You’re sick of looking at it. You cringe a little each time guests excuse themselves for a brief time out. And yet you simply can’t justify the cost of a full-blown bathroom remodel.
So don’t! Tackle a few truly affordable upgrades and you’ll instantly have a fresh perspective of how your Budget Friendly Bathroom can look and feel, even on a conservative budget.
-
Faucets
A new bathroom faucet will call attention to itself and add a fresh and polished look. How about a polished chrome faucet with a brushed nickel finish? Add an impressive frame to your large bathroom mirror…small tiles are very much in fashion. The best light for a bathroom is natural light, so uncover any windows that might be covered. To ensure privacy while allowing in sunshine, consider adding window film.
-
Doors vs. Curtains
Now that you’ve got better lighting, consider ditching your old curtain and installing a shower door. You’ll enjoy more morning sunlight and drier bathroom floors, thanks to your newly sealed shower. If you decide to keep the curtain, pick out something new, along with a fluffy bathmat and rugs that will feel good underfoot.
-
New Toilet
Sleek water-saving toilets once were a novelty that carried hefty price tags. Now they’ve become commonplace and far more affordable. This is an easy and obvious improvement that not only updates the look in your bathroom, it also can save tons of water.
- Tub to Shower Conversion
If no one in your home takes baths anymore, be bold and swap out your idle tub for a new shower with all the little extras you could want. That includes bench seats, front and back shower heads, built-in shelving, and a no-slip floor. And that’s just for starters.
- Make it Functional
Wall-hung or pedestal sinks help make a tight space look open, but where do you stash the towels and other bathroom paraphernalia? Adding a wall-hung towel rack above the toilet will keep the space open but provide a fair amount of storage. Glass shelves are another alternative to keep toothbrushes, cotton swabs and other necessities organized. Even the containers you choose can add personality, a bit of helpful distraction and a level of cohesion to your bathroom.
