How to Save Money Remodeling Your Bathroom

We all want the perfect bathroom but sometimes the thought of remodeling can give us a headache, and hurt us in our wallets. Use these five tips to help you with your upcoming bathroom renovation and work on saving money.

  1. Have a plan

This seems like a no-brainer but it’s actually crucial to saving money. If you know what you want your bathroom to look like BEFORE you go shopping or before you start pricing out items you are more likely to stay on budget and keep from overspending.

  1. Put a lid on it

A great way to revamp your toilet without having to buy an entirely new one is to just change the lid. This is simple and much cheaper than investing more money into a porcelain throne.

  1. Change your shower head

Going off of number two, a great way to change up your shower or bathtub can be installing a new showerhead. Doing this will give you a chance to change things up in your bathroom without having to install a new bathroom or work with plumbing.

  1. Instead of tile, paint

A lot of people think that their bathroom has to be tiled for it to be the best bathroom it can be. That’s just not the case. In fact,if you use paint instead of tile you’re going to save a lot and it’ll be easier to change in the future if you want to.

  1. Use quartz

One of the most popular aspects of a bathroom are the counters that you choose. Instead of going for a more expensive option like granite or marble, consider getting a quartz countertop. Quartz looks just as good as its expensive competitors and it comes with a warranty. Perfect, right?

If you’re interested in saving money, especially by using quartz instead of granite, feel free to give planet stone a call at 818-890-0810 for all your bathroom remodel needs.
