From 2010 to 2030: How One Couple Transformed Their Dated Bathroom on a DIY Budget
Decorating a home has now become a rather costly affair. Even the simple act of repainting, which we used to casually refer to as 'just a fresh coat of paint', has transformed into a massive budget item due to the costs of materials and labor. As of 2026, sprucing up a home or undertaking renovations requires a serious investment strategy.
A couple shared their bathroom renovation, which they accomplished with a budget of only 35,000 TL. The transformation of the bathroom garnered much admiration, while the cost sparked excitement among those considering a similar project.

If the tiles in the video weren't broken but merely painted over with tile paint, a budget of 35,000 TL could indeed be feasible. Applying a special epoxy or solvent-based white/grey paint over the old pink tiles can reduce the cost of breaking and laying new ceramics by up to 80%. If instead of completely replacing the sink cabinet, only the doors were covered or a more affordable ready-made module was purchased, it could fit within the budget. Black rail spotlights and a modern mirror greatly enhance the visual impact while keeping costs relatively low.
However, if the following works were carried out in the bathroom, it would be impossible to complete within a budget of 35,000 TL:
Tile Breaking: The labor, debris disposal, and new ceramic purchases alone would exceed 40-50,000 TL.
Plumbing Change: Changing the position of water and waste pipes entails a significant additional cost.
Shower Cabin and Toilet: A high-quality shower cabin with a black profile and a built-in reservoir toilet set alone start from 15-20,000 TL today.
