Our home was built in the late 90’s, we have done some updates in various rooms over the years, but the powder room has been neglected. We finally decided to remodel it and boy it was long over due. I love the way it turned out, I waited for some deals and the DIY definitely saved us money! Check out our DIY Powder Room Remodel before, progress, and after images below.

Tips before you start your DIY Powder Room Project
#1 Create a Design Board
This would include paint colors, furniture, fixtures, flooring, and accessories. I just used a simple app called Canva.
#2 Get paint samples.
When you’re searching for white paints, consider what color whites are going to be in your room. There are more warmer whites and cooler whites. Another thing to consider is how the paint color will look throughout the day with natural light, and the artificial light.
Ultimately, we selected Sherwin Williams Pure White
#3 Visualize your space.
As your begin to source your products, measure out your space on the walls so you can visualize your space with the product dimensions.
#4 Order your selected items.
Know the square footage of your space and order extra (in my case that was tile, grout). Keep in mind the delivery dates of your products so you aren’t waiting for items to arrive. Prepare for possible delays, supply chain is never a guarantee.
#5 Figure out your order of your remodel from demo to completion.
Basically, you’re the project manager for this remodel, so coordinating the process is key. For our powder room this was: demo, check subfloor conditions, prep walls, paint walls, install tile flooring, paint/cut/install base boards, set toilet, set lighting, mirror, vanity (which we needed to customize as the drain pipe didn’t align properly with the back of the vanity). If you don’t know what to do, consult with others that have done it, do your research, and you can always speak with an expert for advice.
