4 WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR BATHROOM ON A BUDGET

September 20, 2016

Updating your bathroom is a worthwhile project with a 70% average return on investment, according to Remodeling magazine.

Here are 4 expert tips to help you create a beautiful bathroom while being mindful of your budget:

1.  The Vanity – Anchor Your Look

A new vanity can instantly update the look and feel of a bathroom. Vanities are easy to install and come complete with sinks, countertops and hardware.

Try Home Decorators Collection Claxby Vanity with Mirror for a vintage aesthetic with a relaxed and cozy look. For a more contemporary style, this Home Decorators Collection Abbey Vanity and Mirror  will give your bathroom a more modern feel.

Both of these vanities are under $300, giving you a big-impact upgrade at a great value.

2.  Fixture Upgrade – Create a Custom Look

Adding an upgraded faucet and new light fixtures can create a whole new look – all for under $300. Oil-rubbed bronze and brushed nickel are two popular finishes that can make a huge impact in your space.

3.  Fresh Wall Color – Connecting the Theme

A fresh coat of paint can brighten up any room. Shades of gray and white mixed with classic tiles and countertops create a versatile space with a classic look that will endure for years to come.

New shower tile can also make a big impact without requiring a big investment. Adding tile to your shower’s accent wall is an easy way to transform a tired bathroom into a tranquil space.

4. Hardware Swap – Polish off the Look

If you don’t have the time to install a new vanity or remodel your space, switching out hardware is an easy and inexpensive upgrade.

Minimalistic hardware like the Liberty Webber Satin Nickel Cabinet Pull and Knob and others in brushed nickel or chrome can give your space a modern look.
