6 Bathroom Upgrades That Pay Off – Budget-Friendly!

If you are looking for bathroom upgrades that pay off, give some of these ideas a try. From the fixtures to the flooring and the walls, check out our easy ways to update a bathroom on a budget.

Updating your bathroom fixtures

Bathroom fixtures are under constant use in a home and therefore can become worn, tarnished, and unfortunately can look a little rough around the edges. Updating these features is an inexpensive and simple way to upgrade and fix any leaky faucets or dripping showerheads.

Freshen up the paint

Any time you freshen up the paint in a room it will give a nice new feel, as well as cover up built-up stains or peeling paint. A new color in a small room can make a big difference. Light colors can make a room look bigger, and a bold splash of color on one wall can bring vibrancy to a room that may not have much character.

Add worthwhile accessories

A small room such as the bathroom can easily become cluttered and messy. Simple accessories can add character and beauty to the bathroom while also offering space-saving storage and organization. Towel hangers, baskets, shower rods, and even new outlet covers add newness to a room without a large investment of either money or time.

Don’t replace your tub, re-glaze it

A white tub can easily show how well used it is no matter how well maintained and clean it is kept over time. Eventually, no amount of scrubbing will get it back to its original look. If your bathtub still has plenty of life left to it, you can re-glaze-it – a real budget bathroom upgrades that pay off! This may require some assistance from a family member or friend, or you can pay a professional to tackle this job.

Freshen up the bathroom flooring

You can go a couple of ways with the floor but elbow grease is first on the list. A new scrubbing brush, some cleaning products (you most likely have some household vinegar in your cupboard), and rolling up your sleeves for an hour or two can make a surprising result. If your flooring is beyond cleaning, consider investing in new. The smaller square space of a bathroom floor means it wouldn’t cost much to put in a new floor.

Brighten up the tiles

If you are scrubbing the floors, take a minute to assess the grout in your tile. Is it still holding strong? If so, give it a good scrubbing to bring back the brightness. If you see that it is starting to crumble it might be time to re-grout your tile. This can be a weekend DIY project and can add newness to your bathroom without changing a thing.
