Bathroom Renovations On A Budget

Tips on updating your bathroom without spending a lot of money

Remodeling or updating a bathroom can be one of the most expensive projects in your home. The good news is that you can give your bathroom a fresh, new look without spending a lot of money. Updating your bathroom with accessories is a quick and inexpensive way to give your bathroom a new look along with universal functionality.

Michelle Rohrer-Lauer, expert interior designer from Michelle’s Interiors, has some creative, cost-saving ways to transform your bathroom:

Paint is a great way to rejuvenate any room. Changing the paint on your bathroom wall or even the vanity set with a fresh coat of paint can spice up a room and create a new look.
Replacing light fixtures can be a great way to give your bathroom a bright new look. Even just a new set of lights over the vanity can make a big difference.
Buy a new shower curtain, bath mat and accessories to freshen up your bathroom. Look for items that are dramatically different in color and style from your previous decorations.
Changing cabinet knobs and using unique shower hooks are simple and cost-effective ways to add flare to your bathroom.
Replacing your old towels with new towels can change the look of your bathroom. Select contrasting colors that visually pop when hung against your newly painted walls. Roll up towels and place them standing up in a basket for a colorful and interesting accent.

If you have old metal shelving sitting around, re-purpose it for the bathroom. Paint the shelving with a glossy color or spray paint and use it for towel and toiletry storage. Also you can add scented candles to the shelving to create a warm feel.
