Are you looking for a big bathroom renovation or a small bathroom makeover? Whatever your answer is, keep in mind that your number one priority in a bathroom is function. We want to help you decide where to put your money and where you can save!

A few saving ideas for your bathroom renovation

Tile: You can save money on the background tile and spend a little more on one or two targeted areas. Choose someplace special like the vanity backsplash or a wall in the shower for a tile that is $20 to $50 per square foot.

Floor: Your floor should be slip resistant (so think tile texture here and larger grout lines in the shower for more traction). Believe it or not, this is not as expensive as you may think.

Tub/Shower: There are so many options here that you may want to find something that will not only save your wallet, but also valuable space. Many home owners are deciding to take the tub out of the master bathroom to create a walk-in shower – as long as there is a tub somewhere in the home.

Bathroom renovations that you should splurge on

Cabinets: If you’re looking at your cheapest option here and something much more expensive catches your eye, we suggest you find a middle ground. You are going to be opening and shutting those doors several times each day. Something like a cheap particle board will not last long against the wet environment.

Countertops: Chances are you have seen the difference in cost between a laminate that looks like granite and the actual granite top. Your mind may already be made up but we suggest you invest in the material here; especially if you are looking for a high resale value when you sell your home.

Plumbing Fixtures: Plumbing itself can be pretty expensive. Those dollars may even persuade you to go with a cheaper alternative. Take it from us, if you just spent a pretty penny fixing your plumbing, invest in fixtures that are not going to peel away five years later.

Is your bathroom in pretty good condition? Does it need just a few things to spruce it up?
