Let’s be honest, renovating any part of your home is not cheap, and renovating a shower and bathroom can really be expensive. Even the slightest upgrade could empty your pockets. However, it’s possible to give your bathroom a makeover without breaking the bank. Keep on reading to learn about tips for renovating a bathroom on a budget.

How to Save Money Renovating a Bathroom

One of the major ways people waste money while updating their home is by not having a clear plan. 

Before you set out to make any renovations, it’s essential to consult with a professional designer or architect who will help you plan sort out dimensions. Although hiring a professional may be expensive, it will save you time and money in the long run.

Here are five more tips on saving money remodeling your bathroom:

Add a Pop of Color

Paint can make a serious impact on the look of your bathroom. Adding a pop of color can add new dimensions to your space. You can even coordinate the paint to match tile work and other bathroom fixtures. To save even more money, do the paint job yourself instead of hiring contractors.

Change Up the Bathroom Mirror

You’d be surprised how much a fancy mirror can upgrade the look of a bathroom. A nice wide mirror frame and hide and ugly cracks or other wall imperfections. The great thing is, you don’t even have to spend a fortune. You can shop around and find beautiful mirror frames for a low as $20. Design experts recommend doing some thrift shopping or taking a visit to your local antique shop to find gorgeous gems for cheap.

Upgrade, Don’t Replace

Most utilities in your bathroom can be very costly to replace, so make upgrades to them instead. For toilets, consider sprucing it up with a new lid or cover. For sinks, you can swap old faucet and hardware with newer ones. Not only are these small upgrades affordable but they give your bathroom an updated look.

If you want to makeover to your bathtub it’s a good idea to use custom acrylic inserts. This typically costs anywhere from $850 to $1,400 -- depending on your bathtub. 

Clean and Revitalize Old Tiles  

Grungy or worn tiles can make a bathroom look unappealing. Replacing your tiles can be very costly. However, cleaning and revitalizing them will make a world of difference in the look of your bathroom and save you money. 

Invest in Granite

If your vanity is the main piece of your bathroom, it’s a wise investment to replace the countertops with granite. Even if you don’t make major changes to your bathroom, a new slab of granite will give your bathroom that much-desired wow factor.

A New Bathroom Doesn’t Have to Cost a Fortune

With these budget tips, renovating a bathroom can be easy and affordable. Your dreams of a beautiful bathroom worthy of a spot in Home’s Digest can be a reality.
