Tag: Bathroom Renovation Service

Let’s face it – the cost of a bathroom renovation is bigger and bigger nowadays and can easily get out of control. Even if you are looking for a cost-effective bathroom renovation, there are many quick-fixes that cost money and are usually more expensive than you think.

Below, we are listing the best ways to save money and invest in a cheap bathroom renovation.

1.Create and stick to a specific budget

A cheap bathroom renovation starts with a specified budget. In other words, you have to know what a ‘budget bathroom renovation’ means in terms of budget – and know how much of your total income or savings is allotted for the purchase.

The goal here is to start a dollar amount that you are able to stick with before making design choices for your bathroom. Then, you can price your fixtures and materials and start grasping on what will work and what won’t (regarding your budget).

2.Pay in cash

Many Aucklanders are used to paying with credit cards nowadays. However, as simple as it is, paying for your project with money that you already have will help you save a significant amount of money that you would otherwise pay in interest (in case you take out a loan).

On top of this, paying in cash will help you better estimate a project and its real value. If it goes over your budget, it might make sense for you to think financially – whether to take out a loan and if it’s truly worth it.

3.Be patient

They say that patience is a virtue. When it comes to cheap bathroom design, this is absolutely true. Time can be your friend when planning a bathroom renovation in New Zealand. If you rush things, you will most likely regret some of the choices you make.

This is why ideally, you should start with one or two elements or fixtures in your bathroom and finish them before moving to the rest of it. It is up to you to prioritise what will come first and what comes in the second line of renovations.

4.DIY (Do It Yourself)

One of the best ways to save money during a home renovation is to do things yourself. Even though you might think “I am not much of a handy/renovation type of person”, you would be surprised to learn how simple some fixes can be during your bathroom redesign.

You can use YouTube and learn new skills and take your time to do it right. And if you don’t have the tools, you can always rent them from a local hardware store and save extra cash on your cheap bathroom renovation.

5.Re-use your existing materials

Last but not the least is a tactic that many Aucklanders use when saving on their bathroom renovation. We are talking about reusing your existing bathroom materials – or repurposing them in your home.

For example, your primary bathroom’s cabinetry can easily fit your second bathroom – which makes an easy decision to change the style or replace the doors but leave the cabinet body in place. You can even buy materials and fixtures from salvage yards.

A Final Word

In the end, it is safe to say that a cheap bathroom renovation in New Zealand starts with your budget, needs and desire to do things yourself. The process can be a lot of fun and will definitely add much more character to your bathroom.

Bathrooms are one of the most highly used rooms in the Auckland homes where owner spend time pampering themselves and relaxing, so it’s no wonder if they want it to feel and look as lavish as possible. Renovating your bathroom is a great way of updating the home, moreover it can also add value to the home.

If you are considering a bathroom renovation, these are some of the latest bathroom renovation Auckland trends of 2018.

Include more Storage

Most bathrooms look messy and unkempt because of toiletries and other items lying around. Auckland Bathroom owners in 2018 are adding more storage in their bathroom so that all those things can be safely stored away giving the bathroom a chick and modern look. Drawers, cabinets, and shelves are great for bathrooms. You can also consider having an invisible storage to create an impression of space. The tidier your bathroom space is, the bigger it appears.

Adding plants

Auckland is a home to diverse plants and beautiful diaspora. Plants are not only great for your living room, they can also make your bathroom great. Plants generally love humidity and the bathroom provides lots of that. Some plants smell great and will help the bathroom smell nice without putting artificial sprays. These plants may be placed in dedicated areas or just around the room as space allows.

Three-Dimensional Tile

Manufacturers nowadays now create all sorts of three-dimensional designs using basic tiles. There are lots of designs and shapes to choose from. These designs are not just used on the bathroom floor, they can also be used on shower walls, as bathroom backsplashes, and ceiling accents for bold accents. These designs are great for bathroom renovations in Auckland.

The Industrial Look

Designers of Auckland bathrooms are implementing unique and imperfect pieces such as the washbasins or metal bathtubs and incorporating that into the stylish modern bathroom. The result is an industrial feel whenever homeowners step into the bathroom. The beauty of this trend is that homeowners do not need to go all out and they can get this bathroom look by self-creating the look they desire.

Wood finishes

Wood is the new tile for Auckland bathroom renovations. Apart from the fact that wood finishes are pleasing to look at, it also brings warmth to the bathroom in colder climates. It is also great for walls and storage spaces of the bathroom.

A renovated bathroom will always add value to your property. Bathrooms and Kitchens are the two rooms in a house that people always look at when they buy a home. Hence, it comes as no surprise that most people have these two rooms as their top priority when renovating their homes.

