Three Affordable Bathroom Upgrades for Under $500

If your bathroom is looking a little dated, you can still give it a refresh without spending a lot of money and time. Learn about three affordable bathroom upgrades for under $500 in this HGTV video:

1. Replace the Vanity: If you have a tired and dated vanity that’s more of an eyesore than a focal point, it’s time to replace it. Before you buy one, however, don’t choose a vanity based on looks alone. Make sure you’ll have enough storage for your lifestyle and that the countertop and sink materials are durable enough for day-to-day use. Selecting the right vanity that functions as well as it looks is key.

2. DIY Flooring Update: Another way to change up a look in a bathroom is a DIY flooring update. Even if you’re not all that handy, there are still a variety of easy installation products out there for you to choose from. Vinyl planks are a great option; they come in interesting colors and textures and can give you the look and durability of wood or tile without the hassle of a messy install. They just click into place and can be installed over the existing floor.

3. Tile the Backsplash: A new tile backsplash not only protects the wall from moisture, but it’s also easy to clean and can totally change your bathroom’s look. Whether you go with a classic affordable tile or something high-end and bold, a backsplash can add color, depth and dimension to your space. And it doesn’t take much tile to make a big impact.
