This $20 DIY Fixes a Bathroom’s Dated 2000s Beige Tile

Homeowner Lily Tsutsumida transformed a dated beige‑tile bathroom using $20 worth of dark‑green contact paper to create a bold checkerboard pattern. The DIY solution replaced costly tile removal and offered a moisture‑resistant finish that held up surprisingly well. Alongside the contact‑paper tiles, the couple repainted walls, upgraded lighting and fixtures, bringing the total remodel cost to roughly $300. The project demonstrates how inexpensive, temporary materials can deliver a modern look without a full renovation.
