There are many different aspects of home renovation, bathroom design. You don’t necessarily have to change your bathroom design to get a fresh, updated look. For this home renovation, we changed the look easily and cheaply.
The steps we took for this home renovation, bathroom design were:
I removed the wallpaper and painted the bathroom with fresh white paint. We use a white paint called Swiss Coffee.
Glaze the bathtub and shower tiles in white.
The old sink, vanity and medicine cabinet have been removed and these items have been replaced with updated furniture.
Replaced old shower door with new clear glass shower door.
Purchased and installed new sink and shower fixtures along with new towel racks.
Re-tile the bathroom floor with an updated white tile.
To cut costs with your home renovation, bathroom design, consider glazing your bathroom tiles instead of ripping out old tiles and installing new ones. This bathroom had blue tile in the shower and reddish-brown tile as a trim. We brought in someone who not only cleaned the tiles but also glazed them white and created a whole new look for the bathroom.
Another cost-saving measure we took was that we purchased a dresser and medicine cabinet that weren’t 100% perfect. The dresser had a small dent in one corner of the cabinet and the medicine cabinet had a mark on the side. Both of these blemishes are difficult to spot unless pointed out. As long as these blemishes aren’t easily noticed, sometimes you can get lucky and find exactly what you need at a great price. There are many kitchen and bath retailers that not only sell new products, but also have a back room where they stock less than perfect products available for sale.
Since this house only had one bathroom, we bought quite a few towel racks to maximize the number of towels that could be hung at one time. Our idea was that, most likely, there would be more than one person living in the house. The fixtures we bought were cheap but modern looking. Department stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s have a large selection of bath and shower accessories at very competitive prices.
So, don’t be intimidated when it’s time to update your home with your home renovation, bathroom design. You don’t always need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to add value to your home with an updated bathroom.
