Expert Tips For A High-End Bathroom Renovation On A Budget

When on the lookout for bathroom renovation ideas, it sometimes leaves us yearning for and desiring looks that we believe are very impractical, unattainable, and costly. As may be expected, any new bathroom renovation is a considerable undertaking where some expenses are involved. Furthermore, such a task can often be complex and intricate if your space is small, awkwardly shaped or even does not have much natural lighting emitting into the room. 

Needless to say, not all bathroom renovations call for you to invest a lot of money towards the renovation or to remove any fixtures – or walls, for that matter. It is attainable to achieve a bathroom renovation on a budget whilst still executing the same beautiful finish that you desire, minus the costs. Here are some tips to help you achieve that dream bathroom makeover on a budget.

Plan Ahead & Do Your Research

During any bathroom refit, it is important that you are aware of and recognises the type of space that you have to work with. Before making any product selections, make sure you measure all the key areas. Ensure that you measure up all of your key areas, such as the space where a vanity may go, a bathtub may sit, or even where mirrors can possibly be hung. Being prepared with all the dimensions of your space is key, as this will act as a way to filter out certain products that won’t be the right fit for the space.

Prior to any bathroom reno, obtaining bathroom renovation inspiration from the latest trends online as well as from magazines can allow you to explore a variety of bathroom styles that you may love to be incorporated into your bathroom. 

Stick to your guns. Be sure that you communicate all your dream bathroom aspirations with your bathroom renovators so that they can adjust any aspects of your bathroom to suit your preferred product and design selections.

Create The Illusion Of Space

If you only have a small bathroom, a great tip for your bathroom renovation is to create the illusion of space. Bathroom designs that play tricks with your eye are your best friend when it comes to renovating a small bathroom. Here in this Balmain bathroom renovation project, we have designed the bathroom in a way where there is a wall-hung vanity unit that allows the underlighting to emit directly onto the floor, making the space feel larger than it actually is.

Incorporating various textural components to even the most neutral-toned bathrooms with matte black fixtures and hardware can enhance the appearance of your space even further. Making for a very modern and sleek design, it looks great in just about any space. The shower fixtures, tap fixtures and towel rails work towards the sleekness of the bathroom and paired with neutral-toned wall tiles, it makes the space feel light and bright.

The addition of the shelves next to the bathtub also creates a sense of added space within the bathroom. Making use of any dead space is a smart way to make the bathroom feel more open, and this is just what you need in any small bathroom – a feeling of openness.

Have A Solid & Realistic Budget In Place

Bathroom home improvements can sometimes be expensive due to the number of amazing bathroom items available on the market. This is why it is vital that you have a solid and reasonable budget in place. Ensure you are looking at bathroom items that you can afford. Don’t bother looking at that $10,000 stone bath if you know you cannot afford it.

Furthermore, determine the amount of tiling you will need in square meters. You may possibly have found the most beautiful tile, but remember that tile prices do vary greatly.

Each square metre you require may end up costing you hundreds on top of your renovation costs. Therefore, understanding what you require will prevent you from moving away from your end goal – a bathroom built to your budget.

Hire The Right Professionals

Whether it be builders, plumbers, interior designers or electricians, it is crucial that you select a trusted tradesperson and do your research on your selected bathroom renovation company. Try to get some recommendations from friends and family. Also, look at some images of their past projects to see if their work aligns with what you are looking for.

In addition, consider hiring a company that is insured. Having insurance can make a massive difference in your bathroom renovation.
