Modern bathrooms showcase a simplistic appeal that is considered to be fresh and uplifting. Achieving this on a budget isn’t as difficult as it may seem. At Bathshack, we believe that there is an abundance of affordable improvements you can make to your bathroom, but first you will need to know what to look out for. This process can demand a lot of your time which is why we have created this guide on how to create the perfect modern bathroom on a budget.
If you’re looking to modernise your bathroom, things needn’t be expensive. Replacing fittings, flooring and tiles or repainting walls is a quick way to get a refresh. If your layout isn’t quite right, think about the ways you might be able to make small but effective changes. As you think of improving or renovating your bathroom space, it is worth thinking of the things you will need from your bathroom in the future. Your circumstances may change and the things you may not find use for now may be useful a few years down the line.
It’s also a good idea to visit a local bathroom showroom for advice. If you do feel like you need extra advice you can refer to our bathroom planner or ask a member of our team for assistance.
One of the very first things you'll need to do when changing your bathroom is to take measurements. As soon as you have obtained this information, you can begin to look into what will work well in your bathroom.
If your bathroom is on the smaller side you may find that there are more design restrictions which can be frustrating especially if you are trying to stick to a budget. However, with a range of space-saving, affordable products available from Bathshack, it is now easier than ever to plan the layout of your bathroom...
Part of creating a modern atmosphere is to keep things simple. Simplicity is essentially the rule of thumb for modern design. It is important that you keep the space feeling open and eliminate clutter from the equation. To prevent the return of the clutter, plan to add some stylish storage spaces as you design or refresh your bathroom Use built-in shelving and cabinetry to hide unwanted personal items. Leave all toiletries and novelty items out of your bathroom space, this is a place for relaxation and clean design, don’t clutter it up with things that are unnecessary.
We recommend the Athens Hacienda Black One Drawer Wall Hung Unit with Counter Top Basin. This wall hung basin is perfect for modern bathroom settings. It has a natural wood finish and offers plenty of storage for all of your essential items. It is wall hung making it a good choice for those who want to open up their floor space.
Instead of being something purely functional, a bathtub can become a centrepiece that your design revolves around. A bath tub can be strategically placed so that you can extenuate the size and look of the room. Traditionally bathtubs have a familiar oval or rectangular shape, however, if you want to have a bath in a smaller room, we recommend something like the Orlando Corner Bath that boasts a stunning offset design.
Modern baths are designed not only to look good but to provide you with the most relaxing bathing area. Which is why they should be spacious and perfect for soaking. View the Viktor Benson D Shape Back to Wall Bath which offers all of the above and is made from high quality acrylic meaning that it is also easy to maintain.
To many, choosing a toilet isn’t a thrilling task. However, selecting the wrong one can have a big impact on your bathroom design. We recommend the Rio Wall Hung Toilet Seat that is equipped with a soft close seat. As this toilet is wall hung toilets it is ideal for enhancing a sense of space. The cistern is concealed in the wall behind which maximises floor space and makes cleaning easier too. We also recommend the Rio Modern Back to Wall Deal which consists of a stylish back to wall toilet teamed with a hidden cistern perfect for a concealed look.
Bathroom tiling is not an area of design that should be overlooked. The tiles you choose can have a very big impact on your bathroom, so choose wisely. The latest tile trend is to emulate natural materials such as wood or stone like the Alberto Grigio Wood Effect Floor Tile which has been made to resemble real wooden planks. The Orla Grafito Floor Tile in a beautiful shade of grey is also a great option if you would like to capture the natural look.
A shower or a wet room is a great way to modernise a bathroom. If designed well, both options to can increase the value of your property. A shower or a wet room can be installed in smaller bathrooms too. In some cases, a wet room can have a glass panel that separates the shower from the rest of the room and a shower can be tucked into a corner of a bathroom to save space. Browse our affordable showers and wet rooms here.

Although the most popular colours for a modern bathroom are neutrals, that doesn’t mean you can’t add bold colours into your design. The simplest way to incorporate these splashes of colour is through your towel and carpets. You could also add a colour by creating an accent wall. Don’t be afraid to add colour, especially when creating a contemporary look.
