As with any home makeovers, updating your bathroom need not be a costly exercise. Obviously, knocking down walls and adding new windows would be an expensive way to improve any room in your house. However, to renovate your bathroom without having to sped too much money is actually a lot easier than you might have first imagined.
Read on to discover a few ideas that could spruce up the smallest room in your home, without breaking the bank.
New Mirror
More often than not, a bathroom mirror tends to be quite small. Just big enough to see your face within its reflection, ideal for shaving or fixing your hair in. More often than not it is attached to a cabinet and dimly lit or badly positioned, and therefore it is not adding as much to your bathroom as it could. Mirrors are a great asset to any room, because they can increase the perception of space and make a room look slightly larger than it actually is. Ideal if your bathroom is on the small side. Plus they can also give the illusion of light. For example, if you position your mirror on the opposite wall to a window sunlight can shine onto the mirror and be reflected throughout the room, making your bathroom appear bright and airy.
New Fittings and Fixtures
Updating your bathroom fittings and fixtures is an easy and inexpensive way of improving your outdated bathroom and giving it a new lease of life. All you have to do is call a plumber from a reputed company such as Pascoe’s or anyone near you and tell them the problem and along with the problem getting fixed it also increases the value of the house. There are so many styles, colours and materials available and adding a new soap dish, tooth brush holder, towel rail can easily bring your bathroom up to date.
New Towels
Adding a burst of colour to your bathroom by changing your towels is possibly one of the easiest ways to change the look of your bathroom. Once you settle upon colour, you could then use that same colour to buy some matching bathroom accessories to decorate shelves or window sills with.
Get Green Upgrades
When updating your bathroom, don’t forget to redesign with the environment in mind. Low-flow toilets, sinks, shower heads and negative shower pumps will not only help you conserve water, by using it more efficiently, but they can also save you money. Of course you do not have to buy brand new to give your bathroom a make over, you could upcycle or recycle items instead. There are so many bargains to be found on second hand selling and buying sites. Also, if you are crafty you can gets lots of inspiration from Pinterest for reusing household items such as mason jars for storage. Plus using vintage light fixtures, old pieces of barn wood for shelves, or even an old mirror above the sink, means that whenever you use something old instead of something new, you are not only saving money but reducing your consumption too.
Redecorating or Regrouting
Sometimes just a new lick of paint or replacing some tiles can really make a difference in your bathroom. Mind you, there is nothing worse than old grout which can make a bathroom look shabby. Therefore, deep cleaning the tiles and grout could be a quick fix in improving the way your bathroom looks. Of course you could decide to hire a professional to scrape out the old grout and re-apply the new which, while easier and possibly quicker, would be more costly than doing it yourself with a grout removal rake to scratch out the grout as well as the grout applicator tools to re-apply. 
However you decide to make over your bathroom, there are always lots of ideas and suggestions on the internet to inspire and show you how to get it done without spending too much money.

Green upgrades are a great idea! You should definitely get LED lights in the bathroom as they are great for energy saving. And although spending money on a low-flow toilet flush or energy-saving shower head sounds counter-intuitive, it can save you a lot of money in the long run!
i was about to say something similar to Sophie but she beat me to it.
That said, a combination of something she said, I just installed an LED mirror from the site below, best thing I’ve ever bought for energy saving. I don’t need to turn on all 10 downlight LED’s every time I walk in the toilet at night, the mirror is enough and it doesn’t blind you!
Not to mention its a great mirror!
Keep it up Jenny.
