It’s officially the start of 2025—an ideal time of year to upgrade your bathroom and welcome the next 365 days with a clean slate! This month, we’ve pulled together a handful of our best bathroom upgrade projects, specifically with renters in mind. These projects are designed to enhance your bathroom without making permanent changes to your surroundings. You can even take most of these projects with you to your next home, getting the most bang for your buck for as long as you need. Here’s a guide to some of our favorite renter-friendly bathroom projects:
DIY bath mat
No one likes a wet bathroom floor. While woven bathmats can get soggy and attract debris, a wooden bath mat can elevate the aesthetic of the room and divert moisture from the floor. Plus, this mat is cedar, so it’s rot-and slip-resistant.
DIY shower caddy
As most of us know, it’s all too easy for our shower products to get out of hand. This caddy is a sleek solution for adding more organization to your shower—saving space and keeping everything all in one place.
DIY storage tower
Being the smallest room in the house (usually), it’s easy to run out of space in the bathroom. With a storage tower, you can take advantage of vertical space and have something portable to tuck into a corner or move around to your liking. Not to mention, because it’s DIY, you can custom-fit your storage tower to your bathroom.
DIY tub tray
Luxury doesn’t have to be reserved for hotel stays and spa outings. Our dual-purpose tub tray elevates bath time (or breakfast in bed!) with its lightweight, collapsible surface, which provides a dry space for devices, snacks, candles—anything you may want for maximizing relaxation.
How to upgrade your bathroom fan
Many renters know the annoyance that comes with an old, noisy bathroom fan. But fear not, we’re here to teach you how to easily swap it out for a high-quality, quieter version so your bathroom stays as peaceful as possible with no damage to your ceiling.
How to install a bathroom timer switch
Lengthen the lifespan of your bathroom fan by installing a simple bathroom timer. With a timer switch, you can set the duration the fan should run and trust it will turn off automatically—reducing unnecessary use.
DIY green cleaning bleach
We’re here to help you create a happy, healthy home-–and that extends into the everyday products you use to maintain your space. An alternative to store-bought chlorine bleach, this non-toxic recipe is a powerful green solution for naturally removing stains and disinfecting surfaces.