Most home buyers do not want to put in too much work when they buy a house. They mostly want to buy a structurally good house with a good layout and up to date fixtures. A house which is too old with dated fixtures will not look appealing to a new buyer.

So we can conclude that bathroom renovations do indeed add value to a home. There is however a risk which comes with bathroom renovations. The problem occurs when people spend too much money on renovating a bathroom because they feel that the return on investment will be huge. This however is not true.

A buyer is not looking for an extravagant bathroom with the the best design. They are in fact looking for a bathroom which has good plumbing, up to date fixtures and a bathroom that complements the house. Our renovation experts have put together a few things to keep in mind when renovating so you get the best return on investment by adding value rather than over spending. Ask yourself the following questions:

When are you planning to sell the house?

This is a very good question to ask as it will determine what exactly you should be renovating in your bathroom.

If you are planning on selling your house sometime in the future then make sure that you are not renovating your bathroom based on a current trend. A ‘current trend’ could go out of fashion and hence make your bathroom feel dated in the future. Keep the renovation simple by using good quality products, having a good plumbing system, a good layout, and trend neutral fixtures.

If you are planning on selling the house sometime soon then make sure your bathroom renovation plan is in sync with the rest of the house when the sale occurs. If your house is old and in need of some refurbishment then there is no point just renovating the bathroom. The renovated bathroom will not add value to such a property. The better thing to do would be to spread out your budget and refurbish all  the important things around the house rather than spending all your money on your bathroom.

Renovated Bathrooms can add value to your property when it comes to putting your house on the market

Does the style of your bathroom match the the rest of the house?

Your bathroom does not have to exactly match the rest of your house in terms of style. Most people have bathrooms that are versatile when it comes to style.

They more or less have the same feel as the rest of the house. The problem occurs when a bathroom is polar opposite from the rest of the house. An example would be an ultra modern sleek bathroom in a contemporary or a country styled home.

The type of tile you use in your bathroom depends largely on the size of your bathroom

Have you budgeted the renovation properly?

Once you have an idea as to your renovation needs, make a budget that is realistic and accommodates the important things on your renovation plan.

Work out whether you want to make structural changes, change all the floors or carry out small and minor renovations. Once you have done that then make sure you consult and get quotes from different companies in order to compare them. Do not settle for the first company that you see. Be clear about your budget and stay within it.

White bathrooms can be a beautiful canvas for your ideas. Often people associate white bathrooms with tasteless rooms that remind them of sterile hospital rooms. With a little effort these tasteless rooms can be transformed into a room of elegance.

Browse some magazines, look at some design websites or simply look at our list of ideas to transform your dated bathroom to suit your style.

1. Add Accessories

This is definitely the most easy and fun way to make a plain white bathroom look wonderful. Add some colourful towels, or a nice basket with rolled up towels, floor mats, long jars, toothbrush holders, nice soap dishes etc. The possibilities are endless and they are easy to switch and change around to give you a different look every few months.

Adding a few colourful accessories truly transform your white bathroom.

2. Nature and Plants

Bring nature right inside your bathroom for a serene and peaceful experience. Add a nice vase of flowers on your counter top to enliven the space and give it some character. You could also put large and leafy potted plants in the corners to give your bathroom fresh and cleaning environment. Another idea could be to hang plants from the ceiling.

3. Add a Feature wall

Create a focal point in your otherwise white bathroom with a feature wall. You could either have a lot of colourful tiles or beautiful mosaic on one side of the wall to give it a nice Moorish feel. Another idea would be have a wall embedded with pebbles, behind a shower or a bathtub to give it a truly outdoor feel. The way to preserve the integrity of your bathroom is to have everything else in shades of white except the feature wall.

The ‘pebble wall’ gives a dramatic effect in this otherwise white bathroom

4. Add Warmth with shades of ‘white’

Having your entire bathroom in one shade of white can make your bathroom look sterile and cold. But if you add different shades of white to your bathroom, it will make it look elegant and warm. Also add some brass, ivory and metal to your bathroom accessories and fixtures to give it a truly luxurious feel.

5. Add Textures

Having different textured materials in your bathroom will add depth and character to your bathroom. An example would be having a shiny white wood with a marble sink on your vanity.

6. Add some colour

Add a splash of colour by adding some colourful paintings, towels or even replacing parts of the fixtures. An example would be to change the toilet seat to black or red or replacing your faucets and showerheads to nice brassy gold.

Tiling your bathroom in Auckland can be quite an overwhelming task. There are so many options and styles that it can be easy to get confused. People often loose their vision for their bathroom amidst all the options available online or in a catalog.

