Modernize Your Bathroom on a Budget

If your bathroom needs an update, consider a budget-friendly modern remodel. Modern style always says "less is more"- what could be better for those on a budget? This sleek, uncluttered approach to design is perfect for bathrooms. Clean lines and shiny surfaces will give your bathroom a modern, sophisticated feeling. Check out these easy tips to modernize on a budget.

Painting is one of the best ways to update the look of a room. Repainting is a great start to modernizing the look of your bathroom. It's really cheap to paint a bathroom because they're so small that it doesn't take a lot of paint. Go with a neutral color like white, sand, or espresso. Keep in mind that the darker the color, the smaller your bathroom will appear. Smaller bathrooms should be painted lighter to open up the space. Don't just stop at the walls. If your cabinets need a little TLC, consider repainting them with high gloss paint for a modern look.

Changing up the bathroom accessories is another inexpensive way to update your bathroom. It's as easy as changing the shower curtain and hand towels. Look for a clean style with a geometric or asymmetrical print. Stay away from small prints or anything floral as this can look more country and less modern. Swap out your old hand towels in favor fresh towels to match your new color scheme. You can purchase a set of 4 for around 10 dollars at most big box stores.

Sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference. Whether or not you've decided to repaint your bathroom cabinets, change the hardware to something sleeker. Clean lines and chrome are very modern and can help convey the tone you want to set in the bathroom. Changing the bathroom cabinet pulls is an inexpensive way to include some smooth metal accents into the space. If you can afford to spend a few dollars more, buy a matching towel rack and toilet paper holder.

As a finishing touch, find a work of art to hang in the bathroom. Modern art is often bold and colorful. This is the opportunity to incorporate your favorite hues into the décor. You can find art prints for next to nothing online. Go with something bold and abstract. Or even think about painting a simple color field or a geometric composition to give your bathroom a personalized touch.
