Budget Bathroom Remodeling

The kitchen might be the heart of the home but the bathroom is often the brains. You go there to relax, get some space and feel good. A beautiful bathroom makes every long soak or rushed morning wash up a pleasure while a dingy and dated room makes each trip a hassle. Putting together a beautiful and functional bathroom layout can be quick, easy and done on a dime with a few quick home tips.

Inexpensive Fixture Updates

Tearing out the tub to put in a replacement can cost an arm and a leg, but there are other bathroom fixtures you can update on a much more modest budget. Installing an undermount bathroom sink opens up more counter space and gives you a clean fresh look.

Adding some simple storage features can minimize that counter clutter and give you a bathroom that gleams. Changing out the towel racks, faucets and shower curtain hangers helps update the total look, without a lot of time invested in the revamp.

Decorative Updates for DIY Lovers

New building materials make it easier than ever to change out the walls or update the tiling in your bathroom. With small tiles, you could spend days, or possibly weeks, redoing even a very small bathroom. Larger size tiles make it possible to cover a lot of ground, very quickly, making this one of the top home tips for a wash room makeover. There are large format tiles big enough to act as a fireplace surround, so translating those tiles to a bathroom means a lot less work for the same effect.

You might be able to do the entire bathroom with less than 20 tiles.

Why Go for a Large Tile Makeover?

Smaller tiles let you create beautiful and unique back splashes, but they also have a lot of grout, are difficult to clean and maintenance can get expensive. With larger format tiles, you get:

  • An easy to clean bathroom.
  • Few, if any, grout lines to worry about keeping white.
  • A lower cost alternative to traditional tile.
  • Fewer issues with leaks and damage to the tiles.

Finishing up with Finishes

Small touches are often the difference between a bathroom that shines and one that makes you rush through every trip. Not every bathroom has enough space to accommodate a soaking tub and separate shower stall, but a nice shower curtain can brighten up any space. Adding in some track lighting along the vanity mirror is another one of the top home tips for a bathroom remodel. The added lighting is always welcome, and it helps make the room feel a little larger. Everyone has different esthetics, so be sure to look at lots of design ideas. Decorative towels, bath mats, vanity organizers and dozens of other small items can really take your bathroom to the next level.
