Styling your bathroom doesn’t have to be expensive—or boring! Whether you’ve just moved into your first home or want to freshen up your space, the bathroom is one of the easiest rooms to give a glow-up. At Easystart Homes, we believe in making all parts of your home feel personal, fun, and full of life—and that includes the bathroom.
We recently teamed up with Allanah from Our Little Greenhouse to create a reel packed with budget bathroom styling ideas. The goal? Add personality, colour, and functionality—all without spending more than $65!
Why Style Your Bathroom?
Your bathroom is where you start and end your day. It should feel calm, welcoming, and a little bit you. Adding colour, fun textures and playful accessories is a great way to bring joy to everyday routines. From affordable towels to cheerful bath mats, you’d be surprised what a few small changes can do.
