1 – Paint it
The biggest game-changer in this fantastic RV bathroom makeover is definitely the paint. In fact, with such a small budget couldn’t believe it’s the same bathroom.
If you are painting plastic tubs and sinks, the priming is key. By using epoxy or enamel paint, you can get a beautiful, lasting finish without worries it flaking off later.
2 – DIY Faux Tile
This is what I did with my tiny RV bathroom. I painted it white and then draw the tiles with a golden permanent marker. Easy, cheap, and most of all, absolutely light-weight. Read more here!
Another fantastic way of doing this is to use tile stencils. Read a great tutorial from Remington Avenue here.
3 – Use Peel and Stick Tiles
These Peel and Stick tiles from The Home Depot look like authentic tiles, but they are light-weight and super easy to install. What a difference!
Here Jessica from @thelifeofweeks has expanded beyond the backsplash and used the peel and stick tile on all her walls. Looks fantastic! Make sure to click on the arrow to see what it looked like before.
Some of my favorites from Amazon:
4 – Change the faucet or paint it
Avenue Laurel has updated their faucets easily with paint.
5 – Go for a simple color palette
You can make your RV bathroom look less tiny with a simple and coherent color palette – a basic principle is to pick no more than 5 colors.
6 – Wallpaper
If you are after a big impact, try wallpapering your RV bathroom. Don’t feel like you are restricted to use a small pattern – sometimes the wow factor can actually make your bathroom look bigger! If you are worried, try on just one wall first.
7 – Make your RV bathroom look less cluttered
Decluttering not only makes your bathroom organization easier, but when you also “declutter your labels”, it makes a massive difference to the feel of your whole tiny RV bathroom.
8 – Add plants
Usually adding more stuff into almost claustrophobic places doesn’t work, but plants are an exception. Look at this inviting bathroom by Lee Ann and swipe to see the before picture – what a lovely transformation!

15 – Match your towels or dye them
One way to spot a luxury bathroom is matching towels. If your towels are already pretty old and mismatching color, but still usable, try dying them like Sweet Unwrapping Life did (see below), read more here.
If your towels are not as soft they used to be, try washing them with a cup of vinegar and then baking soda – you’ll have lovely, soft towels again.
