A mid-range bathroom remodel, which costs homeowners an average of $24,000 and allows for 70% of the money to be recouped at closing, is a project with a pretty good rate of return. Compared to a high-end bathroom renovation, where you can expect to spend nearly $72,000 and recoup only 42% when you sell your home, investing in a more modest bathroom remodel makes more financial sense if you plan to sell your home in the next 3 to 5 years.
Are you interested in a bathroom remodel that fits your budget? Here are the most cost-effective ways to update your space:
Subway tile
Subway style tiles have been a staple in kitchens and bathrooms for decades. Homeowners can't seem to get enough of the clean lines and classic look of subway style tiles. If you want to save money on your bathroom remodel, choose inexpensive subway style tiles for your walls and shower surround for a timeless look and a money-saving option.
Using leftovers
Instead of dismantling a still-functional vanity just because it has an outdated countertop, keep the existing cabinets and use scraps from a flagstone patio for the countertop.
Project costs can quickly add up when you start changing your bathroom space. To make the most of your smaller budget, work within the confines of the existing space and use smart storage solutions to solve space issues.
Don't be carried away by the personalized
A custom-made vanity can easily go over your budget. Shop around at big box stores and look for online options to find a more affordable vanity that fits your space and save thousands of dollars.
New doors and drawer fronts
Another option to save money on an old cabinet that is in good condition is to simply replace the doors and drawer fronts and paint everything in a color that complements the hard finishes/decor in your bathroom.
Maintain the garden tub
Instead of removing the garden tub and opting for a sleek freestanding tub, consider keeping the garden tub and updating it. Remove the dated tiles surrounding the garden tub and choose a neutral stone that will stand the test of time.
