Paint your bathroom
A fresh coat of paint can update a bathroom in a way no other thing can. It only takes a coat or two to change the wall color and if you have paint equipment in the house the renovation cost becomes even less. For the ceiling and walls, invest in mold and mildew-proof undercoat and paint as they provide additional protection for bathrooms. Cover any discolored surfaces and update worn-out fixtures with paint. With the right paint, you can give your ceramic tile a new look, refinish a tub, and refresh a medicine cabinet.

Incorporate New Plumbing Fixtures
If you want to reduce expenses as you renovate your bathroom, get white fixtures such as tubs, toilets, and sinks. They are less expensive than other fixtures and very easy to maintain. You can also save a lot by getting white tiles for the floors. If you are afraid that the room might look dull, splurge a little on a mosaic tile border and choose affordable accents like bright window shades, colorful towels, and bold artwork.

Change the Lighting
One easy way you can transform your bathroom’s look is by changing the lighting. You can remove the fixtures and hang a chandelier over the vanity instead. Replace unappealing bulb strips around your bathroom mirror with stylish scones and create an instant update. You can also insert can lights that can be dimmed with a switch to create a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Buy Shiny Hardware
Bathrooms have a lot of hardware including towel bars, toilet flush handles, sink faucets, and cabinet knobs. Dedicate a portion of your budget to new shiny hardware and give your bathroom showroom-quality shine. Choose pieces with more style and personality and enhance the look, feel, and function of the fixtures.
