 Best Budget Bathrooms

It may surprise you to learn that you don’t have to rip out your entire bathroom in order to get a bathroom makeover. You also don’t need a contractor in Italian marble or a never-ending budget to secure the bathroom of your dreams. In the current economic climate, affording a chic new bathroom may seem unlikely, but we’ve put together some of the best ideas to give you a gorgeous bathroom on a budget.

 Shiny New Taps Rather Than A Whole New Sink

If you’re on a tight budget you most likely don’t have the cash for a whole new hunk of porcelain. Instead, upgrade the look of your old sink with some shiny new taps. Imagine the transformation your bathroom sink would undergo with a beautiful Ice Fall taps from My Beautiful Bathroom. New taps for your sink and shower can make a world of difference to the overall look and feel of your current bathroom without breaking the bank.

 Paint Rather Than Tile

Some contractors charge a fortune to tile nowadays, and if you’re thinking of tiling your entire bathroom then you’ll need a lot of loose change. Instead, consider tiling only halfway up the wall and painting the rest. This gives you an opportunity to add a splash of colour to your bathroom too, giving it a contemporary edge that may have been missing before.

 Colour Scheme

White is inexpensive, timeless and with the right glossy finish can look sophisticated and expensive. A neutral colour scheme such as this is also appealing to buyers if you’re looking to sell. Go for inexpensive and lightly coloured vinyl flooring if you have a small space and don’t want the expense of tiles. However, if neutral’s not your thing then rich and opulent bathroom colours such as glossy black are high on everyone’s wish list. However, they don’t have to be very expensive. Instead of tearing out the sink and units you have, just replace the counter surface with a hard wearing black top and you have an instantly updated bathroom.

 Clever Lighting

It’s amazing what a spotlight can do. Shine a light in the right direction and your bathroom can be transformed from dull and shabby to sparkling and bright. Consider under-unit lighting and a mirror with lighting installed. Beams of light will illuminate counter-tops and cast flattering shadows on other aspects of your bathroom. Combine that with some shiny new taps and a strong, solid worktop and there you have it – a my beautiful bathroom on a budget.

 Leave It Where It Is

If you’re on a budget it’s best to decide against moving the toilet to the other end of the room, as this will lead to more complications and more money for your plumber. Leave the sink, toilet and bathtub where they are and instead focus on upgrading the look you’ve got. That white bathtub will look amazing where it is once you’ve replaced the tap and added some mosaic tiling around the interior wall.
