Bathroom decor and essentials are often overlooked. When you take a trip to your local Target or Bed Bath and Beyond you quickly notice the items you need for your restroom can add up very quickly. However, with a little creativity and a trip to your local thrift store, you can find amazing items for your bathroom that will not only save you money but also add a unique touch to your space. In this blog post, we’ll explore some budget-friendly, second-hand finds that you can score at a thrift store for your bathroom.
Mirrors are essential in any bathroom, and you can often find them at thrift stores for a fraction of the cost of a new one. Look for mirrors with interesting frames that can add a touch of personality to your bathroom. You can easily update a plain mirror with some decorative trim to make it a focal point in your bathroom.
Knobs and Handles:
Gently used knobs and handles are great items to pick up at your local Goodwill. People often donate these after renovating their bathroom. You can even find door knobs, hinges and other hardware that is practically brand new.
Storage Baskets:
Keeping your bathroom organized is crucial, and storage baskets can be expensive when bought new. However, thrift stores are often a treasure trove of baskets in all shapes and sizes. Look for sturdy baskets that can hold towels, toiletries, or even toilet paper. You can also find woven baskets that can add a boho or rustic vibe to your bathroom decor.
Decorative Accessories:
Thrift stores are a goldmine for unique and quirky decorative accessories that can add character to your bathroom. Look for items like vintage soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, or apothecary jars that can hold cotton swabs or bath salts. These items can not only be functional but also serve as charming decor pieces in your bathroom.
Artwork:
Adding artwork to your bathroom can instantly elevate its aesthetic, and thrift stores often have a selection of framed art at affordable prices. Look for pieces that are small and can fit in your bathroom space, such as botanical prints, vintage posters, or even small paintings. You can also consider repurposing old frames by painting them or replacing the artwork with a print or photo that complements your bathroom decor. The great thing about buying cheaper, second hand art for your bathroom is that you won’t be as worried about steam causing excess wear and tear or damage on these items.
Linens:
Towels, bath mats, and shower curtains can be expensive when purchased new, but you can find gently used ones at thrift stores for a fraction of the cost. Look for linens in good condition that match your bathroom color scheme or go for a mix-and-match approach to add some visual interest. Make sure to thoroughly wash and sanitize them before using them in your bathroom. If the thought of buying these items used seems too icky you can also find brand new, never been used linens and mats occasionally at your local thrift store.
Fixtures:
If you’re looking to update your bathroom fixtures, such as towel bars, hooks, or even light fixtures, thrift stores can be a great place to find them at a discounted price. Look for fixtures in good condition that match your bathroom decor style. With a little bit of cleaning and possibly some DIY updates, you can have stylish and functional fixtures without breaking the bank.
Furniture:
If you have enough space in your bathroom, adding a piece of furniture like a vanity, a shelving unit, or a stool can provide both functionality and style. Thrift stores often have furniture items that can be repurposed for the bathroom. Look for items with good bones that can be updated with a coat of paint or new hardware to match your bathroom decor.
In conclusion, thrift stores are a great resource to find budget-friendly finds for your bathroom. With a little bit of creativity, you can score unique and functional items that will save you money and add character to your space. So next time you’re in need of bathroom essentials or decor, consider checking out your local thrift store first. Happy thrifting!
