Cheap Bathroom Makeover
Save money by being creative enough
to do your own cheap small bathroom makeover, Use whatever items you
may already have to refresh up the look of your bathroom. You simply
have to carefully plan which items need to be replaced or refurbished.
Then go over your resources to check whatever items you can still
utilize, then stick with your makeover plan.
Wash and scrub your small bathroom thoroughly using a pressure washer or steam
cleaner, if practical, which you can rent from cleaning companies. Scrub and bleach
the entire areas of your sink, water closet, floor and wall tiles
free of molds and stains. Repair cracks and loosened plaster with
tile adhesive and plaster sealants. This is the first step in doing
your own good cheap bathroom makeover.
Painting is a very cost effective way to improve the look of your
bathroom. It is ideal to use either acrylic semi-gloss or interior
latex paint with anti-moisture additives to protect your walls,
ceiling, and woodwork. While light-colored paint is recommended
especially for small bathrooms, you can accentuate paint designs,
for instance, cloud designs for your ceiling, and perhaps a couple
of color combinations for your walls and woodworks.
If you choose to use wallpaper, use it only on areas that will
not be heavily exposed to steam, heat, or moisture. There are alternative
materials to your standard wallpaper, such as high grade newspapers,
different style children’s artworks, tin foils or wrapping style papers, from which
you can hang in your cheap bathroom makeover.
Repair your bathroom fixture leaks, avoiding outright replacement as much as
possible. You will be surprised that with a little creativity, you
can salvage most of your fixtures and restore them to good use.
Replace old hardware for your cabinets and doors and deploy decorative
mirrors that would enhance and enlarge your bathroom space.
Before deciding to replace your floorings totally, evaluate first
if you can retain most of them through repair. If not, you can choose
to replace your floor tiles with cheap replacement tiles or even
consider a painted cement finish with moisture-proof paint. Maybe a small area rug to cover up a bad patch of flooring, but do stay away from put carpet flooring in your small bathroom.
Making use of artistic accessories that are relatively inexpensive,
like area rugs, lighting fixtures, and bathroom soap accessories can contribute
much to your cheap bathroom makeover without necessarily depleting
your budget.
All the best with your cheap small bathroom makeover project.
