By Chris Carr


If you are thinking of tackling a bathroom renovation on the cheap, planning is the key to a successful outcome. Gather as much information as possible on all the fitting and fixtures available on the market and their price. To create a relaxing, calming and functional bathroom will require some planning. It is not an easy room to renovate but cheap bathroom renovations are possible with a little thought. To create a nice bathroom environment cheaply will essentially come down to choosing the right fixtures that will blend with a good colour scheme. By shopping around, you may be able to select the lighting, fixtures and accessories from one supplier as a package deal. The design of you bathroom will be determined by the space available for the renovation. Bathroom fittings and fixtures are available in a variety of different sizes and shapes and prices, therefore you need to make sure that you've allowed enough in the budget to ensure the project doesn't cause you any financial hardships.

Flooring is one of the most important elements in any bathroom. It has to be waterproof and non slippery. Most modern bathrooms have stone, or ceramic tiles and in some cases marble, and while they look fabulous, they can be expensive. A cheaper alternative to that is hardwood flooring that is able to be polished and sealed with polyurethane. If the bathroom is on ground level then sometimes polished concrete is an effective alternative.

If the fitting are in good working order, maybe all they require is to be cleaned and polished, thus saving more money from your budget. If the taps and shower head really does need replacing, then research the best price option at the local hardware. They do run specials from time to time and you may just be lucky to strike the right time as your bathroom renovations progress. Replacing the curtains with a blind may be a cheaper option for you. Or alternately a readymade curtain may replace tatty blind. There are always cheaper options available; you just have to keep an eye out for sales and bargains.

Painting the walls a bright bold colour will be complimented by new towels and new curtains on the window. If the tap wear is still in good working order, then maybe a good clean and polish is all they will need and this in turn will save you money.

It is an excellent idea to install a ceiling exhaust fan. This draws moisture out of a small room and eliminates the chance of mould appearing. Correct lighting is important. If there is a large mirror over the vanity then a few LED lights are reasonably affordable and relatively easy to install and would look classy. It is essential that all electrical wiring is behind a wall to eliminate any moisture creeping into it. Bathroom remodeling offers elegance and enjoyment to any type of house and raises the value of your residence if you thinking of selling your home in the future.

If the budget allows expanding the bathroom space and separating the toilet from the bathing area is another alternative if you already have a toilet installed in the existing bathroom.. If you do not have any idea how to go about this there are any amount of ideas in home decorating magazines.
