Of course, only professional builders will be able to carry out the entire renovation on their own.

But ordinary people can also take on some of the work. What kind of work – said designer Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.

Make an estimate

Start by creating a detailed estimate. Determine how much you can spend on the renovation and make a detailed list of what you can afford within that budget.

Consider the cost of dismantling, purchasing finishing materials, furniture and accessories. By the way, ideas for bathroom design can be found in specialized magazines, where not only the cost of materials is often indicated, but also their required quantity.

Choose a bath

In a small bathroom, you can install a shower cabin, a minimal-sized corner bath, or arrange a shower with a drain in the floor.

The latter option is ideal for very small spaces and does not require the installation of shower trays.

Think about the coverage

The ideal covering for the walls and floor in the bathroom is ceramic tile. The choice of color and texture depends on your preferences. Glossy tiles are more practical, and matte tiles without glaze are more convenient and less slippery.

If you are planning a budget renovation, you can stick tiles on the lower part of the walls and the floor, and paint the upper part of the walls and the ceiling with waterproof paint. The paint should be applied in 2-3 layers using rollers of different sizes.
