If your bathroom has the blahs, try changing out a few products using today’s design trends. Furniture styled vanities, glass wall tile, and a decorative chandelier can turn your space around in short order.

Bathroom remodeling doesn’t have to involve a major gutting and reconfiguring. You just have to find the right contractor (or have the skills yourself) and add some creative touches. Pick and choose a few places where a new product can make a difference.

Bathroom Remodeling: Your Vanity

Start with the vanity area. Many people focus their bathroom remodeling around furniture styled pieces. The vanity is the perfect place for that, as it is a key focal point in the room. While some wooden vanities are over the top cost-wise, shop around and you should be able to find one in your budget. Look for carved legs, fluted vertical molding and fancy hardware to top it off.

If you’re handy or have a contractor who does small jobs, you can take a basic vanity and add molding and a rich, dark stain. This can save the cost of buying a vanity with all the details. Plus, you get to design it yourself.

Light Up Your Bathroom Design

Lighting is another hot item to consider when planning your new bathroom design. Decorative sconces can spruce up the mirror above your new bathroom vanity. Or, go with a fancy chandelier for a whole different look. (Unless you’ve installed electrical products, check with a contractor on this one).

The wall above the vanity offers endless possibilities for self expression. Glass wall tile is just one option. Glass tiles come in a rainbow of colors and treatments, from muted to crystal clear and can work with any bathroom remodeling design. Check out this blue wall tile design.

There are many ways to do a bathroom remodeling on a modest budget. Just be selective about what you replace and think about what could bring the most drama for the buck.
