BATHROOM DECORATING ON A BUDGET

Decorating your home can be a costly affair. From plumbing and electrics, to painting, tiling and furnishing – there is a lot to consider when it comes to paying up for interior design and décor.

Seen as your bathroom is such a vital part of your home, you’ll want to ensure it is full of functionality and the latest in design. Below we have listed a few cost-savvy ways to create a bathroom to suit your theme, style and budget in mind.

Cut down on the tiles

Tiles are essential to any bathroom space; they protect your walls from spills and splashes and also look great. But by the time you have bought enough tiles to fill your whole bathroom, found a professional and paid for the labour – your costs will be rather high. Instead, consider tiling only the necessary portions of your bathroom, such as the areas around your sink and bathtub. Paint the remaining walls with a complementing colour, to be left with a bathroom that looks chic and characterful.

Lay down the floor

Your choice of flooring will have the biggest impact on your bathroom. If you are looking to fill a rather large square foot of space, the costlier options come in the form of stone, rubber and vinyl flooring. Although they are great to look at, they can cost up to a staggering £50 per square metre. We advise browsing the cheaper range of linoleum and ceramic flooring, which come with a wider range of finishes, are water resistant and also perfectly easy to keep clean.

Get smart with surfacing

Many people splash out on expensive granite and marble worktops to provide their bathrooms with high quality finish. However, if you’re designing a bathroom on a budget, select from a range of affordable, sturdy and stylish worktops made from wood, gloss or polymarble. Available in a variety of colours and styles, you’re sure to find a surface for your bathroom that oozes the latest in style without breaking the bank.

Focus on features

The finer details of your bathroom such as sink and bath taps, towel rails, mirrors and light fixtures can quickly transform the overall look and feel of the room. So it’s good to set aside a budget for them when it comes to decorating. Towel rails and sink and bath faucets with a chrome finish are both stylish and durable. See our range of affordable chrome heated towel rails, which will look fantastic in any modern or traditional bathroom.

Remake and remodel

You can save a fortune on bathroom furniture and accessories by investing in second hand products. From sink cabinets, to mirror frames, bathroom vanity units and bathtubs – there isn’t a product for your bathroom you won’t find on sites such as eBay and Gumtree. The beauty of buying second hand is that you have more freedom to tweak, change and transform, to suit your style and bathroom needs, at very little cost. It also makes bathroom renovating more of a personal and fun DIY project.
