Remodelling Ideas 101: Bathroom Renovation in Singapore on a Budget

So you are ready to redesign your bathroom and you are all set to contact a bathroom renovation contractor in Singapore to realise your dream bathroom design. But investing at least $5,000 on a plush bathroom is light years away from what you can actually afford to spend. So are you just going to give up on your dream bathroom? Or will you find ways to remodel your bathroom on a budget? Well, here’s the good news: You can transform your bathroom into a relaxing and cool space without spending mega-bucks!

 

The fact is there are plenty of ways to redesign your bathroom on a budget. But first, you need to determine how much you can afford or you are willing to spend on the renovation project. This will help identify the extent of the changes you can make in your bathroom.

 

So what can you do to minimise the expenses on your bathroom renovation in Singapore?

 

New Paint

 

In case you don’t have a lot to spend on your bathroom renovation project, repainting the bathroom will be the cheapest and quickest way to give your bathroom a new look. You can use another colour to freshen up the general appearance of the room. If your bathroom is painted white, for instance, you can choose to repaint the wall with light green or light blue for a cool effect. Otherwise, you can combine two colours to achieve a unique appeal. You can use white as the base colour and other colours in the palette for a more distinct look. Repainting your bathroom may seem an easy task, but it might demand more time since painting the window, shower, mirror, toilet, and sink area should be done slowly and gently to avoid staining them.

 

 

Limit Your Tile

 

Replacing your old and stained tiles is another way to improve the appearance of your bathroom but it can also get expensive depending on your choice of design, size and type. It might also cost much if the area to cover is wider, from the floor to the entire wall. So to save money on the tiles, limit the amount of tile by focusing on high-impact areas of the room like the floor instead of both the floor and the shower stall walls. You can also tile one horizontal strip along the wall, rather than the entire wall, and then paint the rest of the area.

 

Update Bathroom Fixtures

 

Check your bathroom accessories and fixtures. Do they look tired and worn out? Updating little details in your bathroom can already make a big difference on its overall look. You can replace the sink faucets, drawer pulls, light fixtures and towel racks for a relatively small investment. These bathroom accessories may seem insignificant, but installing new ones will surely create a new mood inside the room. Keep in mind that you don’t have to buy the expensive types of these items; you can find affordable bathroom accessories in many home improvement stores.

 

 

Save on Counter Tops

 

Do you want to replace your old-looking countertops? It has become a trend to splurge on granite countertops for the bathroom, which is a bit expensive, compared to other types. So to save money, you may want to consider other forms of countertops. There are many colours that can exude the same feeling the granite can give but at a lesser price. You can choose neutral colours like light beige, brown and tan. If you are unsure about this, you may discuss this with a trusted bathroom renovation company for a recommendation or other alternatives.
