Are you wanting to renovate your bathroom with a whole new look? Here are a few ways to do just that without breaking your budget.
A fresh coat of paint
One of the simplest ways to change up your bathroom is by painting it. You don’t have to tear anything down and really just need to cover up anything you don’t want to paint using a drop cloth or some newspapers. Just make sure you get paint that is designed to be used indoors and on the material that is used in your bathroom. Be sure to use a primer first if covering dark colors or if the wall has never been painted before.
How much will it cost you? You will pay $35-$150 in paint for your average 5×8 bathroom. Painting yourself is a simple way to save money and change the look big time. If you hire someone to do it and use higher quality paints expect to pay in the 250-400 dollar range. Make sure to shop around for bathroom renovation quotes before deciding on your preferred contractor.
