Before I began my bathroom remodeling, I was concerned about not having the finances to do the job. In addition to that, I had never painted my walls. This created a lot unnecessary stress and wasted time. I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of DIY kits available for bathroom renovations. I didn't even know where to start. I decided to start with the basics and go from there. Here's the before-and-after story.
These are my top picks for before-and-afters. The first one is a spectacular transformation of the bathroom. The designers took out half the tub and installed a classic pedestal bath. This makes the space more spacious. Also, the wall and floor patterns were changed from dark to lighter. This makes the room brighter. This bathroom is what I would love to have in my own bathroom. The new bathroom is a great place to relax.
Here, the guest bath received a soaking spa, while the old tub was removed and a new Jacuzzi tub installed. I was able give the room a fresh look by installing three different types tile and a new bathroom shower. I love the patterned tile in the shower and the new, larger tub. It is very contemporary and has a clean, modern design.
The homeowners' bathroom was in need of an upgrade and were not sure what they could do. The original 1980s bathtub had been damaged and needed to replaced. They decided to take out the bathtub and install a shower cubicle in the tiny space. This option works well in a small bathroom. Then they decided to replace the vanity with a his and hers sink vanity with two mirrors. They then installed sufficient lighting. The room felt more open and spacious thanks to the new lighting.
Lauren made some changes to her bathroom after the initial design was completed. She decided to add a combination light to the vanity for more lighting. She also replaced her faucet with a more practical one that improved the bathroom's ventilation. A heated towel bar was installed, which made her towels more comfortable. Changing the bathroom's plumbing fixtures is a great way to give your bathroom a new look.
The finished bathroom looks elegant, classy, and elegant. It lacks a generic, over-exaggerated look. It is important to focus on the design details. The finished space has a vanity color that looks even better than it did before. The new tile is gorgeous and the artwork works well in the space.

Once you've chosen the category you want, you need to decide how much money to put towards your project. If you do not have any previous experience in working with homes, it is best that you budget at least $5,000 per bedroom. You might be able get away with less if you have previous experience.
