Bathroom upgrades can be costly when they turn into a major remodel, but there are several quick fixes that homeowner can do themselves to get bathrooms looking new and updated for an affordable price.
Bathrooms and kitchens are the most commonly remodeled rooms in the home for a number of reasons. They’re the most frequently used rooms so they receive more wear and tear than the lower-traffic areas of the house, and they’re the rooms that hold most of the major appliances and fixtures that eventually need replacing.
The bathrooms and kitchen are also the rooms that add the most value to your home when they are new or modernized. A home with a recently renovated bathroom and kitchen is more likely to sell faster, for a higher price, and with a higher ROI than homes for sale with in which these rooms are outdated.
Kitchen renovations can become quite extensive and aren’t easy to do without the help of a professional remodeling company. Bathrooms, on the other hand, can see some major improvements with a few quick, easy, and affordable fixes that you can do mostly on your own. Here are ten affordable bathroom remodel ideas to get you started:
1. Fresh Paint: This is a low-budget remodeling task that can quickly make a room look new again. While it’s smart to hire a professional painting company when you’re redoing your entire house, a smaller bathroom without a lot of surface area can be painted by the homeowner in less than a day’s time with minimal supplies.
2. Add Vintage Furniture: Instead of adding expensive built-in drawers, shelves, countertops, and vanities, hit the local antique stores or thrift shops for furniture you can refinish and install yourself. If your bathroom has some unused spaces, you can usually find some small, unique pieces of furniture that make a near-perfect fit. Searching sites like Craigslist for used items and garage sales in your area can also land you some nice, affordable used furniture pieces that need minimal to no refinishing.
3. Replace Linens: The is the easiest item on your list. Replacing your old towels, shower curtain, window curtains, and bath mats can make a big difference and give you the chance to start over with a new color scheme.
4. New Fixtures: This is another task you can do easily on your own. Replace any and all of the following fixtures for an updated look to go with your new design: lighting, toilet paper holders, towel racks, hooks, faucets, mirrors, trash cans, and even shower curtain rings.
5. Replace the Sink: If you’re going to put a chunk of money into anything it should be a new sink, toilet, or bathtub, whichever you’re in need of updating the most. But the sink is usually the most affordable, in the greatest need of replacing, and can be a DIY project. Drop-in sinks are available in a range of prices and allow you to replace both your sink and countertop as one unit.
6. New Toilet Seat: Instead of spending around $500.00 on a whole new toilet, a new toilet seat can be an acceptable alternative that will cost you under $100.00. After all, it’s the part of the toilet you use the most and it receives the most wear and tear.
7. Refinish or Repair the Bathtub: Replacing the bathtub can be the single most expensive purchase in a bathroom remodel, so it’s best avoided when you’re trying to save money. Worn out tubs can be refinished, cracks and nicks repaired with matching porcelain filler, and old or moldy caulk torn out and replaced.
8. Redo the Floor in Vinyl: While hardwood and tile floors have far surpassed vinyl in popularity, it’s still a good choice for an inexpensive floor that will help make your bathroom look new. Vinyl can actually be more durable, longer lasting, and easier to replace. Since bathroom floors are often largely covered in bathmats, focus your new floor design on them instead.
9. Decorate and Accessorize: You can keep this one simple, but adding a few accessory touches can really change the atmosphere of a room. Pick a style or theme and have fun searching the local antique stores for good finds at an affordable price.
10. Don’t Call the Plumber: Try to avoid making any major changes involving plumbing or electrical work in a low-budget bathroom remodel. But if that’s the highest priority in your bathroom remodel, don’t try to do the work yourself. It may cost you more in the long run if you have to call in a professional to finish what you’ve already started.
