Bathrooms on a Budget

Bathrooms can look out-of-date and boring, but to revamp yours, you don’t need to spend a fortune on bathroom furniture, bathroom mirrors or new bathroom suites; you can revamp on a budget.

Bathrooms are increasingly important parts of our homes – alongside kitchens estate agents rank them as the most important room. But it can be daunting looking at the swish, glamorous bathroom suites and bathroom furniture featured in style magazines and makeover shows. Upgrading your bathroom to become the sanctuary you deserve however doesn’t have to cost the earth. You can upgrade your bathroom on a budget.

Bathrooms on a Budget: Try a Lick of Paint

If your bathroom is looking dreary, a lick of paint can pick it up fast. Take some time to consider the colour of your bathroom suite (most are white so you have flexibility), factor in the colour of your tiles and pick complementary colours. If, like most bathroom suites, yours is white, let you imagination go wild; bold colours can work well in bathrooms that need livening up. Stick to zesty, bright colours and avoid dark, light absorbing ones – especially if you have a small bathroom.

Bathrooms on a Budget: Shower curtains, shower screens

If your shower screens or shower doors are old fashioned, creaky and in need of a sparkling revamp, you don’t have to replace the entire shower cubicle – consider investing in a new shower door or screen. For baths that use shower curtains, it couldn’t be cheaper – get rid of your old shower curtain and opt for one that has a funky print, or shimmering design – it will add a splash of colour to your bathroom instantly.

Bathrooms on a Budget: Towels and Flannels

You don’t have to splash out on a complete new set of towels, find colours that are complementary to your existing towels – a flash of blue, pink or deep red can work well with white towels for vibrancy. Placing your towels in a wicker basket or folding them neatly on a bathroom cabinet can add a stylish look and add colour to your room. You can pick colours that match your shower curtain or bathroom utensils to bring the room together visually.

Bathrooms on a Budget: Bathroom mirrors

Bathroom mirrors are functional and aesthetic. Why not invest in a bathroom mirror that has a colourful, funky frame? Or simply take your old bathroom mirror and reframe it – to save money, you can buy a neutral frame and paint it yourself in a bright colour or design: it’ll add a unique flair to your bathroom. Many people don’t put up pictures in their bathrooms as some can get damaged by the steam, but it’s possible to buy plastic or metal prints or hangings. Bowls featuring stones or seashells can add an extra fresh ocean feel.

When it comes to accessories buy soaps and cosmetic products in funky colours and display them on a shelf or windowsill, add a few decorative candles and your bathroom can have that designer look without breaking the bank.
