Remodeling your bathroom is a project that will contribute the most to your quality of life within your own home. Not only that but it’s also a project that will make your home’s resale value skyrocket. Still, a major bathroom remodel is usually quite expensive, which might result in it not having a positive ROI. So, what you need to focus on are options to fix your bathroom and stay on a budget. With that in mind and without further ado, here are a couple of changes you can consider for your next bathroom renovation project.
1. Install a bidet
Installing a bidet is one of the eco-friendliest, most hygienic, and smartest decisions you could ever make regarding your bathroom renovation. First of all, having a bidet drastically reduces your reliance on toilet paper. Second, it’s a far more hygienic alternative to using exclusively toilet paper. The health benefits are just off the charts. It reduces the germ spread to an unprecedented low and it might reduce the chance that you develop hemorrhoids. People who have and use bidets almost unanimously agree that having a bidet improves one’s bathroom experience.
2. New storage solutions
One thing that every bathroom could use more of is – storage space. Now, since it’s a relatively small room with so many important elements (shower/tub, toilet, faucet, potentially even a washing machine, and a bidet), handling storage will always be tricky. So, you need to be quite inventive with the space that you have. Hanging storage above or below your bathroom vanity, buying special racks, etc. These are just some of your options. Sure, overhead storage may not be that popular in bathrooms but it’s one of the available options. Towel racks are yet another issue to consider.
3. Install porcelain tiles
When looking for the best flooring option for your new bathroom, going for porcelain tiles seems like the most logical solution. First of all, they’re beautiful, low maintenance, and resistant to wear. Most importantly, they’re resistant to foot traffic and water. This makes them ideal for the bathroom. Sure, there are some more elegant solutions and even some more durable solutions but there’s almost nothing that gives you such compromise between quality, pragmatism, and visuals. In other words, they’re both frugal and pragmatic. Moreover, they’re not just flooring but also a wall solution.
4. Wallpaper
Paint is usually the choice for those wondering what to do with their bathroom walls. However, you can make a world of difference by deciding to go for wallpapers. First of all, the right color scheme and pattern can be used in order to visually bend the space and make it feel larger. This is important for several reasons, one of them being the fact that your bathroom is usually the smallest room in your home. Second, this is one of the least expensive options for your bathroom, which doesn’t mean that you should skimp on it. Go for quality wallpaper and make sure that it’s designed for a bathroom (designed to withstand high humidity).
5. Add some indoor plants
Indoor plants can make the room look and feel fresher. They’re also there to help you achieve one major objective – make your bathroom feel like an oasis. Now, keep in mind that conditions in the bathroom are quite specific. The place is humid and, on average, warmer than the rest of your household. So, instead of just focusing on the visuals, you might want to do some research on what is the best indoor plant for your bathroom. Also, remember that there are some bathrooms that have virtually no access to windows. If that’s the case, it needs to be added to the equation.
In conclusion
One thing that all of these ideas have in common is just how inexpensive and impactful they are. This makes them achieve the ultimate cost-efficiency. There are so many things you need to take into consideration when designing your bathroom, starting with the existing layout all the way to your aims and objectives for your home as a whole. All in all, one thing is clear, there are so many inexpensive options that can change everything. Keep this in mind for your next bathroom renovation.
