6 Wonderful Makeover Ideas For Bathroom Interior On a Budget

It’s a pleasure to see a newly renovated bathroom. Unfortunately, not everyone has the budget for such extensive renovations. There are still ways to make your bathroom beautiful and modern, even if you have a small budget.

1. Get creative with your tiles

You can use designer tiles on the floors and cheaper tiles on walls to give your bathroom a luxurious feel. Handcrafted tiles can be used as accents. You can also mix them with more affordable tiles to save money and create a modern look in your bathroom.

2. Flooring

You might find the original floorboards beneath your old bathroom tiles if you remove the old tiles. You can restore them to give your bathroom a rustic look. Polishing concrete can give it a more urban look. Restoring hardwood floors or polishing concrete can be more affordable than installing expensive floor tiles.

3. Painting

You can save money by tiling halfway up the ceiling and painting the ceiling. You can repaint existing tiles and paint the roof for a new look. This is also a great way to change up wainscoting in older houses. Paint should be mould-resistant for walls and ceilings. Only use paint specifically made to paint over ceramic or porcelain tiles.

4. Refresh don’t replace

If you have a tight budget for bathroom renovations, the best option is to resurface cast iron, porcelain, or fiberglass fixtures. This will allow you to save money on purchasing new. You can do this, but it is often less expensive to replace older fixtures than hire a professional. 

Resurfacing is possible if you have older fixtures that you don’t want or need to replace. If your budget permits invest in good quality bathroom tapware, go for modern colours like gold or black, chrome is an everlasting green. Don’t splash too much; there are always affordable options available.

5. Second-hand furniture

You can replace bathroom fixtures by looking for creative alternatives to buying new ones. You can search online for used or discontinued items and even have them resurfaced by you if necessary. Vintage dressers can be used as vanity tables, and a modern basin retrofitted into the unit. You can also buy a stunning center piece for your bathroom, such as a standalone bathtub, and then choose a more affordable freestanding tap to match it.

6. Lighting

You can get better than the dull, slimline lighting that is standard in bathrooms. You can find beautiful wall lights and pendants online and in second-hand shops that match your style.
