    26 Cheap Things To Make Your Bathroom Look Like A Million Bucks

    I think all bathrooms deserve some TLC.

    1. An iridescent privacy film to turn your bathroom into a joyous place filled with rainbows when the sun shines through. It also acts as a privacy shield from the outside world so you won't have to worry about any eyes on you while you're doing your *business*.

    Promising review: "I love this product! I live in an apartment complex and my bedroom window happens to be along one of the main walkways for the whole complex. This product looks so cute and it gives me me the privacy I needed. It was pretty easy to install and it can easily be removed if I need to relocate." —Melina

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).

    2. A set of glass jars with bamboo lids so you can leave your cotton swabs and pads out without having to stare at the raggedy packaging. 

    Labels are included.

    Promising review: "These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton swabs and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" —tara savage

    Get the set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in sets of two or three).

    3. A bottle of wood polish to get your wooden cabinets looking back to mint condition. It'll have everything looking *SO* brand-new that your guests will be wondering if you just remodeled your home.

    Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs who jumped up and scratched places, we also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were, and several other areas that were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magic eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let it sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand-new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." —Kris

    Get a bottle from Amazon for $8.36.

    4. A rotating makeup organizer because if you makeup and skincare products are the most bougie things in your bathroom, you deserve to show them off in this magnificent piece.

    Promising review: "First this is a lot bigger than I thought it would be, which is great! The spin is smooth, and it cleared my counter space that I needed back! Perfect for my skincare items, perfumes, cotton rounds, and cotton swabs!" —Rae Myers

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two styles).

    5. A tub of the Pink Stuff to remove dirt and grime from quite literally any surface, from sinks to bathtubs to even the floor! It works so well it'll be attached to your hip. For this price? You'll definitely get a bang for your buck.

    Promising review: "I bought this because of all the hype on TikTok, and I wasn’t expecting much, to be honest. I have these glass shower doors that have been water marked for a while, I usually use a Magic Eraser, but that doesn’t take them away very well. But after putting this on a microfiber towel, and simply rubbing it in, it is as clear as it was the day we bought them, I cannot believe this! I can’t wait to clean other things! I would recommend gloves, because I didn’t use gloves, and I can feel my finger is a little scratched up from the little particles that has in it." —Jennifer

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    6. A slender storage cabinet because you have that random space between the toilet and the wall (like, why did they do that???). Well no worries, because this'll slide right in and you'll be able to store your tissues and TP — yay, that space has purpose now!

    Promising review: "So easy to put together I could put it together with my eyes closed. Fit amazingly perfectly between the tub and the toilet and it has created so much more space and my bathroom is no longer cluttered because of this product." —COS45B

    Get it from Amazon for $18.30+ (available in four sizes and 10 colors).

    7. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner so you can save your arms from an unwarranted workout session. It requires no elbow grease — just spray your shower once a week, wait 8–12 hours, and then rinse with warm water. Say bye-bye to scum- (plus grime-, oil-, and mold-) filled showers, and hello to your shiny new tiles.

    Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo

    Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in vanilla or fresh scents).

    8. And a mold and mildew removal gel because having that sludge built up isn't too easy on the eyes. Just leave it on the dirty spots for 7–8 hours and with a few swipes, it'll look like you have a newly renovated home.

    Promising review: "It’s a little hard to squeeze but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn’t caulk or seal them properly and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!" —Brooklyn Nguyen

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    9. magnetic soap holder so your bar of soap actually gets a chance to dry instead of festering on the side of your tub or the dish. Plus, it'll definitely save counter space if that's something you're low on *and* it just looks so darn COOL.

    The holder itself has an adhesive and you can attach the included metal disk into the middle of your soap bar for it to work!

    Promising review: "Who knew that the solution to all of my soap bars getting mushy and gross was this small magnet? It’s aesthetic in my bathroom and holds any size soap — it really is an ingenious invention. It adhered very well to my mirror and was easy to install. A true game changer." —Irene

    Get it from Amazon for $13.59.

