The bathroom is one of the most often used, but often underappreciated rooms in your home. When we think of decorating our homes, the bathroom is often one of the last spaces that get a facelift. Here are a few easy DIY projects that will freshen up your tired bathroom.

4. Make your own bathmat

Give your wet feet some love by making a homemade bath mat out of wine corks. Not only does gluing these corks together create a soft, cushy mat, but it’s also naturally mold-resistant. The hardest part of making it is finding the 175 corks needed. It does make a pretty good excuse to buy wine, though.

10. Re-tile the shower

Whether you’re doing this out of necessity or just because you want to give your bathroom a new look, changing the shower tiles is one of the easiest ways to give your bathroom a facelift. Plus, it doesn’t have to be that expensive. Use more expensive mosaic tiles as focal points and then pair it with cheaper 12-inch x 12-inch tile and your new design will pop!
