Your bathroom is probably one of the most important rooms in your home, and not just for practical reasons. It can be a haven of peace and tranquility and also show off your sense of style when guests visit. Most of us at some point want to remodel our bathroom; decor goes out of style, our family gets bigger or smaller as the kids get older or we want to add a new feature.

The good news is that a bathroom remodel doesn’t have to cost a fortune! You can have a whole new look, change or add different accessories for less than you think. For example, a new vanity and countertops can transform a bathroom with a completely different look. There are so many different styles of vanity and cabinet accessories that your only problem may be choosing between them. You may want one with a double sink configuration for a “his and hers” bathroom or two separate vanities that form an “L” in a corner that was previously wasted space. Corian countertops to finish them will be beautiful and will prevent the accumulation of bacteria and dirt. There are even dressers and cabinets that resemble bamboo for a warm, tropical look and feel.

Mirrors are another inexpensive way to modernize and beautify your bathroom. There are many styles, both ornate and simple, and in all sizes and shapes. Mirrors range from charming to futuristic, from functional to playful.

Perhaps you are not satisfied with your shower or bath combination. You can change that very simply or replace everything. Sometimes adding glass shower doors will modernize and beautify a bathroom. If you have an oddly shaped shower, you can choose a Magnafold Elite folding glass door. For tight spaces near cabinets or a dresser, there’s the Magnafold 2 glass folding door. Both are beautiful and easy to care for. You can add a luxurious bathtub to your bathroom or ditch an existing older model in favor of a modernized shower.

As you redesign your bathroom, you should think about a railing, or railings, in and around the tub/shower and toilet. A bar rail isn’t just for seniors – it has prevented many slip and fall accidents for people of all ages. If you consider moving in the future, some of these rails will only increase the value of your home and make it accessible to all age groups.

Decorative bathroom items are another way to update or change your bathroom decor. You may even want to replace faucets or install new windows to affordably update an otherwise satisfactory bathroom. Getting a “new” bathroom doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