    10. toilet paper holder because you're tired of looking at that old plastic one. Plus it's so much easier to replace the roll compared to those springy ones. 

    Promising review: "Looks great and any accommodates any size roll of toilet paper. Bought one for both of my bathrooms!" —DeAnna H Williams

    Get it from Amazon for $11.38+ (available in four colors).

    11. A set of peel-and-stick floor tiles so you can hide that scratched up flooring that's been there for who knows how long. This is perfect if you're a renter because you can just stick these on and *BAM*, you've got fancy tiles. 

    Promising review: "These are so easy to install! We sold our house and moved into a mobile home on our land while we build a house. We wanted to do a little updating but we don't want to spend a lot. We decided to use self-adhesive flooring and I fell in love with these! The pattern and color were perfect for my bathroom theme! Installation was easy and quick. They stick great and it's been a few weeks and we've had no issues. I love the texture and they're so easy to clean! Definitely recommend!" —Heather Wine

    Get a set of 10 tiles from Amazon for $14.32+ (available in two colors).  

    12. And! A sheet of marble-effect contact paper because you simply don't have the time or money to replace your old countertops with stone slabs. Just stick these onto any surface that you want "renovated" and it'll look like you have a brand-new modern bathroom!

    Promising review: "I resurfaced my office desk with this paper and it looks really good. What I like about it is that it's waterproof (I have spilled coffee and water and it wipes up without soaking into the contact paper.) Easy to install and pretty. I just ordered another roll for my linen shelves and will be ordering more for my laundry cabinet shelves." —Amazon Customer

    Get a roll from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in five sizes).

    13. A pack of double shower hooks so you can finally get rid of the grimy plastic rings your home came with. Plus it'll make replacing those pesky curtains so much easier instead of having to fully unclasp every. single. hook. 🥵

    Promising review: "Wow. Game changer. I have to change my shower curtain liner a lot because of a humid bathroom (yes, even with a fan on 😬). Though there are greater issues in the world, why wouldn’t you want to save yourself some time with these hooks! Not having to take the curtain off each time I change the liner has really been more satisfying than I had anticipated. Added bonus are the rings themselves, the balls that were added hug the shower curtain rod so they never pop off. Something I never knew I needed either. Love these!" —Jdbouchart

    Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 13 finishes).

    14. A eucalyptus bundle that'll not only give you a relaxing, aromatherapy shower but also give your bathroom some unbe*leaf*ably cute decor.

    Eucalyptus Blooms / Etsy

    Eucalyptus Blooms is a small business based out of Charlotte, North Caroline that not only sells eucalyptus bundles but also lavender! 

    Promising review: "It took a while to ship, but it was worth the wait. It looks fantastic in my shower and smells great, too. It makes an everyday part of my routine feel luxurious! P.S. I saw this item posted on BuzzFeed, which is what inspired me to buy. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the shop received a ridiculous influx or orders from being featured on such a large site, which may explain why it took a little while for mine to be shipped. 10/10 would recommend!" —Breanna D.

    Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $12.59+ (available in three sizes).

    15. A woven storage basket so you can store your extra TP instead of having it lying out in the open. It'll add a little ~zhuzh~ to your bathroom and give it a boho-chic vibe. 

    Promising review: "Very attractive basket. Arrives tightly rolled up, but after reshaping it and letting it rest, it easily regains its shape in a short time. Nice quality. Very happy with this purchase." —MAW

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 10 colors).

    16. shower curtain that'll make the least fun place in your apartment more vibrant and cheery. With abstract shapes and bright colors, your bathroom will *pop* off — see ya later boring ol' white curtain.

    Promising review: "Super cute — perfect for my bathroom. I wanted a shower curtain that wouldn't get dirty as easily as I live in a house where everything gets dirty very quickly and it has stayed clean the few months I have had it even after a wash. Super great curtain!" —Christina

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two styles).

    17. A grout pen so you can finally cover those dark crevices stained with who knows what *chills*. Just use it like a regular marker and give your bathroom a nice little refresh. 

