8 Non-Permanent Bathroom Updates for Rentals

If you are living in a rented property, it can be tricky to spruce the place up and make it feel like your own. The updates you can make are limited since most rental agreements will not allow you to change the paint or add new fixtures to the wall. However, there are non-permanent solutions that won’t lose you your deposit! If you have an uninspiring bathroom in your rental, our guide will show you 8 reversible ways to make it feel like home. Just make sure you hire a professional for anything involving plumbing or electrics.

 

  1. Start with a good clean!

A good scrub can make a big difference to your bathroom. If you're living in a rental, the chances are your grout and fittings have been left discoloured from years of tenants gone by. Our blog section will show you the correct way to clean your bathroom suite, taps, tiles, and grout to make the room look as good as new. You'll be amazed by the transformation!

 

  1. Taps out

Swapping out your taps is an easy way to refresh your rental bathroom. It is a relatively straightforward and temporary change that can be easily reversed whenever it’s time to move out. As well as making the room feel ‘newer’, it is also a fantastic way to instantly update your bathroom's style without building work or spending lots of money. We recommend a black tap for a contemporary look. Bolder than chrome but just as timeless, black will add definition and drama to your bathroom without overpowering your space. If you want to add glamour and warmth, go for gold or brushed brass taps.

No matter what finish you choose, make sure you buy a tap suitable for your basin. For example, you will need a mono mixer tap for a basin with one tap hole. To find the perfect tap for your space, click here.

  1. Don’t overlook the waste

The style potential your waste should not be underestimated! Upgrading your waste is a great, rental-friendly way to update your bathroom. We offer a range of styles and finishes, from modern designs to the classic plug and chain – click here to shop the full collection. If you can, choose the same finish as your taps to keep everything consistent and stylish. If you need help finding a plug or waste compatible with your basin, speak to our team.

  1. Change your showerhead

Swapping out your showerhead is a simple but effective way to instantly refresh a rented bathroom, and a welcome change if your current one isn’t working as well as it should. Choose a showerhead that ups the style factor in your bathroom. For example, if you want a more modern look, you can change your old white showerhead for a sleek, chrome model.

We have showerheads suitable for all types of showers, in a choice of designs, styles, and finishes. Make sure you choose one that's compatible with your existing shower kit - you wouldn’t buy a fixed shower head if you have a riser rail kit, as this would require drilling holes in your wall and changing your plumbing. If possible, purchase a showerhead that also matches your taps for a stunning, consistent look.

  1. Light it up

Want to ‘brighten things up’ in the literal sense? Transform your rented bathroom by updating your lighting. We offer a fabulous selection of on-trend bathroom lighting in traditional and modern styles, from ceiling to wall lights.

Many rental properties have light fixtures that can be easily replaced without rewiring anything or drilling additional holes in the wall. Simply choose a new light that better suits your taste, unscrew the old one, and replace it with your new, better fixture; just make sure you consult your electrician before purchasing your chosen light fitting to ensure this can be done in your bathroom.

If changing your lighting fixture isn’t possible, simply replacing your bulbs can give your bathroom a completely different look. You can create the right ambience by going for warmer bulbs instead of harsh, bright ones. If your bath, toilet, and basin are all different shades of white, a cool white light will neutralise any colour variances for a uniform, crisp look.

  1. Swap out your mirror

Do you have a wall-hung mirror in your rented bathroom that’s a bit dull or shabby? Replacing this mirror for a new one will add light, dimension, and a stylish design element to the bathroom without any DIY work. Our range of chic and elegant mirrors offers a choice of shapes, sizes, and designs to complement classic and modern bathrooms. For example, a black framed mirror will add depth to a contemporary space, while a round hanging mirror will enhance a traditional bathroom. Alternatively, go for a frameless style for a minimalist look.

If you have a power outlet, you also have the option of an LED Mirror which will provide excellent task lighting that’s energy efficient and less harsh than traditional bulbs.

  1. Storage

If you have the space, adding beautiful storage can elevate a bathroom while keeping it tidy. Our floorstanding bathroom furniture means you won’t have to hang anything from the wall – perfect for a rental! Choose from our collection of vanities, storage units, and tallboys, all of which come in different sizes to suit a range of bathrooms. Whether you’re looking to store towels, toiletries, or other bathroom accessories, you can easily find a storage solution to suit your needs. Our bathroom furniture also comes in a huge variety of colours, from bright and bold to elegant neutrals.

  1. Accessories

One of the easiest and most affordable ways to refresh a rented bathroom is to update your basic bathroom accessories so they all have the same finish. When the final touches of your bathroom are all the same colour, it will tie the room together! Our bathroom accessories include toilet roll holders, towel rings and toilet brushes in many styles and finishes. This means you can buy all black or chrome accessories, for example. Before replacing a towel ring or toilet roll holder, make sure your current one can be easily removed, and the new one can be screwed into the existing holes in the wall.

Does your toilet have a flush button? Swapping it for a new one is an effective way to refresh your space. Change things up by switching from standard chrome to a black or brushed brass finish, or choose one that matches your other fittings and accessories for a cohesive look.

 

There are plenty of reversible ways to refurbish an outdated bathroom in your rental – all you have to do is pick your favourite! Just be sure to hold on to any original fittings so they can be reinstalled whenever you move out. To prevent unnecessary damage to your bathroom or fittings, we recommend consulting a professional before installing any fitting.
