Best Bets For a Cheap Modern Bathrooms
Bathroom vanity can take up a large chunk of your renovation budget. Given that the reconstruction of the middle class bath can cost more than you think, according to the report Remodeling of value and value for 2020 , the price should not be a surprise, but they often happen. I was determined not to lose a small fortune during a recent Bathroom Renovation , but at first it seemed like an impossible task. The vanity that I fell in love with all the time cost over a thousand dollars and often did not include a counter or sink.
So yes, no. If you're looking for a reasonably priced option, try this instead:
Big Box stores
I know, I know, you don't want your bathroom to look like a Home Depot ad. But when I finally thought to skip Rejuvenation and the world's signature equipment for something a little more humble, I scored my amazing contract at Menards. The style I found was similar to the kind of stuff I was eyeing elsewhere for exponentially more money. It's worth browsing the online selection at Lowe's, Home Depot, and Menards stores - you might find some surprisingly stylish options not found in the store.
IKEA (obviously)
A budget review would not be complete without the always reliable IKEA. While you can still easily fall into the several hundred dollar range , you can also easily find ready-to-assemble dressing tables for as little as a hundred dollars. The sleek LILLANGEN is perfect for a small bathtub . As with most toiletries, there is no faucet included, but they are also available at nice prices . Of course, you know the downside: you will either collect this vanity yourself or pay to outsource it like IKEA's TaskRabbit. There's also the emotional cost of going to the mega-store for weighing.
Your favorite online store
Chances are, wherever you shop, your home can be a source of vanity. And if it's a cheaper retail chain, the price can be really good. And yes, naturally; their start is well below a hundred bucks. As with any online purchase, you need to tread carefully. What may look great on the Internet may be of poor quality after unpacking. For some inexpensive toiletries, reviews are few, so it's kind of a leap of faith. You'll also want to read the fine print to see if you're getting a flat-pack or a fully assembled vanity unit that you'll have to lug around your home and bathroom.
Second hand sources
It's no secret that Craigslist, eBay, and the Facebook Marketplace have great deals if you take the time to research their listings. But you can also browse IRLs in treasuries, which are recycling stores, Habitat Restores, flea markets, or any other assorted used goods store. How does the fuss end there? Chances are, someone is doing the same thing as you - remodeling - and they can write off taxes by donating their old materials.
Of course, there may be old destroyed relics here that are not suitable for your location. But you may be surprised at what people are unloading. Maybe it's from a new home with a new owner who has a special taste and wants to start over, or you might find a thing that just needs a little love and the owner hasn't been to DIY. In any case, theft can often be found.

Reorient
Recycling or re purposing is another way to save on Bathroom Vanity, not to mention the perfect solution if you want something unique that you won't see in any home. If you are capable (and a project like this can be pretty advanced) or you can ask someone to help you, this great cleaning bureau that you stumble upon in an antique store might just find new life as a bathroom vanity. The hardest part, they say, is to install the plumbing. If you can rotate it, it can be a very cheap way to upgrade your bath.
DIY options
Can't find a suitable dressing table? BYO! That is, start your own business or enlist the help of someone who can. If your own carpentry skills are rusted or underdeveloped, hopefully you have a cousin, sister, or uncle willing to donate some elbow grease. Wendy of H20 Bungalow built her open shelf dressing table for just a hundred dollars.
Love what you have
Who said you have to start all over again? Sometimes your vanity just needs a coat of paint and new equipment. After years of low-key aversion to the 80s oak veneer vanity unit in my old home, I devoted part of the weekend to a couple of coats of navy blue Annie Sloan chalk paint and replacing cheap hardware store drawers with fancy ones. of them. Boom - for less than a hundred dollars, we had a fresh, new look. If I was a little less lazy, I would paint the inside of the doors completely and add some fresh contact paper to the cabinet floor.
