Budget Bathrooms For First Time Buyers

A bathroom doesn’t need to be totally regenerated in order for it to look great. With a few tweaks even the smallest of budgets can create a totally new bathroom without actually changing much at all. The thing which sets precedent for the remainder of your bathroom is the colour choice, going for a more neutral tone leaves this as a blank canvas and therefore guaranteed to be timeless and withstand any new trends as they come and go. If you fancy something a little different then the use of citrus colours such as lime greens can work extremely well in a bathroom to give it a whole new lease of life, revamp the room and open up the area. Lime greens also work very well in smaller rooms as they enhance the natural light expanding the appearance and opening up the space.

New showers and bathtubs can be extremely expensive, but new taps are not. By looking into new taps, such as modern square chromes, you can give the appearance of a whole new bathroom suite when you haven’t changed a great deal at all. Shower curtains are becoming very out-dated and don’t bring a lot to the decor of a bathroom, but shower screens do; you don’t have to spend a lot on a shower screen, and can simply opt for a plain screen, frosted glass or design of your choice.

Re Tiling a bathroom doesn’t have to be expensive; with many DIY stores offering discounts on bulk buys and tiles typically being inexpensive the budget doesn’t have to be huge to have retiling as an option. There are many tutorials online of how to tile a bathroom properly and many sources of information available, so you really can’t go wrong. Tile paint is very cheap, and very often the results are just that, sometimes it is better to spend a little extra for a much higher quality result.

You can turn your bathroom into a project and venture out to craft stalls and markets in the search of cheap furniture, such as vanity stations or ottomans which could be sanded and painted to be a stunning focal point in the room, with a tiny expenditure and something you will be proud to show off. You could also paint your one piece in a vibrant or bold colour, this is guaranteed to add a new flair to an out-dated room.
