'Renovate' your rental bathroom

Creating a stylish place you're proud to call home when you're renting can be hard work — especially in the bathroom. Although you can't change the dated tiles, or treat your marked walls to a fresh coat of paint, there are ways to 'update' your rental bathroom without causing backlash from your landlord. 

Follow our easy guide to rental bathroom renovation ideas below: 

Add a rug

Don't like your rental bathroom tiles? Add an outdoor rug to your space.

Ladder storage

Will fit in small, narrow spaces or even over the toilet if you remove the lower rungs. Then you have somewhere to hang towels and wash clothes from.

Insert ALL the plants

Bring the outdoors inside and add some plants to your bathroom to make it look fresh and vibrant. 

Invest in lush towels 

Although you don't have control over your dated tiles, an easy way to spruce-up your bathroom is by adding on-trend towels.

Add some personality

Add a bit of 'you' to your rental bathroom is with a sassy slogan like this bath mat.

Hide your dirty laundry belly baskets

Create a luxe beauty station

Head to your local Vinnies and pick up a vintage silver serving tray, then fill it with your favourite hand wash, creams and a candle for instant day-spa feels. 

Shower curtain statement

Okay, so your rental is so old you're still rocking a shower curtain. Make the most of what you've got with a beautiful printed shower curtain like this cactus scene from Urban Outfitters.
