Once you’ve determined the scope of your project, it’s important to set a budget and stick to it. This amount will serve as your guide for what can be done in the bathroom and give you an idea of how much cash flow is needed during this time.
Without proper tracking of costs, it’s easy to go overboard with spending if not careful, a budget will help you keep things in check!
Keep your plumbing in place.
One of the most expensive parts of a bathroom renovation is labour, so reducing your need for it can save you a lot of money. The best way to do this is by keeping your plumbing in place and updating your furniture in their existing locations.
This makes the renovation quicker and easier, breathing new life into the space at a lower overall cost.
Upgrade existing furniture.
If you’re on a particularly tight budget and your bathroom furniture is in good condition, updating your fixtures and fittings is a quick and easy way to refresh the space. With a wide variety of fixtures and fittings available in a range of finishes, replacing your existing fixtures with more modern ones can make a dramatic difference to your space.
And you don’t need to stop there. Further enhance the space by changing your handles, towel rail, mirror and lighting too. You could even update your tiles and flooring at a relatively low cost.
Consider budget friendly brands.
Be open-minded. There are many high quality, high design, affordable bathroom brands available. Opting for a budget friendly option may well make it possible for you to create the bathroom of your dreams well within your budget. Being transparent with your retailer about how much you have to spend will allow them to work with you to find the best bathroom solution within your budget.
