We're all guilty of making snap judgments about other people based solely on the condition of their bathrooms, even though we don't spend much time there every day. Nevertheless, the bathroom tends to be one of the most crucial spaces for us to decide whether or not to buy a property.
Most buyers will be attracted to a well-kept, fashionable bathroom and will be relieved not to have to pay for the renovation themselves. Of course, having a beautiful bathroom is another perk of owning a property.
Some homeowners renovate their bathrooms for a lot of money, but we think you can make an attractive, calming space for a fraction of that. Thus, these are our best pieces of advice for an inexpensive bathroom renovation.
Simplify Your Storage
Your bathroom can feel more like a wellness refuge when clutter is removed. Consider fitting in an affordable tall storage cabinet made of mildew-resistant materials in place of cramming closets and countertops with toilet paper, towels, and other hygiene supplies. You'll appreciate the organization and simple access to your necessities, but it will also serve as a means of keeping everything dry and smelling good.
Upgrade Your Mirrors
Beyond just telling you that you look good, bathroom mirrors have other uses. Large mirrors can give the impression that your bathroom is larger than it actually is and can reflect more light overall. There are mirrors on the market that can do even more than just look good. For example, fog-free mirrors with LED lighting that can be adjusted will improve your morning routine and prevent clouding from humidity after showering.
Keep plumbing in place
Maintain the plumbing setup you currently have. When renovating a bathroom, major plumbing changes or new water pipe installations will blow your budget. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not move your drainage or water supply. Consider more affordable options in place of replacing your existing toilet, sink, shower, and bathtub.
Think about these low-cost bathroom remodeling suggestions:
● Rather than replacing the toilet entirely, consider changing the seat and lid.
● Install a new system to update your shower.
● Instead of installing a tiled shower, install a prefabricated shower.
● Change the shower curtain you currently have or install a new glass door.
● Make a walk-in shower out of your bathtub.
Rethink your Bathroom Lighting
Replacing outdated and inefficient bathroom lighting fixtures with more contemporary options is both affordable and simple. When it comes to your bathroom vanity, you might want more all-around light coverage. There are plenty of contemporary options available with multiple lights and brightness levels to improve your visibility while you're standing in front of the mirror. There are many different styles, mounts, and finishes available for bathroom lighting; your neighborhood home improvement store should have multiple models on display that are ideal for every aspect of your bathroom.
