The bathroom is often the most neglected room in the house. It's the functional, utilitarian space that sees you at your worst and rarely gets any love in return. It's where sad, dingy shower curtains go to retire and where countertop clutter multiplies with a mysterious, chaotic energy. We accept its fate because the thought of a "bathroom makeover" conjures up terrifying images of demolition, dust, and spending a small fortune. But here's the secret: you don't need a sledgehammer to breathe new life into your space. You just need a few ridiculously smart, shockingly easy upgrades. We've found 24 of them that will help you transform your bathroom from a sad beige box into your own private sanctuary.
