If your bathroom is in need of a renovation but you are feeling the pinch in the wallet, some bathroom design ideas for renovating on a budget will help you revitalize your bathroom while leaving enough left over so that you do not break the bank. Bathroom features that can be easily upgraded or repaired range from new paint and tile floors to a shower door replacement or electrical upgrades. When you are working with a smaller renovation budget, it is better to focus on one or two bathroom features rather than trying to change the entire bathroom on a low budget. Choosing which one or two features to upgrade will depend on your lifestyle and what gives you the most satisfaction while you are in your bathroom, but focusing on just these one or two things will make for a significant impact on your bathroom that you will enjoy.
Replacing your shower door
Shower doors come in many different designs and shapes which means that you can choose a shower door to replace your shower curtain that reflects your tastes. A shower door is also highly visible which means that it will have an effect on the feel of your entire bathroom, making for a cost effective bathroom renovation that is easy to do
Bathroom cabinets on a budget
Adding cabinetry to your bathroom is both functional and can mean a dramatic change of appearance. With many stock cabinetry design options to choose from, you can select from various styles that suit every style of home and bathroom. Stock cabinetry is also relatively easy to install by the savvy DIY homeowner and it makes for excellent storage options to reduce bathroom clutter and drastically change the layout of your bathroom with little effort
Replacing light fixtures
Adding a dimmer switch to your bathroom lighting is a good idea for changing the feel of your bathroom depending on what you are using it for. Bright lights in the morning so that you can easily see through the haze of the night before can transition to low light in the evening for a relaxing bath after a work day Tile floor for the bathroom
Installing a tile floor in your bathroom is fairly easy to do with some basic tile setting skills and tools. The bathroom tends to be a much smaller space, so you are less likely to make mistakes that will compound into design disasters like in other larger rooms in your home. Scouting local flooring stores for sales on tiles can mean huge savings on tile and if you are a DIY homeowner, you can replace your floor for very little money while enjoying the benefits of a very different design.
Painting bathroom walls
Painting bathroom walls is the easiest, least expensive budget renovation that you can do. Choose some colours, prepare the walls and dramatically alter the appearance of your bathroom for the cost of a few litres of paint. The best part about applying paint as a renovation idea is that if your colour selection does not quite work out, you are not stuck with a costly renovation.
