Refresh your space without draining your wallet. Here’s how to give your bathroom a glow-up with reclaimed materials from Home Reno Heaven.
Let’s face it—bathroom renovations have a reputation for being expensive. But with a bit of creativity and the right materials, you can revamp your bathroom without breaking the bank. At Home Reno Heaven, we see a constant rotation of bathroom fixtures, tiles, mirrors, vanities, and more—all donated and waiting for a second life.
Here’s how to give your bathroom a budget-friendly upgrade using materials from HRH.
1. Replace That Tired Vanity
Preloved vanities are one of our most popular items. From compact corner units to full-size double sinks, we often have gently used options ready to install. You can also grab an old dresser or cabinet and convert it into a custom vanity—just cut out space for a sink and plumbing.
Tip: Pair your new vanity with a faucet and mirror from our fixtures section for a coordinated (and affordable) upgrade.
2. Add Character with Tile
Small batches of tile come through HRH regularly—perfect for accent walls, backsplashes, or a refreshed shower surround. While you might not find enough to redo an entire floor, you can create eye-catching mosaic accents or frame your mirror with a tile border.
Pro Tip: Bring your measurements and an open mind—you never know what unique pieces you’ll find.
3. Update Lighting Fixtures
Swapping out dated light fixtures is one of the easiest ways to modernize a bathroom. Look for wall sconces, over-the-mirror lights, or even pendant fixtures at HRH. Most just need a quick clean and a fresh bulb.
Bonus: Use LED bulbs to improve energy efficiency while you’re at it.
4. Refresh the Details
Don’t overlook small changes—they make a big impact.
- Cabinet hardware: New knobs or pulls = instant style boost.
- Towel bars & hooks: Upgrade function and aesthetics in one go.
- Framed mirrors: Find a unique shape or style to replace builder-grade basics.
These items are often in stock at HRH for a fraction of the retail price.
5. Add Shelving or Storage
Reclaimed wood + brackets = easy DIY shelves. Perfect for towels, toiletries, or plants. We often have everything you need in store, including the tools to install them.
