1. Be more budget-conscious with the tile

As tile is expensive, you may want to limit the number of tiles and focus on areas such as the floor. You may opt to place tile one horizontal strip along the wall and paint the rest. When it comes to using more expensive and artistic tile, you may want to set it alongside the cheaper tiles. You’ll save a lot of money by limiting the number of the more expensive tiles.

2. Save money on counter tops

You’ll save money on counter tops by choosing colors that are not popular and at the same not expensive. Granite countertops even in the bathroom can be expensive if you don’t know how. Another way to save is by buying a slab of granite that has imperfections. It is a lot cheaper if the imperfections are visible. You can place the sink or faucet on these imperfections so it will be hidden from plain sight. 

3. Paint

Repainting your bathroom by yourself saves you a lot of dollars but will take a lot of time than you think. Painting can give your bathroom a new look if you do it right. You have to paint slowly and gently around the windows, the shower or tub, the sink, the mirror, the toilet, and other places inside the bathroom.

Keep in mind also to buy special bathroom paint that resists mold and mildew as moisture is always present in the bathroom.

4. Save on fixtures

You can also find creative ways to save on costs on fixtures. You can replace light fixtures, sink faucets, towel racks, and even drawers for a minimal investment by using old but still usable fixtures from old houses and second hand stores. Think of buying used but still good ones.
