And while our bathroom renovation is modest and family friendly, it has its own unique flair as well. Our simple, yet chic, farmhouse-inspired look is basic enough to work inside any home, but with a few thoughtful details, it\u2019s also distinguished and refined.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/08\/KILZ-Blog-September-Inspo-DIY-Bathroom-You-Cant-Wait-to-Show-Off-Mold-Mildew-Gallon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/KILZ-Blog-September-Inspo-DIY-Bathroom-You-Cant-Wait-to-Show-Off-Mold-Mildew-Gallon.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/KILZ-Blog-September-Inspo-DIY-Bathroom-You-Cant-Wait-to-Show-Off-Mold-Mildew-Gallon-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the initial labor\u2014removing the drywall, fixtures, bathtub, etc.\u2014we were able to prime the old, brown walls before applying a fresh coat of paint.

Natural light from the window made it easy to build upon the brightness in this space with finishing touches from the fixtures, tile, lighting, and d\u00e9cor. Lastly, the sliding glass shower door creates clean lines, beautiful transparency, and an overall modern feel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8883\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/08\/KILZ-Blog-September-Inspo-DIY-Bathroom-You-Cant-Wait-to-Show-Off-Finished-Bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/KILZ-Blog-September-Inspo-DIY-Bathroom-You-Cant-Wait-to-Show-Off-Finished-Bathroom.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/KILZ-Blog-September-Inspo-DIY-Bathroom-You-Cant-Wait-to-Show-Off-Finished-Bathroom-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/KILZ-Blog-September-Inspo-DIY-Bathroom-You-Cant-Wait-to-Show-Off-Finished-Bathroom-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To update an older bathroom, you\u2019ll want to first consider the scope of the project.
