Everyone likes a pretty and practical bathroom. It’s where the day starts and ends If you are thinking about remodeling your bathroom on a limited budget, check out these inexpensive ideas. You can change the whole appearance of your bath without emptying your wallet.
Paint, Paper, And Rugs
Paint your bathroom with soft blues green, tan, peach, or other soothing colors Depending on the size and shape of your bathroom you might want to paper the lower half and paint the top. Add some scatter Persian rugs in London in contrasting colors, and your new bathroom will be complete.
Thrift Store Treasures
A low coffee table can be refinished or painted to become a holder for a variety of baskets. You can store washcloths, towels, soaps, combs, and brushes in baskets for a shabby/chic look. An attractive end table can be transformed into a charming floating sink vanity. Three small doors can be painted and hinged to create a lovely folding screen. Fabric covered inserts can be used to replace windows in old doors for a unique folding screen. Thrift stores are also a great place to find pretty old dishes to hold soap and larger bowls for a potted plant.
Yard Sales
You can find some really great buys at yard sales. When people buy a new home and remodel it, they often sell the replaced items. You may find medicine cabinets, plumbing fixtures, windows, mirrors, lighting, baskets, and dozens of other items that can put new life in your bathroom. Old curtains in good condition can be turned into a shower curtain to hang in front of clear vinyl. Old fabric, scarves, handkerchiefs, and table clothes can be turned into charming shower curtains.
Redesign What You Already Have
Search your basement, attic, junk closet, and garage. You might find some forgotten treasures in a box. The beautiful antique bowl with the chip in the bottom could become a new floating sink. A glass shop can cut the right size hole in the bottom of the bowl to fit new plumbing fixtures. The old bookcase from the kid’s room can be repainted and turned into shelves for towels and other linens. It’s a great way to recycle those forgotten items you saved for just such a repurpose.
Spending a few dollars to repurpose yard sale, thrift shop, and your own store finds can give your bathroom a fresh new look. Enjoy remodeling your bathroom, and bank the money you saved.
