Bathrooms go from dated to dreamy with affordable revamp ideas
Most of the bathroom renovations you see below involve nothing more than a coat or two of paint. These bathroom revamps show what can be done on a moderate budget if you shop wisely. Be on the lookout for special offers for sanitary ware and tiles, and stockpile these until you have all you need to renovate your bathroom.
Not all bathroom revamps require that everything be ripped out. Sometimes only cosmetic changes can make a huge difference - and won't cost a fortune.
What a difference a coat or two of paint can make! Simply by choosing a wall paint that takes is colour cue from the mosaic floor tiles, this bathroom becomes a serene haven that is light and bright. Soft grey walls highlight the brown and grey mosaic tiles and transform the room. Adding a few natural elements, such as botanical art and a wood block table add a touch of rustic charm to the bathroom.
A major renovation for this older bathroom resulted in a modern master suite. Because the original plumbing wasn't moved, renovation costs were kept to a minimum, which allowed for luxury splurges such as a new claw-foot bathtub. The entire bathroom is painted in a crisp, fresh white that contrasts with the new hardwood floor.
Knocking out the wall behind the toilet allowed the ceiling crawl space on one side to be incorporated into the bathroom, allowing much more floor space. The dated bathtub was removed and new fitting installed.
The homeowners also widened the window opening to allow more light into the room. Glossy white subway tiles, white ceiling and stainless steel mosaic floor tiles bounce and reflect light around the space.
With the addition of new sanitary fittings and a coat or two of paint, this dated bathroom gets a fresh, modern makeover. The acrylic tub was replaced with a trendy claw-foot bathtub and the wall panelling is given a couple of coats of robin's egg blue. Modern tiles replace the worn out vinyl flooring.
Veneer bathroom cabinets and 80s fittings are removed to make way for modern alternatives - and in a style that you can so easily copy to make your own bathroom vanity.
Beige floor tiles are replaced with contemporary mosaic tiles. By retaining the existing plumbing layout more time and money was spent on making purely cosmetic changes to this bathroom.
Sponge-painted walls and plastic laminate cabinets are definitely out in this bathroom. The original layout is maintained to cut down on expenses. Stainless steel mosaic wall tiles and Moroccan-style floor tiles add an eclectic but modern appeal to the new bathroom. The dated vanity was replaced by a timeless and elegant pedestal sink.
