An Easy On the Pocket Renovation for Your Bathroom

Cheap remodelling that too for a bathroom? You almost frown! But it’s true. A good bathroom is the one that has features and amenities that best match the lifestyle you live. If you follow the tips given below, you are sure to have a clean, bright, and functional bathroom at real cost-effective rates.

Light it up: A bathroom is the most frequently used room in a home. Light up the best of the features, whilstadding handiness by increasing the lighting scheme. Don’t go for the usual lights and designs instead replace them with catchy colours to give a more spacious look to the bathroom and install dimmers. Also, make the most of the natural lighting. Skylights and glass-block windows will let the sunlight in, but still provide adequate privacy.

Go for resilient flooring: Ceramic, marble andstone tiles are superb choices. They give a complete makeover to the bathroom without you feeling guilty. They are long-lasting and water-resistant too. Moreover, subfloor heating coils make these hard surfaces warm. The idea is to stick with materials that will stand up to everyday use and dampness.

Look for the nitty-gritty details: Don’t ignore the small details as they make the big picture. You can modernize your light fixtures, spigots, towel racks, etc. They can completely change the look of your bathroom. Furthermore, hang in a beautifully framed mirror over the sink. It is sure to make you fall in love with yourself and of course the bathroom.

Paint, paint, paint: Repainting is the cheapest and, possibly, the most effectual way to give the bathroom anew look. If you are painting it yourself, keep in mind the moisture. You will have to take care of a lot of small things. For instance, behind the window, the shower, the sinkhole, the mirror, the pot, etc. Thus, it would be a better idea to call the painter and get your work done. Moreover, invest in high quality paint with a satin finish as mould develops easily in the bathroom, and humidity and temperature change often.

Remember, just because your bathroom is small in size, it does not mean it has to be limited in style too.
