Budget Bath: How to Remodel Your Bathroom

July 8, 2010 Updated Jul 8, 2010 at 2:25 PM EST

(Dannylipford.com) -- Bathroom renovation is one of the most popular home improvement projects around, and while you can go all out and spend a bundle on your bath, breaking the bank isn't necessary to make your bathroom look like new.

Bathroom Budgeting Options
Homeowners on a limited budget should consider a cosmetic upgrade for their bath. You’ll be amazed at the difference a coat of paint, along with new hardware and faucets can make, and it can be an easy do-it-yourself project as well.

Those with more to spend could go for a complete remodel by gutting the existing bath and replacing everything from fixtures and cabinets to countertops and flooring.

For the ultimate in luxury for cramped, older baths, consider removing an existing wall and expand the bathroom into an adjoining closet or rarely used guest bedroom.

Bathroom Remodeling Tips
To make your bathroom seem more like a castle than a dungeon, consider some of these remodeling tips:

-Painting with light colors keeps a small bath from feeling claustrophobic.
-Laying floor tile diagonally makes a bath seem larger than it is.
-Adding mirrors to the walls expands the feeling of space in a bathroom.
-Stay with white or neutral colored countertops and fixtures.
-A 36" tall vanity can make the sink easier to use.
-Consider replacing your bathtub with a walk-in shower.
-Cultured marble is a durable, budget friendly alternative to natural stone that can be used for shower stalls, countertops, and sinks.
