(Newswire.net — May 8, 2017) — What differentiates a house from a home is the comfort and cosiness attached to the latter. Every room, every corner, every item should help you live a more comfortable life.
This comfort is not exclusive to the living room and bedrooms only. Therefore, your bathroom should also feature in your home remodelling plans. However, you should do so with a minimum budget.
These simple tips on how to remodel your bathroom will give you the maximum value without having to break the bank.
Renovate the essential accessories
Every typical bathroom has essential accessories like bath tubs, showers, shower fixtures, and sinks. Instead of replacing these essentials, it’ll be best you consider renovating them.
This idea involves some calculations. Ensure you’re not spending more by doing a market research and price review before considering a redo. You could have your old tubs and showers professionally refined. This doesn’t cost so much to do.
However, refinishing other essentials like a shower fitting is expensive because no one touches them without attaching a personal irreplaceable value to them. And contractors take advantage of this by requesting a high premium.
Do the little touches
The little touches you put in your bathroom might seem insignificant but they are important when remodelling your bathroom. Never take your eyes off them.
Light fixtures, drawer pulls, sink faucets, towel rack etc. They are simple but delicate to getting a totally enhanced feel. Strategic placement of your bathroom vanities is also important but most people often place them anywhere they can find a space without minding whether it fits or not.
The fact that some accessories are high-priced doesn’t make any difference, but your creativity could help you get the best out of the low-priced accessories.
Polish the tiles
The cost of laying new tiles is often on the high side. For me, I would rather restore the shine of my bathroom tile by giving them a sparkling new look. However, if you feel that replacing the tiles will do the magic, consider using fewer tiles too save cost.
Since contractors charge by square metre, consider tiling the high impact areas like floors and the lower walls of your bathroom. Then paint the rest. If you have an artistic and creative sight, you could mix your tiles usage and save lots of mega bucks.
Do low-end upgrades
Purchase fittings that’ll save you money now and in the future. Low flow toilets, shower heads and sink will do the duo benefit of economic water use and procurement cost.
There are plenty of ideas online. Use these to your advantage by employing used materials and repurposing them to suit your bathroom.
There are many things to do with money aside refurbishing your bathroom. But you must not deprive yourself of some comfort. If you upgrade your bathroom and make it more valuable, it will add more value to your house.
Buy used accessories
The prices of new bathroom accessories are usually off the hook. Good news is, you can get nicely constructed bathroom accessories on Etsy and eBay. On these platforms, you’d find lots of amazing fittings like coloured vintage Tupperware turned hanging lamps.
