7 tips for updating your bathroom without breaking the bank

Many homeowners want a beautiful and modern bathroom they can proudly show off to their friends. However, an entire remodel isn’t exactly cheap, even if your bathroom is small. Buying all new bathroom parts can easily cost thousands of dollars. If you don’t have a ton of money to spend on a complete bathroom renovation, you can still turn the room into a relaxing place. Here are seven tips for updating your bathroom without breaking the bank:

1. Buy granite slab that contains imperfections
Granite countertops are popular and can make your bathroom look very modern; however, this stone is pretty pricey. If you still have your heart set on these countertops, purchase a granite slab that has flaws. If the piece of granite has imperfections, the price will be cheaper. Realize that the imperfection might be located around the faucet or sink, so you will not even notice it.

2. Update your exhaust fan
Don’t underestimate the importance of your bathroom’s exhaust fan. If the fan is outdated and not working properly, mold and mildew can grow, which can damage the floors, walls and ceilings. If you invest in a new fan, it will circulate the air in your bathroom, keeping moisture out.

Adding a new faucet can improve the look of your bathroom.

3. Apply new caulk to your bathtub or sink
Even if you buy the nicest brass bathroom fixtures, dirty caulk will draw attention away from their beauty. Removing the old caulk and applying new will improve the appearance of your bathtub or sink. New caulk will also help protect against mold and mildew.

4. Add a fresh coat of paint
One of the most inexpensive ways to update a bathroom is to give it a fresh coat of paint. Painting the walls a different color will give the room an entirely new look. If you are working with a very small bathroom, for example, choose light colors, like yellow or beige, as they can give the illusion of more space. If you have a more expansive bathroom, it can handle warmer colors, like brown or red.

5. Get a new shower head
Replacing your shower head doesn’t cost a lot of money and can add a beautiful touch to your bathroom. To prevent damaging the new fixture, put a towel around it as you tighten it with pliers.

6. Replace your faucet
If it isn’t in your budget to purchase a bunch of new bathroom fixtures, at least consider replacing your faucet. There are many faucets to choose from, and they can be priced to fit your budget. In addition to adding beauty to the bathroom, a new, energy-efficient faucet can help you save money on your water bills.

7. Don’t forget about accessories
Adding a few accessories can really make your bathroom look like new. For example, you could buy a new shower curtain or put artificial flowers on your sink. Before you add these new accessories, clean the clutter out of your bathroom.
