DIY Small Bathroom Makeover | decorating the windowless bathroom I've always hated 🛁

I spent 5 days and kept to a budget of 200€ to makeover our small bathroom! To be honest, I think our bathroom would feel a lot bigger if it had a shower instead of a bathtub (I'm not a fan of baths v( ‘.’ )v ) but since this is a rental space, we make do with what we can! Hope you enjoy the video :3

P.S. The wall behind the toilet holds the chimney, so we aren't able to drill into that wall. Which is why we have a rental-friendly no-drill adjustable shelving system :) I also tried to hunt for a black one but to no avail, so spray painting it was!

I don't think I've ever called a bathroom beautiful before, but this is absolutely the most stunning makeover I've ever seen. I absolutely love your taste in home decor, you're really talented. I hope one day I can decorate my future home like this ❤️

[cloudyhills]

Happy to be done with another room makeover in our cosy apartment! ✧(◕‿◕✿) Just wanted to say that this video was rrrreally hard to shoot & edit because of the lack of windows/natural lighting (or even any indirect lighting T_T) in the bathroom, but I tried my best to recreate the actual irl colours in the video. Hope you ✨

p.s. we didn't change the shower curtain because we require a much longer measurement than the standard ones out there, and for this size the designs are 😐😐 the one we had was already the best choice!

I can’t even describe how wonderful you made that bathroom. It’s amazing how you made it so super cozy and also functional. I find most videos here on yt with makeovers feel like they are mostly for the aesthetic and probably aren’t as tidy/cute as people actually go about their lives, but with every remake video you’ve made it still feels like a functional home AND a Pinterest board

[mariarazon]

When you mentioned no windows, I felt a little claustrophobic but this upgrade is lovely that it made me forget that it is windowless. Thank you for sharing ❤️👍

[kailanybastos]

i loved it!! it’s insane how just little adjustments made the bathroom look soo much cozier and prettier. 💖💖

[carylbarnett]

I really enjoy your simple films - no long chat/explanations, just a few subtitles. I watch a lot of home improvement films on YT, yours are relaxing.
I’m soon to be 71 yrs young and live in a rented, one bedroom, retirement flat. I would love to do all the ‘up cycling’ but don’t have anywhere to do it. I’d like to sand down an old gate-legged table & re-stain it 🤷🏼‍♀️. I do what I can, within the limitations. Keep showing us your sweet films. 👏🏻👏🏻

Your makeover videos are so calming! And strangely touching as well 🥲… never thought I would tear up over a bathroom makeover. Thank you for making such beautiful videos!

[Yaro]

Very smart tip about trying the stain in the room it is meant for because of different lighting, that one will stay with me, thanks! :)

[aoifelalor]

Such a great idea adding the wooden shelves! And you are so so talented at painting wow!

[wallflower_bhie]

You have a good eye for design. hoping to see your home tour. 😊

[joxnhfb]

[dorotheebechtold]

Wow, was für eine Veränderung 😍 Toll geworden! So gemütlich... 🙋‍♀️😃

[debbie]

Wow, this is just gorgeous. Very inspiring. I love how much attention to detail you put into your room makeovers, and the cozy vibe is just delightful! xx

[sommerjohnson]

the undersink storage knobs did look like eyeballs 😂😂

[mommygarcia]

Wow ! It looks absolutely beautiful so calm & relaxing ! Great job girl !

[mellostation]

Praying you have an amazing exhaust fan so all of your hard work isn’t affected 🥺🙏🏼

[conniehall]

Looks great. Who needs a window ? All interesting scenery

[gingerbearrr]

amazing! you're so good at working with what youve got and transforming them completely with such subtle methods! I am DYING over that diy beaded towel hanger. Loooove!

[elizabethhale]

Somehow all of these makeovers make me feel as though I could live there forever😍

[JIYASINGH]

After watching all of your makeovers I have come to a realization that you don't need big apartment for it to be beautiful I've seen lot of people who when have to buy a small apartment say that it's so ugly the rooms are so small you can't do anything there...blah blah but you changed my perspective if one has that creativity you can Make anything work and besides for only two people this apartment seems fair I mean why would you buy a 3 bhk for just 2 people even if you have the money! It's a waste and now I am so inspired that I am gonna definitely revamp my bedroom once my exams over...!
THANKS A LOT...LOVE YA❤❤
