Wallpaper

Guide on how to redecorate your bathroom on a budget using floral wallpaper and a sink.

It’s your best friend if redoing the walls (and even certain floor surfaces). Not only can you find thousands of prints, and have custom designs made, you can choose from elegant colours, design, details, and finishes as well. Further, it is a fraction of the cost for new tiles, stone or other materials such as pricey quartz. And, with custom design options, you can custom create wallpaper to look like these finishes.

DIY

Custom made shower curtains, mats, or other finishes, can cost hundreds, if not thousands of pounds. Guess what, you can do the work yourself. You can purchase different fabrics, print out different design ideas, and create your own unique rugs, carpets, towels, and decorative pieces. Yes, it will take some time and effort. But, you truly have a unique finish, something that is yours and unique, and it is going to cost virtually nothing, if you shop around before purchasing the materials as well.

Resurface it

Resurface, don’t replace. New quartz vanities, huge designer mirrors, or new cabinets, are quite pricey. If you have older items in the home, which are made of nice, high end materials, you can resurface them. Not only will the cost of labour be far cheaper, but it is going to cost virtually nothing to sand down those old cabinets, or to resurface our old counters in the space. Further, you can go for a custom look or finish, and you can have that vintage theme or style in the space, which is going to be a fraction of what new cabinets, new counters, and a new vanity would cost you to purchase and have a contractor install in to the space as well.
