How to Renovate Your Bathroom on a Budget

If your bathroom is in dire need of an update but you’re a little restricted on funds, this blog is for you. Keep reading for budget-saving tips on where to save money and find out how to renovate your bathroom for as little as possible. 

1. Paint the Bathroom

Adding a fresh coat of paint is one of the most affordable ways to refresh your bathroom. Choose light and bright colours to make the space feel larger, modern and more inviting. White, soft greys or pale blues can give your bathroom a refreshing spa-like vibe. If you're feeling adventurous, try an accent wall with a bolder colour, like deep navy or forest green. Remember to use moisture-resistant paint to help prevent mould and mildew. 

2. Upgrade Your Bathroom Fixtures

The smallest updates can have the biggest impact. Replacing the bathroom faucet, showerhead, and towel bar can give your space a modern feel without needing a major renovation. You can also replace old, worn-out shower curtains with something fresh or consider adding a glass shower door to open up the space. 

3. Re-grout the Tiles

Re-grouting and cleaning your existing tiles can make them look as good as new without having to find money in the budget for tile replacement. Re-grouting will give the tiles a fresh appearance and help protect against water damage. Peel-and-stick tiles offer a more affordable DIY option if you want a fresh look.

4. Give Your Vanity a DIY Upgrade

You’ll save money when you work with what you have. Instead of replacing your bathroom vanity, try your hand at a bathroom vanity refresh. A simple coat of paint or fresh wood stain can instantly update its look. You can also swap out the door hardware for more modern knobs and pulls. If this is where you want to spend most of your budget, add an affordable laminate countertop that can mimic higher-end materials like granite or marble.
