How to Make Over Your Bath on a $500 Budget
You don’t need a lot of money to transform a blank canvas bath into a spa-like retreat. Learn how to make over your bath on a $500 budget in this Better Homes and Gardens video:
Go for a sophisticated color palette. Soft taupe walls and calming blue accents paired with crisp black and white accessories accomplishes the look.
Give existing fixtures a fresh look. Layers of paint, stain and glaze, as well as a sanded finish, give this featured vanity antique appeal. Crystal knobs add sparkle, and a new faucet imparts modern style.
For a budget-friendly window valance, try a stenciled canvas drop cloth. To add impact to your walls, hang custom artwork in an inexpensive black frame. A mirror cut to size for only $5 completes the look.
When it comes to the floor, vinyl tiles create the look of stone for less. And for extra storage, add a freestanding shelf unit to hide accessories and store towels.
