Every renovation involves quite a substantial amount of work and financial expenditure. A particularly notable place is the bathroom, which can consume a considerable amount of time and budget due to its nature. Therefore, it is important to consider optimal solutions so that time is well spent, and the budget is appropriately managed.
Beneficial withdrawal
Whether we're furnishing a new bathroom or renovating an old one, we strive to do it as well as possible, but let's be honest, also as cheaply as possible. However, it's important to acknowledge that the cheapest option isn't always the best. A faucet that's half the price of a leading brand may end up in the bin after a few months. So our advice is: don't skimp on fittings and basic bathroom equipment. It's a place where the word "water" is paramount. Water is in the tap, in the cistern, in the toilet bowl. As we know, "a drop hollows a stone," so we've got a really tough "opponent." Today, manufacturers of bathroom fixtures offer us products that are very resistant to corrosion and yellowing. Choose these, and they'll serve us for years. This investment pays off even in terms of water savings, as these devices often have built-in features that allow for this.
You might say, sure, fittings will eat up a huge amount of money, so what about the rest? When furnishing a new bathroom, you can forgo expensive tiles in favor of painting the bathroom with moisture-resistant and washable paints. There is also a wide selection of these, and they are popular among many customers. Moreover, this allows us to change our bathroom decor more frequently. Pulling up tiles won't be something we'll want to do as often.
Big changes with little effort
We enter our bathroom and suddenly the thought hits us that after all these years, it might be time to change it. That's not always possible, so we struggle with that thought and meticulously save for a complete renovation. However, there are ways to change the decor for little money.
First, let's consider why we no longer like our bathroom. Is it the outdated tiles? Perhaps the old, rusty fittings? Or do we dislike everything that is in it? Whatever it is, there is a solution. Old tiles can be removed, and the bathroom can be painted with moisture and scrubbing-resistant paint. The range of colors is vast, and we can change them as often as every year. Don't want to remove the tiles? No problem. Buy tile paint, refresh the grout, and our bathroom will look like new. Replacing fittings shouldn't be daunting. Although it is often one of the more expensive costs, it's worth addressing this issue. Nowadays, manufacturers offer highly recommendable products in terms of functionality, ecology, appearance, and ease of cleaning. Additionally, they are built to last for many years.
We've painted the tiles or walls, changed the fittings, refreshed the bathtub, and yet it still seems dull. What's missing? Accessories, accessories, and more accessories. A live or artificial flower, a basket of grooming products, or interestingly arranged or hung towels in the color of our bathroom can add unique warmth.
Light is our ally
Every decor, whether in the living room or bathroom, requires appropriate lighting. Well-chosen light brings out the true essence of our interiors. Let's ensure it is suitable in our bathroom as well. Light by the mirror is essential. First, it facilitates daily tasks like shaving or applying makeup. Second, it gives the interior a very interesting effect.
Let's also pay attention to overhead lighting. Well-chosen lighting will show our completely new or renovated bathroom from an entirely different perspective. These can be ceiling halogens, which are very popular nowadays and relatively inexpensive. We can choose LED halogens that save energy and come in different brightness levels. We could also opt for a traditional chandelier, which, when chosen appropriately, will make our bathroom not just a place of hygiene but also something of a private SPA.
