4 Ways To Brighten Up Your Bathroom on a Budget

Your bathroom takes a lot of use, so there’s bound to be a substantial amount of wear and tear over the years. It can be costly to renovate even this, the smallest of rooms. If you want to freshen up your bathroom and give it a new, updated look, then there are ways you can do it without blowing your budget. You might just fancy a change, or you may be seeking to put your home up for sale. A clean, fresh new bathroom makes any home more desirable, whether you’re moving or just staying put. If you’re willing to put in some work and prepared to drive a hard bargain, you can fix things up for a fraction of the cost.

Tiles

One of the first things you need to look at is your tiles. Old, broken or cracked tiles and grout grouting can really make your bathroom look past it’s best. Correcting these issues will make a surprisingly effective change to the overall look of the room. If it’s just your grouting hat is looking grim, then cheat. Instead of chipping it all out and redoing it, use a grouting pen. This will restore it back to gleaming white. If you’re going for a new look, a black pen used between white tiles will give you a modern twist. Do your tiles need replacing? It’s not difficult to learn how to do it yourself. Tile Markets have great offers and low prices so you can re-tile for less.

Paint

Isn’t amazing how quickly a coat of paint can totally transform a room? If you’re stuck with wallpaper, use a steamer to remove it from your walls. This makes light work of a tough job. If you’re repainting on top of the paint, make sure you prepare the area thoroughly. Ensure all flaky, dirty and sticky patches are well cleaned. You can then prime them with a light rubbing of fine grade sandpaper. Remember to check that your walls are free from damp and mildew. If you do have a problem with mildew, then find out where the problem is coming from. You can buy special paints which contain a mildew inhibitor to help stop it coming back

Taps and Faucets

The jewels in the crown of your bathroom are the sparkly bits – think taps, shower heads, handles and spouts. Give them an instant makeover by replacing your old ones with some funky new ones. Your shiny hardware will transform your bathroom in no time at all, and is a cheap way to breathe life into the small space. You can go from space age and modern to rustically retro – the choice is entirely yours.

Accessorize

To finish off the look of your new bathroom, use accessories to add an impact. Try making a statement with brightly coloured towels, some vases or candles. You can turn your bathroom into your own personal spa. Make the atmosphere sumptuous and serene. You’ll be able to relax and enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Now, that’s more like it!
