Chic Apartment Bathroom Makeover Tutorial

I have been living in my home for almost 5 months now and I was finally motivated to spruce up my shared bathroom. When I first moved into this rental with my boyfriend he had been sharing it with a roommate. Decorating was last on their priority list.


That made me even more excited to tackle this bathroom and make it fit for a lady and company to use. I love having people over. I was slightly embarrassed of my dated bathroom.


Since my boyfriend’s family will be coming to visit us in March I used their visit as an opportunity to get started with this bathroom makeover project.


I am a renter, therefore I had to get creative with my bathroom decorating. When I first thought of this project I wanted to paint the walls. At the end of the day, that thought just seemed like a daunting task. I have painted walls before and I needed a better solution that would be easier to “undo” when we move out of this home.


I got out of my normal behavior patterns and tried a new approach at decorating the walls.

Peel and stick wallpaper seemed like a fun way to make this room look a little more classy. I also knew I wasn’t a fan of the bathroom vanity and medicine cabinet finishes. My next plan of attack was to use woodgrain contact paper to cover them both.


Those were going to be the biggest transformations.


Some other things on my punch list were…






  • Add some new small cohesive decor
  • Clean up/declutter the countertop
  • Create some new storage
  • Incorporate my favorite Softsoap® liquid hand soaps.
