How to Make the Most out of Your Low-Cost Bathroom
Low cost does not necessarily equate with poor quality. You can enjoy years of reliable service from low-cost bathrooms without being bogged down with constant maintenance and repairs. What is more, with some forethought and planning, you can get the same amount of joy and pleasure out of your cheaper bathroom than someone enjoys with a much more expensive bathroom. It is all about perspective, and what you decide to do with your space. If you want to get the most out of your low-cost bathroom, there are inexpensive ways of doing so. You do not need a big budget to transform your bathroom into a relaxing space that acts as an escape from the hustle and bustle of rushed modern-day life. Let us look at how you can make the most out of your low-cost bathroom without breaking the bank.
Beautiful Tiles
Adding tiles to a bathroom is always a great way to immediately boost its ambience, but tiles can be expensive, especially when you hire a professional installer to lay them for you. To save money, limit the tiled surface area and rather than tiling both the floor and the inside of the shower stall’s walls, instead focus on the most noticeable areas. Alternatively, you can simply tile a horizontal strip along the wall, and paint the rest of the wall with a complementing colour. If you have set your heart on an expensive, artistic tile, consider using it as an accent alongside a cheaper tile. Not only will this make the artistic tile stand out more, but you also save a lot of money by only using a few tiles here and there.
Save on Countertops
A popular trend in South Africa is to splurge on granite countertops. As bathroom counters are so small, the investment may be fairly low when compared to what you would spend on a kitchen counter. So how can you save even more? Take a look at the colour. Neutral colours like brown, tan and light beige tend to be more popular, which means they also have a higher price tag. To save money, consider casting your colour net a little wider.
It is All About the Paint
If you do not have a large budget, repainting is one of the cheapest and best ways to give your low-cost bathroom a new look. A word of caution: it will always take more time than you think. Why is this? Even though your bathroom may be the smallest room in the house, you are going to have to paint slowly and carefully around the window(s), shower, sink, tub, toilet, and mirror, as well as the wall corners and the floor. This takes time and a lot of patience, so make sure you keep this in mind when planning your bathroom painting project.
Update Fixtures
Updating fixtures requires you to consider the little details. You can easily and affordably update light fixtures, sink faucets, drawer pulls, and towel racks for a relatively low investment. While these items may seem insignificant, updating them can make a huge difference to your bathroom’s look and feel.
