Paint is way more inexpensive than tiles. Hence, using paint to freshen up the bathroom is a great idea. But if you still want to use some tiles, you can limit the tiles to a certain area of the bathroom to create a impact and save on tile layouts as well. Focus on getting the floor tiled, instead of the floor AND the walls. Should you want some tiles on the wall, you can probably tile a horizontal wall strip and leave the rest to paint. Lesser tiles mean bigger savings, and the walls can be kept interesting with a touch of pretty paint color or even with a stenciled wall design for an added impact. You need to be sure that you use high-quality satin-finish paint, as this is resistant to molds, moisture and mildew.

  • Do not completely replace all bath fixtures if they’re still usable and in good design taste.
