If your bathroom is lacking in appearance or function, know that there are several budget-friendly bathroom projects that will overhaul the space so that it's a better fit for your household. Our real estate agents suggest the following affordable bathroom upgrades to transform the look and feel of your bathroom.
- Install a Self-Closing Toilet Lid
A self-closing toilet lid is a minor change that will make your bathroom more functional for your family. Loud toilet seat banging can disrupt those in nearby rooms; a self-closing lid closes gently and quietly so that other people in your household aren't bothered by noisy clanging. This project can even make your home more appealing to potential buyers when you list it with other Suffolk County homes for sale.
- Add a Frame to Your Bathroom Mirror
It only takes a few hours to add a frame to your bathroom mirror. A frame will give your mirror a little personality so that it better reflects your tastes. You can use a variety of materials so that the mirror compliments your bathroom's decor. Popular options include glass or ceramic tiles and wood trim.
- Incorporate Extra Shower Storage
If one wrong move sends all the bottles in your shower crashing down, it's time to add a few more storage shelves to your shower. Shower shelves are inexpensive and come in several colors and designs.
- Install a Larger Mirror
Swapping your existing mirror for a larger piece is a simple project that will maximize the lighting in your bathroom and make the space appear larger. Consider selecting a mirror that covers the whole wall for a more dramatic look.
- Utilize Accessories That Save Space
Space-saving accessories, like double towel racks, over-the-toilet storage, and shelves, ensure that even a small bathroom has ample storage. A countertop lazy Susan is another smart accessory that corrals your bathroom essentials while making it easier to quickly find what you're searching for. When you add your home to the Huntington homes for sale, prospective buyers will be better able to see how they might make the bathroom work for their family's needs.
- Add Drawer Dividers for Better Organization
If your bathroom drawers are cluttered and messy, drawer dividers will add organization to this valuable storage space. Not only do drawer dividers make it faster to locate your desired item, but they also allow you to use limited drawer space more efficiently.
- Decorate the Room with Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a cheap way to update your bathroom's style. Use it on one wall, or if your bathroom has molding, keep the molding and only paper half the wall. Interested in a less intensive project? Pick a print that you love and frame a few pieces to hang on your bathroom walls. You can also use wallpaper to add visual interest to bathroom shelving and cabinets.
- Replace Your Hardware
New hardware is an effective way to modernize your bathroom furnishings and create a look that you love. Consider replacing cabinet and drawer handles, faucets, and doorknobs with pieces that suit your preferred aesthetic.
