One of the most important rooms in any Australian home is the bathroom and it is where we spend many hours in a week either getting ready for work or school in the morning or getting ready to go out on the weekends with friends and family. It is the one room in the house where it is acceptable to lock the door and even the kids understand that. This is why you need to get it right when it comes to this very important room and many Australians who move into a new home or at least a home that is new to them, want to immediately make changes in the bathroom area.
Many of us are restricted by the budget that we have and so we want to have the bathroom of our dreams but we also want to be able to do bathroom renovations that are affordable and practical as well. If your bathroom is currently ready for some kind of renovation then the following are just some of the top renovation ideas that are available to you right at this very moment.
- Change out the tiles – This includes the tiles on the floor and the tiles on the walls because this is a very affordable thing to do and they come in many different shapes, colours and sizes. There is bound to be a tile set out there that meets your approval and that allows you to create a room that looks completely different than before. This might also be a job that you will be able to do yourself but it always makes sense to turn to the professionals every single time.
- Install a small bathtub – It is true that we don’t use the bathtub very many times but there are sometimes on a particularly busy and stressful week that we would love to immerse ourselves in some hot water but we can’t. We constantly complain that a bathtub takes up an incredible amount of room in an already small bathroom area but the good news is that you can invest in a smaller one the still allows you to enjoy the benefits.
- Consider some LED lights – The lighting in a bathroom is important and it might be an idea to have a dimmer light switch fitted so that you can turn the lights off when you’re doing something like shaving but you can turn the lights down when you want to light a few candles and to just relax and let your stress fade away. To add a little bit of fun, you could add some coloured LEDs to bring some much-needed warmth to the whole area.
These are just three ideas and there are many more. Depending on the budget that you have to spend, there are many other things that you can do like swapping out the current sink that you have for something a bit more compact and environmentally friendly. Placing mirrors in the bathroom creates the illusion of space.
