It is not an easy room to renovate but cheap bathroom renovations are possible with a little thought. To create a nice bathroom environment cheaply will essentially come down to choosing the right fixtures that will blend with a good colour scheme. By shopping around, you may be able to select the lighting, fixtures and accessories from one supplier as a package deal. The design of you bathroom will be determined by the space available for the renovation. Bathroom fittings and fixtures are available in a variety of different sizes and shapes and prices, therefore you need to make sure that you've allowed enough in the budget to ensure the project doesn't cause you any financial hardships.

Choosing a vanity cabinet that looks old-fashioned may not be the right choice if you are wishing to modernise the bathroom. There are several options to choosing a vanity. A pedestal vanity or a basin set into the wall, a double sink or a single vanity with cupboards underneath are all styles available. The choice is yours to select the one that will work in with your chosen design. Whichever you choose, allow it to be the focal point in the bathroom.

Flooring is another important factor in a bathroom. It must be waterproof and hard wearing. Marble, stone and ceramic tiles are usually the flooring choices for the bathroom; however that may be a little expensive for some. A substitute flooring choice that is cheaper, such as hardwood, so long as it is perfectly sealed is able to give great natural warmth in the room. If you are have minimal space for the bathroom renovation project, then perhaps you will need to focus your concentration on cabinets and storage units. A recessed cabinet in the wall is possibly a great option for optimum usage of the available space. Storage options on the market are becoming more versatile and a slim line storage would work well in a room that is short on space. Updating the old fittings with the latest ones is the one thing which may be quite expensive when you are planning your bathroom renovation project in budget. Maybe keeping the existing ones is more acceptable, however a new curtain on the window and some new towels would be more suited to you budget.

Bathrooms need to be constructed correctly, starting with the flooring. If that is uneven, it may be rectified with a slurry of concrete. Ensure the drains for plumbing are in the correct place before the lining is installed. Have all electrical wiring hidden behind the lining. Install an exhaust fan with the light, as this will allow the dampness to be extracted from the room, limiting the build up of mode. Ensure the bath shower and the vanity is all fitted properly before any tiling of the walls is done and the flooring is laid. Correct and careful bathroom remodelling offers elegance to any type of house. It is an important project that helps give a great return on your investment.

It is an excellent idea to install a ceiling exhaust fan. This draws moisture out of a small room and eliminates the chance of mould appearing. Correct lighting is important. If there is a large mirror over the vanity then a few LED lights are reasonably affordable and relatively easy to install and would look classy. It is essential that all electrical wiring is behind a wall to eliminate any moisture creeping into it. Bathroom remodeling offers elegance and enjoyment to any type of house and raises the value of your residence if you thinking of selling your home in the future.

If there is a toilet in the existing bathroom, you may wish to expand by moving the toilet to a cubicle on its own, thus giving more room in the actual bathroom. There is software available to assist you to prepare for this project and many ideas and tip are available in home renovation magazines.
