Fixtures

• Changing the fixtures in your bathroom is the most expensive but most dramatic change you can make. This is a project that will require time, effort and possibly a contractor. Look at different fixtures to determine the style you want in your bathroom. For example, if you like the look of glass vessel sinks, sleek fixtures and accessories probably appeal to you, as well. Or find a faucet that's exactly what you want, and let that guide you as you decide on your fixtures.
  
  

Linens

• Choosing all new linens is a fast and simple way to remodel a bathroom. If you have company coming, and you want your bathroom to look updated, head to the store and look for towels, a shower curtain, rugs and window curtains that fit your color preferences or overall theme. A good cleaning of your bathroom and all new linens can make a bathroom sparkle. Add a few accessories like new towel bars and a new toilet-paper holder to complete this inexpensive redo.
  
  

Walls

• Painting or tiling the walls of your bathroom is another way to remodel without spending a lot of money. Bathroom walls can start to look dingy over time, especially if they're mildewed. Cover the bathroom and trim with mildew-resistant paint, and add some new towels, and you will have a whole new bathroom. A new vanity mirror and lighting will help, as will a few pieces of art. If you have a bathroom that gets particularly steamy, stay away from framed art with plastic or glass that can collect moisture. A humid atmosphere will quickly ruin these pieces. Instead, look for crafts that are one piece and can be hung from the wall or placed on a shelf.
  
  

Floors

• Redoing the floors in a bathroom can be costly but can change the room dramatically. Consider the pros and cons of laminate, wood and tile floors. Vinyl is inexpensive and easy to maintain but not as stylish as ceramic tile or stone. A wood floor needs to be sealed thoroughly before it's used in a bathroom, because the moisture can cause it to expand and contract. Keep your fixtures in mind, as well, so that your flooring will complement them.
