A limited renovation budget does not mean you're stuck with a bathroom straight out of the seventy years. The good news about a bathroom renovation investment is that you might be able to recover the money at resale, provided you do not overspend and the work is of high quality.

Although too much renovation can be a wise investment, leaving your bathroom a few decades behind does not help resale value either. 

You can give your bathroom a new look and save your bank account by choosing cost effective bathroom upgrades and keeping these renovation ideas in mind.

One step after another

Planning ahead will help to ensure that your choices fit within your overall budget and help you achieve a consistent style in your bathroom remodeled. Many renovators are hindered by bathroom remodeling, but you do not have the approach to go all or nothing in a costly renovation to reap the benefits of an updated room. 

Resourcefulness with retrofit

Many cities, states and utility providers offer rebates, credits or other incentives for replacing toilets, faucets and showerheads with water conservation with low-flow models. 

Taking advantage of incentives offered by energy conservation programs can help you stay within your renovation budget, with the added benefit of reduced utility expenses each month.

Hiring professionals for the job right

If you are relatively convenient, a great way to save money is to tackle some jobs yourself and hire a professional to those who are outside of your skills. 

Make an honest assessment of your capabilities and time availability is the key to this decision, especially as the subpar quality of work can do more harm than it helps the home's value.
