If you’re looking for a rewarding and satisfying project then look no further than remodeling your bathroom. Since you spent so much time there, from primping to showering, to brushing your teeth, it’s important that you feel good in this area of the house.
The more stylish and functional you can make it, the more you’ll get out of your bathroom, and the more you’ll be able to resell your home for when the time comes.
Yet not all of us have the funds to be able to create the bathroom of your dreams. The good news is that creating a fabulous bathroom can be done even on a tight budget. Here are some of the most practical tips to help remodel your bathroom —even if you don’t have a lot of cash on hand.
Set a Budget
The first step is setting a realistic budget for yourself. The more you can establish exactly how much you can spend, the more you can prioritize which areas you’d like to improve on. For example, after you make a list of everything you’d like to do, prioritize it and price it accordingly.
Compare each price to your budget, and choose which parts of the remodel you absolutely can’t live without, and the ones that you could tolerate sacrificing. This will help you avoid overspending, and stay on the right path as your project goes on.
You could find yourself wasting a lot of time on things that you can’t actually bring to fruition eventually because of your budget limitations. So before you dive in, know exactly how much money you have to work with.
Repaint
One of the most cost-effective ways to make your bathroom look entirely new is to paint it. Repainting everything from your walls to your cabinets can totally transform your space without having to replace major areas.
Ideally, you should choose light colors that will make the room feel more spacious and ultimately airy. For your pictures, consider refinishing them instead of buying new ones. There are plenty of DIY kits available that will help you refinish on your own, and give them a fresh new shine for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Add New Lighting
New lighting is your best friend when it comes to illuminating and refreshing your bathroom. The right lighting can totally enhance the overall ambiance of the room, not to mention its functionality. You want to have a combination of moody dim lighting for those moments when you feel like having a bath, yet also well-lit bright LED lights for when you need to see your face up close or do your makeup in the evening.
