 Bathroom Remodel: Budget Friendly

Santa Monica Bath Remodeling Companies

Whatever your budget may be, there is always a way to upgrade your space. Whether you
are looking to remodel your master bathroom or guest bathroom, there are plenty of areas
you can focus on modernizing. A well remodeled bathroom will see to it that you are
never late on important issues such as Santa Monica post office hours. Today we will
discuss four upgrades to focus on when remodeling your guest bathroom without
breaking the bank.

Replace Your Vanity

First and foremost is your sink and vanity space. If your current vanity is outdated or
contains chips in the porcelain bowl, it needs to be refreshed. Luckily, you can find a
variety of inexpensive vanities on the market from $100 to $200, allowing you to budget
accordingly. Consider installing a smaller vanity that takes up less space as this will help
create an illusion of a more spacious bathroom. If your existing vanity is in decent shape,
consider refreshing its look with some paint and new hardware!

Walls

Clean up those bathroom walls and brighten them up with a new coat of paint. If there is
any old or obsolete wallpaper lurking around, remove it. Removing wallpaper can be
tedious but it does not cost much. There are products available to help remove wallpaper,
but warm water mixed with vinegar makes for a wonderful solvent to help remove
stubborn wallpaper and adhesive. It is amazing what a crisp and clean paint job can do
for a room.

Flooring

If your current flooring in the bathroom is in good shape, consider leaving them as is. A
good polishing of the current grout and floor can really help it shine. However, if they are
completely outdated and need to be modernized, consider installing groutable tile. You
can choose the style, color and pattern of your tiles, as well as the color of the grout you
use. Let's say you're updating a 100 square foot space, this upgrade can be completed
from $100 to $200 dollars, depending on the materials you choose to use.

Finishing Touches
The finishing touches of completing a bathroom remodel consist of the minor details that
make major differences. Below are the "extras" that you do not want to skip out on.

o Light Fixtures: Replace any old and outdated fixtures with a more contemporary
piece. You can purchase affordable fixtures for the bathroom anywhere from $15
to $30, and they can really make a difference.
o Mirror: Evaluate the current mirror hanging in your bathroom. A simple mirror
replacement can make all the difference.
o Hardware: If you did not need to replace your vanity but still want to modernize
it a bit, consider replacing the hardware. You can purchase new drawer pulls, door
knobs, and even a new faucet and handles to help update your space.
o Storage: If you downsized to a smaller vanity but still want additional storage,
there are a few options. Add some floating shelves to hold hand towels and
bathroom décor or mount a bathroom wall cabinet above the toilet.
