Repaint your old cabinets.
Do what you can yourself.
Don’t tile if you don’t have to.
With a medium budget you can do a lot. Shop around your area hardware stores and watch for specials on vanities that include the top/sink. You can get really nice ones for a couple of hundred dollars. A one piece rolled vinyl flooring is a great choice. You can usually get end pieces of the high quality vinyl for a low price as most bathrooms have little floor space to cover. Choosing a mid range tub. A great set of faucets and matching ones for the tub/shower can be purchased at local hardware stores or bath stores. Do not skimp on the faucets…pay a little more and get ones that will not need replacing in a year. You can always find fabulous lighting in all price ranges in lots of places. It can take a bit of searching (the web is best for this to start), but the extra work will pay off with a wonderful remodel on a small budget. You might even surprise yourself and have it done way less than you thought. Choose your accessories/towels from places like Ikea (check out their bathroom fixtures too) for good pricing and decent quality.
In bathroom remodeling Cabinets are one of the biggest parts of the budget, they will cost around 34% of your total cost. So, the type and quality of cabinets you select will affect your total costs.
Not surprisingly, fixtures and fittings account for a high cost percentage in the bathroom. Expense for fixtures and fittings will vary depending on the brand, type of materials, and array of products you select.
You should also concentrate on the tiles design, quality. In bathrooms, installation accounts for nearly a quarter of the total cost. If you’re looking to cut corners, this is probably not the place to do it.
If you can do the work yourself you can save a bundle. If not, shop around for a minimum of 4 contractors to get price quotes.
