In the case of Sabrina’s bathroom makeover, budget was not an issue. She purchased only a few pieces and used items she already owned. For example, she used leftover paint and a $6 wood trim around the mirror. However, the entire renovation left some damage, including a slant in the ceiling.
The first step in any bathroom makeover is to choose colors and materials. You can choose from tile, bathtubs, and fixtures. The big ticket items, however, are the bathtub, vanity, and tile. Many people go overboard on these three, spending up to half of their bathroom budget on them. This way, you can make some major changes without breaking the bank.
A floor plan change is another big part of a bathroom makeover. Changing the floor plan requires more planning and professional assistance. A structural engineer may be necessary to reroute plumbing, electrical wiring, or joists. A structural engineer’s services can cost thousands of dollars. However, they can save you a lot of money in the long run by avoiding costly changes.
Another bathroom makeover involves changing the decor. A new shower curtain can create a cohesive look. Some bathrooms also feature artwork or a decorative vase of fresh flowers. You can also change the color scheme of the bathroom to create a new look.
