How to Upgrade Your Bathroom on a Budget

 

Upgrading your primary bathroom on a budget of $15,000??  YES!  It's possible, and totally doable with the right strategy and the right materials.  I'm here to show you how you can transform your space without breaking the bank using affordable, yet stylish options like Armada cabinetry, and LVP, which is luxury vinyl plank.  Let's get into it!

Hi!  My name is Shelly, and I am the Director of Armada Design Center in Bellevue, and I am so excited to show you today how you can do an incredible bathroom on a small budget!  If you're wondering whether this actually works, I've done this myself!  My own home is a great example of upgrading on a budget.  While we can't go into specifics of every project right now, I can assure you that with Armada Cabinetry and LVP, the transformation was absolutely incredible, and very budget friendly!  These materials gave my bathroom a spa-like feel without a skyhigh price!  

You've got to choose the right materials.  Let's talk about Armada cabinetry.  If you're looking for functional, yet beautiful cabinetry, Armada has a range of styles and colors that will elevate your bathroom.  Whether you prefer modern finishes or classic wood tones, there's plenty of options to suit your style.  These cabinets are not only functional, they add life and vibrancy to your bathroom creating a space that feels fresh and new.  

Are you ready to create your dream bathroom on a budget?  Let's chat about how Armada cabinetry and LVP can bring your vision to life!  Reach out to me today and let's start planning your beautiful bathroom transformation!

Let’s talk about luxury vinyl plank (LVP).  If you love the look of wood, but need the durability of something waterproof, LVP is an absolute game changer!  In my own bathroom, I used long length wood look LVP which looks just like real wood, but with the waterproof benefits that make it perfect for any bathroom.   Plus you can go with a tile look if that's more your style.  This is called LVT, or luxury vinyl tile.  

You can start with design, not demolition, when upgrading your bathroom.  Prioritize functionality and aesthetic, but don't jump into major renovations right away.  It's all about smart choices.  Start with an Interior Designer who can help bring your vision to life within your budget.  The key to saving money is keeping plumbing and electrical systems in the same place.   Avoid relocating fixtures that can send your cost skyrocketing.  Instead, consider a “lipstick fix”.  That’s  what we call it in the industry.  What that means is basically an approach that's refreshing what's already in place with new materials, new design, and fresh perspective.  This will make everything look brand new without the hefty price tag of a full remodel. 

So, a lot of people ask me, “How do you allocate your budget if you're just upgrading the bathroom?” Start with the essentials!  Your cabinets, your flooring, your lighting, and your paint.  These changes can transform the space without moving walls or plumbing.  Think about where to splurge.  Perhaps on lighting and high-end finishes.  And, think about where to save with LVP, or get refreshed cabinetry with new door fronts instead of replacing the whole cabinet box.  The right combination will make your bathroom feel like a luxurious retreat without costing a fortune! With a little creativity and the right materials, you can upgrade your primary bathroom into a beautiful functional space without going over budget.  By making some smart decisions like using Armada Cabinetry and LVP, you'll be able to create a bathroom that's stylish, durable, and luxurious, all for under $15,000!!  That's what I said under $15,000!
