Bathroom Remodeling for Less Than $5,000

Keeping what works and shopping smart can help you keep your remodeling budget under control. See how to transform a basic bathroom into a high-style retreat for less than $5,000 in this Better Homes and Gardens video:

These homeowners created a beautiful retreat that didn’t break the budget by adding a rich color palette and creative design solutions.

By keeping the existing vanity, flooring and tub, this bathroom’s budget was used to add much needed personality with a mix of wood tones and finishes. A painted wood plank wall instantly cozies up the room and accentuates the bathroom’s ten-foot ceilings.

A remnant slab of dark-veined granite tops the existing vanity and brings the bathroom’s new color palette together at a cost much lower than that of a custom countertop.

Two dark wood framed mirrors, purchased at a home discount store for $79 each, replace the plain plate glass mirrors and give the room a custom look. A linen window shade and wall-mounted rustic storage bins give the tub area a punch of style.
