Don't fret—your bathroom reno doesn't have to cost a fortune to look chic.
Bathrooms are the great equalizer in every home, and
whether you like it or not, we spend a ton of time in them. Remember,
loving every room of your home is possible—even the less glamorous ones!
And
since we're all too aware of the high costs that come with renovating
your bathroom, we consulted the experts to see where you can splurge and
where you can save when planning out your powder room.
Focus On Function
According to James Tabb,
“Splurge on the utilitarian aspects of the bathroom and save on the
decorative components." A bathroom's functionality should always take
the front seat, so make sure to “invest in a good toilet and a good
shower head," he says.

Dial Back the Tile
Sharon Copeland
says that porcelain or ceramic tiles are good alternatives to their
pricier alternates, like marble or limestone. She also insists that you
can still achieve a fun, eye-catching tile design on the cheap. She
says, “There are so many ways to configure tile to make a statement!"

Know What's Below
If you're embarking on a mission to do more than swap out the towels and bath mats, Amanda Dixon advises to “Keep the plumbing in the same locations, or at least close, and you won't need to tear up the whole sub-flooring."

Reign in Your Vanity
We could all use a vanity check every
now and then. Both James and Taylor Anderson agree that it's possible to
find cheap yet chic vanities. Taylor says, “You can find great
freestanding vanities for over half the price of a custom built-in."
