Choosing Materials for your Bathroom Makeover

It is easy to feel overwhelmed walking through a fancy showroom or home improvement store when searching for the right materials for your bathroom remodel.  You have so many options in color, sizes, textures and of course price.  Today more than ever, manufacturers have great looking materials designed to meet different budget points.

Materials Don't Have to Be Expensive
If your ideal bathroom has marble or granite tiles, try going with a ceramic tile look-a-like if you have a tight budget.  Maybe you are looking into glass block for a wall or look-through in your bathroom.  Have you looked into acrylic versions?  They are less expensive and actually more durable.  If you are looking at brushed platinum for your faucets, you can substitute with a brushed nickel to achieve the same look.

You have such a variety of options to go with when buying faucets, flooring, countertops and cabinets.  The variety of styles, materials and price has never been greater.  The good thing is the fixtures, fittings and other elements are more geared for the do-it-yourselfer who wants to change the look of their bathroom without hiring a contractor.
