Here are 5 under $1000 upgrades you can do to better positive impact and value out of your bathrooms without having to fully remodel.

New Flooring

Replacing a tired tile or linoleum floor is often economical.

When considering a new style, look at some of the modern options such as wood-like tile, different-shaped tiles such as rectangles or octagons, or tiles that contain designs.

Don’t know what pattern to go with? Defaulting to “simple and clean” is always a winning strategy.

New Vanity

Vanities are a focal point in a bathroom and drive the overall feel of the room. If your vanity is not in bad shape and can get by with a simple refresh of paint, door pulls and a new faucet, you may be in luck. However, if your vanity has seen better days, consider buying a new one. It is extremely easy to buy a prefabricated vanity complete with sink and countertop for under $1000 with smaller footprints getting as low as $150.


Accessories

New towels, shower curtain, waste baskets, countertop dispensers, bathmats, prints, sculptures, candles, plants — all of these small items add up to a big aesthetic impact.

These items can be sourced inexpensively through big box stores or websites. Make a list, set a budget, and get shopping!






Now that you have some ideas on how to update your bathrooms on a budget, take some time to assess your bathrooms, determine what updates will yield the greatest impact, and make quick improvements that add value — without breaking the bank.
