DIY Your Bathroom: How To Update Ikea Bathroom Cabinets

Your bathroom is one of the most critical rooms within the home. To leave it with limited functionality isn't fair to you or your family. When designing a bathroom, you must consider the layout, space and cost. A bathroom remodel can cost from $6,000 to $16,000 on average. When you choose an Ikea bathroom, however, you can keep your remodeling project cost on the low end.


Why Should You Renovate Your Bathroom?

Is your bathroom limiting? The purpose of bathroom renovations is to take your bathroom and create a more livable and functional space. For example, bathrooms with minimal storage are difficult to keep organized. You may have to store bathroom items in other areas of your home, such as the pantry or garage. Having limited storage in your bathroom can be frustrating and alter the functionality of the space.

When you update the bathroom, you create not only a more functional space but a more aesthetically pleasing space, too. Your bathroom is one of the most-used rooms in the entire house. You use it, your family uses it and in many cases, your guests use it too. Your bathroom should have a cohesive design that looks good. In addition to adding value to your family, a bathroom renovation also adds value to your home in a similar way to a kitchen remodel.
