The Right Bathroom Upgrades For Your Budget.
Bathroom Upgradges—whether you’re working with a big budget or keeping it tight—can still make a huge impact.
We’re breaking down where to spend and where to save to get the most bang for your buck. From spa-worthy splurges (hello, heated floors 😍) to small upgrades that totally transform your space (paint + lighting = magic), we’ve got tips that work at every price point.
BIG BUDGET SPLURGES:
HEATED FLOORS
A touch of luxury you’ll appreciate daily. Warm toes in the winter? Yes, please.
Why it’s worth it: Once you experience radiant heat, there’s no going back—it adds comfort and resale value in colder climates.
CUSTOM CABINETRY + BUILT INS
Make the most of your space with storage that fits your lifestyle.
Why it’s worth it: Tailored storage not only looks great, it keeps your space functional and clutter-free—especially in busy family bathrooms.
WALK-IN SHOWERS OR WET ROOMS
Sleek, modern, and ultra-functional.
Why it’s worth it: These layouts feel open and luxurious while being easier to clean and accessible for all ages and abilities.
STATEMENT TILE
Whether it’s handmade, large-format, or artful mosaics, this sets the tone for the whole space.
Why it’s worth it: Eye-catching tile becomes the focal point. It’s your chance to infuse personality or timeless style—and you only need a little in the right place.
INTEGRATED LIGHTING (in mirros, niches, toe kicks)
A polished, high-end finish that elevates the room.
Why it’s worth it: Layered lighting makes a bathroom feel more like a spa. It also improves visibility and ambiance without adding clutter.
HIGH-END PLUMBING FIXTURES
Go for quality brands that combine style with performance.
Why it’s worth it: Although they can get pricy, a bold or beautifully designed fixture can anchor the whole space. They’re also more durable—meaning fewer drips, stains, or replacements over time.
SMALLER BUDGET? SMART WAYS TO SAVE + SPEND:
PAINT
The most budget-friendly refresh. A new wall color can transform the entire feel of the space.
Why it’s worth it: Color sets the mood. Whether you're going bold or calming, fresh paint makes the room feel intentional and updated—with just a roller and a weekend.
LIGHTING
Updating your fixtures instantly modernizes the room.
Why it’s worth it: Light can make or break a bathroom. Swapping in a modern fixture adds style and function—better lighting for daily routines and a big aesthetic payoff.
HARDWARE
Swap out dated drawer pulls and faucets for something sleek and fresh.
Why it’s worth it: It’s like jewelry for your bathroom. New knobs, pulls, and fixtures are easy to install but completely change the tone of the space.
MIRROR UPGRADE
Whether it’s handmade, large-format, or artful mosaics, this sets the tone for the whole space.
Why it’s worth it: Mirrors add personality, bounce light, and can visually expand the room. Go for a shape or frame that complements your style.
NEW VANITY TOP OR FAUCET
If a full vanity swap isn’t in the cards, upgrading just the countertop or sink hardware can work wonders.
Why it’s worth it: These targeted updates give your bathroom a facelift without the cost (or mess) of full replacement—and they draw the eye right where it counts.
PRO TIP:
NO MATTER YOUR BUDGET, ALWAYS START WITH A CLEAR PALN. PRIORITIZE FUNCTION FIRST, THEN LAYER IN BEAUTY.
THE BEST SPACE ARE BOTH FUNCTIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL.