    Promising review: "I used this product five years ago in the bathroom floor of a house we bought. It had beautiful beige tile and hideous orange grout. After cleaning the grout with a paste of OxiClean, I applied the pen. It covered completely and I have beige grout. It has lasted without reapplying for five years. The floor is washed every week. We recently bought a vacation condo with beige tile and orange grout in the shower. I used the white pen and the shower looks brand-new. Now I ordered more for the floor." —Pamela Brucker

    Get it from Amazon for $7.50+ (available in two tip widths and in other colors).

    18. A pair of amber glass bottles to give your sink that rustic look instead of having to look at the half-empty bottle of Softsoap.

    To recreate the look above, be sure to grab some waterproof labels

    Promising review: "Exactly as pictured and truly pretty. The pumps are well-made, and fit and work perfectly. The glass is not thin — not bulky-thick either. I am very impressed with the quality and pricing. I love these and will absolutely buy them again." —Admin Math & Science

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99.

    19. And fancy reusable dispenser bottles so you can give your shower a 5-star hotel vibe with matching shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers.

    Promising review: "I love these bottles. They make everything uniform and high-end looking for a fraction of the price. They hold up amazing. I bought another set for my second bathroom." —Cindy

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in eight colors).

    20. stainless-steel rainfall shower head for a luxurious at-home pampering for a *fraction* of the price of going to the spa. You can pretend you're standing in the Amazon Rainforest but with more warmth and cleanliness. 

    View of the spout from the bottom. This one is attached from the ceiling.

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful showerhead, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a showerhead?" —Sadda Reddy

    Get it from Amazon for $24.49+ (available in five sizes and four finishes).

    21. mounted towel rack so you can stow all your towels, big and small. It'll look a heck of a lot more luxurious than having all of 'em shoved into a cabinet.

    Deco Brothers is a small business that sells home goods.

    Promising review: "Anyone with a small bathroom knows that free space is almost nonexistent, and these have been so great. We bought two so we had one for each bathroom, and we were able to get the majority of our towels up on them and looking nice (which means we freed up space in the linen closet)!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (also available in a two-pack).

    22. A set of two traceless adhesive shelves because balancing all you shower products on the bathtub rim is way too chaotic. The adhesive of these is stronger than suction cups so you won't have to worry about them falling. 

    Promising review: "I love the look and effectiveness of this product. I have tons of products on it and it is very sturdy. You're suppose to have the adhesive hang on the wall for 12 hrs prior to attaching the other piece. Love it and would definitely repurchase. My shower now feels elevated in appearance and much more spacious as this thing truly holds more than I thought." —E

    Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors). 

    23. A bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner so the next time you decide to take a bath, you're not soaking in dirt-infested water. In just as little as 15 minutes, inside of the jets will go from grimy to shiny — leaving you with clean and clear water. All you have to do is fill the tub with water, pour in the cleaner, and turn on the jets!

    See how much gunk it gets out of someone's jets on TikTok!

    Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs. 

    Promising review: "I honestly did not think this was going to work any better than some other methods I had tried. Boy was I wrong. Followed the instructions and watched in disbelief as the gunk and the grime started surfacing in the tub. Let it run its course, drained the tub, then filled it with cold water, ran the jets for 10 minutes, and it was like brand-new. Every now and then you come across a product that actually works, this being one of those. BTW it hardly has any smell, which also surprised me." —JJS in Madison

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84.

    24. A power scrubber brush to attach to a drill. A DRILL. Just pop it on the head of the drill that's been sitting in your garage and let the machine do all the work for you. Bada bing, bada boom, your shower is going to look brand new.

    Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet

    Get it from Amazon for $4.74.

    26. An anti-fog mirror to stick in the bathroom or directly in the shower. You can do everything you need to in the tub or put on your makeup right after your come out!

    Promising review: "Ive been through over 15 mirrors in the last 20 years and this is the only one that stays clear and fog-free throughout my shower. The hot water reservoir is genius and works!! Trust me if you want a fog-free mirror that will last.....this is it!!! Your last purchase." —Seth Cole
