Transforming a bathroom into a stylish, functional space doesn’t have to break the bank. In this featured article from The Black Goose Design, discover practical tips and creative ideas for achieving a stunning bathroom remodel on a budget.
We’ve already had so many ask, so we’ll start with this FAQ – what paint did we use? We went with:
- Intrigue by Benjamin Moore
- Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore
- Accessible Beige by Sherwin Williams
This building was built in the early 1900s. Due to structural difficulties, we couldn’t necessarily move walls or make drastic changes, but we were able to drop the height of the bathroom ceiling. The new ceiling presented the perfect space to add can lights. Updated lighting is a quick, cost-effective way to make a BIG difference in any room.
We updated the large cabinetry with a fresh coat of paint (Intrigue by Benjamin Moore) and new hardware, which added instant sophistication.
The walls received fresh paint, as well as gorgeous wallpaper. Along the seam, we added a chair rail, and wainscoting provided the finishing touch.
If you have floor tile that feels dated, paint could be just the ticket. Yes, you can actually paint ceramic tile, which provides all sorts of creative potential. The trick is a durable topcoat. We used the Corotech Command by Benjamin Moore.
The sink is a focal feature in any bathroom, so this is where much of our budget was invested. We had a new countertop and faucet installed. We also added fresh paint, updated hardware, a new mirror, and a cool pendant light. We also incorporated classic countertop decor, all of which is available at The Black Goose Design.
This is a long, lean bathroom. Using the same paint color on the cabinets, walls and woodwork with clean lines all help to make this space feel more welcoming. Credenzas, buffets, sideboards, and sofa tables are also all options that tend to work well in narrow areas. Plus, since bathroom storage is often a high priority, this provides a space for smaller baskets that help keep your everyday items within reach and organized.
More than anything, we wanted this redesign to stay true to its roots. Features like original light switches, the blank window above the door, and the radiator all add charm and personality. With every design choice we made, we were careful to select finishes that play to the original character of the building.
