5. Update the Vanity
The bathroom vanity is often the focal point, but replacing it can be costly. Instead, refresh it with budget-friendly solutions:
- Paint & New Hardware: A coat of chalk paint and updated knobs can make an old vanity look brand new.
- New Countertop: Instead of expensive granite, opt for butcher block, laminate, or even a DIY concrete top.
- Sink Swap: Replacing just the sink bowl (rather than the whole vanity) gives a fresh look for less.
Budget Range: $100–$500 (depending on how much DIY you do).
