When it comes to furnishings are few rooms that are fully the impact of a bathroom or kitchen, where the dress. There is something wonderful about taking a tired old bathroom and making it seem bright and shiny again. Most people, however, cringe at the thought of a bathroom remodel fearing the absolute worst when it comes to their economic situation, when all is said and done. The good news is that small steps can lead to big changes in rooms as small as bathrooms. These small steps do not need high prices to be extremely effective.
My suggestion with a bathroom is to assess where the worst gaps and eyesores can be. Painting the walls can be a good place to start, but you must first decide whether you have plans to eliminate any cabinet. This is a space where it is best to save the painting for later in the project rather than the beginning. Vanity in many bathrooms fills a good portion of real estate. Gone are the days when chunky cabinets were popular choices for bathrooms. Now people want the bathrooms to have the look of a wide-open spaces. This means that cabinets and vanity is becoming smaller rather than larger.
Most homeowners find that the removal of bulky cabinet in the bathroom often leads to a certain degree of overlap required for drywall and noticeable gaps in the flooring. These will be resolved fairly quickly, which means that there is now a good time to choose the color options for the walls and floor. Smaller bathrooms do well with lighter colors on the walls to give them a larger appearance. Use towels and decorations to bring in darker accents, but keep the walls and bright. Also choose paint that can withstand the high humidity in bathrooms.
Floors in a bathroom must also be able to withstand high heat and humidity, as this room is rather abusive to floors and walls. For this reason, no hardwood floor choice for most bathrooms. Ceramic tiles are an excellent choice, and not very expensive. There are also some laminates that are designed to respond well to a high humidity which is found in a bathroom. Choose flooring that will accent the walls and the general feeling of d ้ cor you hope to achieve when decorating your home and bathroom, so it's not something you want to change often.
The toilet in a bathroom is fairly simple to buy, but I recommend leaving it where it absolutely must be changed. This is not a simple procedure for beginners and experts are expensive. In this case, "if it is not broke do not fix it" is an excellent motto to live by. The same goes with shower. But if you simply can not live with your shower (or bath), which is, try to hire professionals to come in and resurface your bathtub. It is much cheaper than buying a brand new tub, and want your looks bright, shiny and as good as new. Again, you can avoid the high cost of a plumber, despite the fact that you pay for professionals to resurface.
To top things off, you will be amazed at the difference that new knobs, fixtures, and hardware can do in a bathroom. Add a few lights, subtle lighting and some decorative touches your own and you have a brand new bathroom without spending a king's ransom to do it. The shower curtain and 'guest' towels should be your biggest splurge in your bathroom, they will tie the room all together. You shower curtains and towels will mix colors and patterns to create the overall mood, you should be hoping to achieve in your bathroom. And can all this happen one step at a time no matter how low your budget may be.
