You’ve decided that it’s time for your bathroom to be remodeled and given a new lease of life. You also know that you don’t have enough money to remodel your bathroom. Instead, you need to be sensible and stick to your budget to get a beautiful bathroom.
You don’t have to be worried, there are many ways you can make your bathroom perfect on a budget. You could even be adding value to your home by updating your bathroom. Not only will you save money but you’ll also get a beautiful bathroom and increase your property’s value. Let’s get on with it!
Your budget is the first thing you need to consider. It is important to know how much money you have available. You should consider cosmetic changes only if you have a very small budget. These are the most affordable. You can make larger changes, such as changing the wall tiles or altering the bathroom or shower. Your creativity and budget will all play a part in this decision. These tips may help you get started.
Expensive Countertops
Granite countertops look great and are very affordable. You don’t have to choose a particular color if you are determined to get one. You can save money by not being too picky about the color you choose.
It is possible to buy countertops that are damaged but not perfect. The countertop will cost less if there is more damage. This is important because the countertop could sustain damage where fixtures and fittings are being attached.
Another option is to get rid of countertops entirely and upcycle an old dresser. This is a popular trend and is very affordable. Simply drill the holes in the top of an old dresser, and then treat the wood with water repellent. If you don’t have the budget for granite, this could be an option.
Paint, Paint, Paint!
Paint is the most cost-effective way to transform a bathroom. Paint can be time-consuming because of the fixtures in the bathroom. You will also need to ensure that the paint is water repellent and mildew-resistant.
Limit the amount of tiling you use
A whole room can cost a lot to tile, so limit your use of tiles to cut costs. You could use only floor tiles or a small area of tiles on the walls and then paint everything else. To make an impact, you don’t necessarily need to use tiles everywhere. You could also try to source cheaper recycled tiles or look for discontinued ceramic tiles if you have the time. You can only do a small amount of tiling if you want something more dramatic like natural stone tiles or high-gloss porcelain tiles. This will also save money if you have someone to put them up. A cup of tea and some chocolate cookies can go a long way, so don’t be afraid!
