The bathroom sets the mood for the start of the day and a modern, yet functional bathroom is an essential part of a dream home. When it comes to renovating or designing our dream bathroom, the first step is to find bathroom products or fittings under our budget. The good news is that there are now brands with budget-friendly bathroom ideas and fittings that can transform ordinary bathrooms to a luxury space.

Here are a few fabulous tips to renovate your bathrooms, to get the functional décor that you want within your budget! Get ready to soak in relaxing mode!

Have a plan before you start: A bathroom makeover can be exciting and fun but can end up being messy and expensive, unless planned well. Start bathroom renovation with a clear plan in mind and design on paper. A simple way to go about it is to transform the 3 essentials of a bathroom – closet, faucets and the shower. Visit a sanitary ware showroom nearby to understand current trends and styles in bathroom products and the available options of bathroom fittings and accessories. Careful planning can save a lot of time and money in the long run!

Transform the Closet: Replacing your old toilet with a modern and compact closet can make your bathroom feel more spacious and more luxurious. Modern closets from renowned brands like Johnson Pedder come in a wide range of styles with all the luxury features you would expect in a full-sized toilet.

Combination Units, also called Single Piece Suites, are a practical yet modern option – by efficiently integrating toilet and basin, they make the best use of space.

To transform an outdated bathroom into a very contemporary one, go for the wall hung closet – it is incredibly compact, and the floating look is both minimalistic and chic. Pair it with a wall hung basin for the ultimate feeling of spaciousness.

If you would rather prefer a spacious option, go for the – Wall hung Water Closet, a back to wall toilet that frees up much needed space. This is especially a cost-effective option if the hidden cistern and waste pipe are already in place.

Transform the Shower: Building in a walk-in shower room is an easy way to transform your bathroom into an oasis of indulgence. While a traditional European – style shower bath comes with a tub, for Indian conditions, a shower enclosure with the right fittings should be enough to bring a sense of modernity and elegance. Go for a shower column if you want your shower to be a daily indulgence – the body sprayer can massage the body or produce a relaxing mist. If you like the heady feeling of standing underneath a water fall, go for a good quality overhead shower (rain shower head) – and add a hand shower for that extra zing.

Remember to provide space for your bath and shower necessities – while a wall-hung unit can serve the purpose, building in a custom niche for storage can be both aesthetic and permanent.

Transform the Faucets: In a bathroom overhaul, the humble faucets, if chosen well, can actually be the crown jewels! Available in an astonishing variety of shapes and features, with options for interactivity and water conservation, today’s bathroom faucets offer every convenience.

The motion – activated, hands free faucet – also known as the sensor range – is all the ragein the post pandemic world! These touch-less faucets, apart from being ideal for a cleaner and healthier handwash, are also water efficient.

Single Hole or Single lever faucets, combining the spout and mixing handles with a single lever, is ideal for smaller sinks. The Quarter Turn faucet integrates 2 taps, mixer and the spout into an elegant design and is suitable for most bathroom sinks.

Whatever faucet you choose, make sure you match the faucet type to the hole openings in your sink. While you will have a great variety of faucet finishes to choose from, make sure they are coordinated with the finish of other fittings and fixtures in the bathroom – polished chrome, the traditional favourite, is a safe bet.
