Singaporeans are experts at maximising small spaces & saving money, right? So, before you throw your old bathroom fixtures into the trash (or kena scolded by NEA for improper disposal), why not upcycle them? Here are some fun & practical ideas to reuse your old bathroom stuff →
- Bathtub = Mini Garden Paradise
Got an old bathtub? Don’t waste it, lah! Turn it into a mini “Garden City” planter. Fill it with soil, plant some kangkong, chye sim, or even chili padi—sure can save some money on groceries. Plus, your neighbors will definitely ask, “Wah, where you buy this? So creative!” For a visual guide on transforming your bathtub into a mini garden paradise, check out this DIY bathtub garden tutorial on YouTube!
- Sink = Kampong-Style Water Feature
If you’ve got a leftover sink, transform it into a Zen fountain. Add water, stones, and maybe even some ikan guppies. Place it on your balcony, and boom—instant kampong vibes!
- Towel Bars = DIY Bag Hangers
Reuse those towel bars in your bedroom or study. Fix them to the wall and use them as hangers for your bags, scarves, or even your reusable grocery totes. Very chiu keng (practical), and you’ll feel super organised every time you pack for NTUC. Need more inspiration? Check out this guide on DIY towel racks for creative and stylish ideas!
- Mirror Frames = Retro Wall Decor
Old mirror frames can be jazzed up with a fresh coat of paint. Hang them on your walls to create a funky photo frame gallery or even a mini display for your collectibles. Got Funko Pops or SG-themed merch? Display them, lah!
- Bathtub Sofa = Shiok Netflix Spot
If you’re feeling super atas, cut an old bathtub in half, throw on some cushions and transform it into a sofa. Perfect for that HDB corner where you binge-watch your dramas. Imagine chilling there while munching on mala hotpot—confirm good vibes.
- Soap Dishes = Key Holders
Those small soap dishes you want to throw away? Mount them by the door and use them as key trays. No more “Where’s my house key ah?!” moments when you’re rushing out to tap your EZ-Link.
