If a full bathroom remodel isn't in your budget, there are still smaller updates you can make that are well worth your time and investment. Minor cosmetic changes yield an average return of $1.71 for every dollar you spend, so let's explore some ideas to help you take your old bathroom from drab to fab with minimal effort.
Refresh Your Flooring or Backsplash
One of the most eye-catching changes you can make is to update
the flooring or backsplash. This is a project that varies widely in terms of
price, but by choosing budget-friendly tiles, you'll be surprised how
affordable transforming a small space like a bathroom can be. If you plan to
sell your home in the future and want to appeal to a wider range of buyers,
stick with a classic, neutral color.
Apply a Fresh Coat of Paint
Looking for a DIY project? Painting your bathroom is a great way
to change its aesthetic without having to hire a contractor. Opt for neutrals
colors such as beige and gray to create a clean look or choose a light blue or
green for a calming atmosphere. Don't forget, you can paint more than just the
walls. Consider adding a pop of color to your cabinets to give them a second
life.
Replace Your Mirror
It sounds simple, but swapping out your old mirror for a more
modern design can elevate your entire bathroom. Depending on the style you
select, it can even make the space feel bigger. Choose an oversized mirror with
LED backlighting to add a luxurious glow that brightens up the entire space. To
really maximize your investment, opt for a mirror with built-in storage.
Updating your bathroom doesn't have to be a huge undertaking. By
chipping away at small projects like these, you'll be well on your way to
creating the home of your dreams — all while boosting your property value.