The reason people often take their time in choosing tiles is because floors and tiles are a big part of a bathroom. They can make a small bathroom look bigger or revamp an old bathroom. Follow our simple guideline in order to change the risky business of choosing the right tiles to a downright fun experience.

1. Size

The size and shape of your bathroom has to be taken into consideration when choosing tiles for the bathroom. You might like colour black and want your bathroom to look like an elegant powder room out of a bond movie, however if it is a small space then it will end up making your bathroom look even smaller. Use light coloured tiled in small spaces to make your bathroom look bigger and airier. If you do want to add a bit of character then add some colourful tiles in the corners or even the centre of your light coloured tiles.

The type of tile you use in your bathroom depends largely on the size of your bathroom

2. Look of your bathroom

Bathroom tiles can really change the look of your bathroom. Fixtures are only a part of the appeal in a bathroom, the real heroes are in fact the tiles. They can truly revamp your bathroom to suit your taste and style. If you are looking for an elegant touch or are you after a fresh and clean feel? The colour, textures and design of your tiles can unleash great potential for your bathroom.

3) Material of your tiles

 Style and mood is all well good, but do not forget the practicality. The kind of material your tiles are made of can change the style of your bathroom. However different materials have different maintenance needs and hence should be taken into account while choosing the tiles for your bathroom.

Different materials have different maintenance needs. Choose the right tile for your family

4) Feature or not to feature

Featuring tiles on a wall or as an outline to the floors is a way to add that wow factor to your bathroom. Whether you want to add a set of feature tiles or not really depends on the kind of style you are going for. If you are planning to sell your home then make sure that your feature tiles are up to date with the current styles. Sometimes when you want to revamp the bathroom but do not want to change your entire floor tiles then you can opt for adding some nice tiles on one side of the wall and make it the focus of your bathroom.

5) Cost

Staying within your budget can prove quite a difficult task when renovating your bathroom. Good quality tiles can be quite expensive depending on the size of your bathroom. Our advice to our clients is to stretch their budget if need be and invest in some good quality tiles. Inferior tiles might fit in your budget initially but they will not last as long as good quality tiles which in turn will cost you more in the long run. Good quality tiles does not always equate to expensive. It is possible to find cheaper tiles if you do your research well. You should definitely try and get as many quotes are possible before deciding on the type of change you want to make.

Planning your bathroom renovation can be a very daunting task especially when you do not know where to begin! Follow our step by step process to get that perfect plan for your bathroom renovation.

Ask yourself a few questions

• What exactly do you want?
• Do you only want a few fixtures or all of them replaced?
• Are your floors looking shabby and need replacing or are they staying?
• How about the walls?
• Is the design of your bathroom quite dated or do you like the look of your bathroom?
• Do you want 1 bathroom renovated or do you want all of them done?
• Do you need the layout changed to make your bathroom just a little bit more spacious?

Research

Write your answers down in your notebook so you have clarity on what is going and what is staying. Research is always the most important aspect of any renovation. If you research is not thorough then you are most likely going be full of regrets in the future.

Read online articles, and book specific to the kind of bathroom you are renovating. Look at what other bathrooms with a similar space look like. Go to a few shops around Auckland to see what kind of fixtures you like.

If you are after a certain look, then look around your home or other furniture shops to see if you could reuse cabinets and vanities for your bathroom. Don’t get too carried away with trends. When you research styles online or otherwise you will realise that there are certain looks that you are not fond of which will help you narrow down the look you actually want.

It is also a good idea to compare prices for the things that you do want to change in your bathroom. You might like see if you could get cheaper but high quality alternatives to premium branded fixtures. Many Auckland shops stock premium quality materials and fixtures which are in fact of better quality than their Italian counterparts.

Showrooms can give you a feel for how your fixtures feel and look

Plumbing

Our advice to clients is always to keep the plumbing the way it is and only changing it if absolutely necessary. Changing existing plumbing can put an astronomical strain on your budget. Try and plan your layout and design around your current plumbing to stay within your budget. Most renovation companies will give you plenty of options in term of layout and design. Also don’t forget to do your own research.

Make sure you have a clear picture about the plumbing system of your bathroom

Professional Quotes

If you are making small changes to your bathroom then it would not be such a bad idea to make the changes on your own. However it is always best not to try and renovate your bathroom on your own based on a YouTube video. Sometimes it is best to leave certain things on the professionals.

Ring a few companies before you decide on the one you want to employ as your bathroom renovators. Don’t rush things, get a few quotes, talk to the owner of the company and make sure they have understood what you require before signing the contract. A good renovation company would typically have a free consultation; give you detailed drawings of your plan, giving you options on designs and material before asking for a deposit. We always tell our clients to talk to several companies before deciding on which company to choose.
