Spring Reset- Bathroom Transformation

Spring Bathroom Transformation

I love for every room in our home to feel clean, calm, and put together. But if there’s one space I absolutely cannot dwell in when it’s disorganized—it’s the bathroom.

Both of our bathrooms are long overdue for a remodel. But right now, that’s not where we are—and you know what? That’s okay. Even without knocking down walls or splurging on a luxury shower, I’ve found a few simple, budget-friendly ways to make our bathroom feel fresh, functional, and peaceful again. If I can’t expand the space or bring in that dreamy spa tub just yet, the next best thing is transforming what I  have to work with. And honestly? A good deep clean and a few intentional swaps go a long way.

So, if you’re in a similar place and longing for a bit of transformation, here are 3 simple hacks I use to create what I call a Spring Bathroom Transformation—no remodel or big spending required:

1. Deep Clean Like You Mean It

Start fresh with a serious scrub-down—no shortcuts!

• Clean behind the toilet, under the sink, and inside drawers

• Wipe baseboards, light switches, and vents

• Use natural cleaners or your favorite go-to for a fresh, clean scent

• Don’t forget mirrors, light fixtures, and cabinet handles

  
  

2. Clear the Clutter + Rethink Storage

Out with the old, and organize what’s left.

• Toss expired products and anything you no longer use

• Use small bins, baskets, and drawer dividers for neat storage

• Group items by type (hair, skincare, hygiene, etc.)

• Keep everyday items easily accessible and tucked away

  
  

3. Swap the Decor, Refresh the Vibe

Small changes can completely transform the feel of your space.

• Replace the shower curtain with something light and fresh

• Use soft, coordinating towels to brighten the room

• Add a soap dispenser or matching bathroom accessories

• Bring in a plant, a simple candle, or a small piece of art

  
  

Bonus Hack: Mold-Fighting Plants

Did you know that some houseplants can help fight bathroom mold? According to a video I watched, some plants can reduce mold by up to 90%! I haven’t tried it yet, but I plan to (we sometimes get mold in our upstairs bathroom). In addition to that, I love plants!

Here are three to consider:

• Ferns

• Peace Lilies

• English Ivy

  
  

If you’ve struggled with moisture or mold, this could be a natural way to add freshness and function. But do your research; as I mentioned, I haven't tried it yet.

💡 Don’t Forget to Journal Those Wins

Yes, cleaning your bathroom is absolutely journal-worthy. Resetting your space is a form of care for your home and yourself.

As you check off those to-dos and breathe easier in your refreshed space, take a moment to reflect. How did it make you feel? What energy are you bringing into this new season?

Even small progress is worth recording. A clean bathroom today might provide the clarity you need for something bigger tomorrow.
