awesome! I might do something like this myself

Old bathrooms are full of potential safety hazards like cracked or chipped tiles, uneven floors, lead paint, mold and mildew, and more. A bathroom remodel is the perfect opportunity to take care of all these safety risks and add additional safety features such as anti-slip flooring, grab bars, handheld showerheads at the same time!
