Are you doing the work or hiring? 5k does not go far in a bathroom remodel I don’t love the tile but I need a lot more info as to what your style is . Do you mean the tub and shower have to gobecause I agree that tub needs to be rpeced and do you need a tub. The more info the better. Your idea books are nothing MCM so keeping the tiles IMO is not something to plan on. If you think keeping them will make life easier yes but to really update the space they need to go along with almost everything else so maybe wait to save some more money and do it right . In the meantime add some pics to a bathroom idea book so we can see what you like.

Understood. Planning on doing the work myself with a friend. Tub will be removed and just a walk in shower instead. I would say the style of home I am working towards is modern/traditional. Ok it looks like I will need a full demo and Reno the existing tile is just too ugly

Here are some of our bathroom designs we thought might inspire you.

Here's an affordable way to update your bathroom with a vintage vibe:

I think if you want to make this bathroom modern, you're going to have to gut it. sorry. but the tub and tile are very retro cool, and you said your style is modern/traditional. I think with the right accessories, you could make a retro bath work with that.

1. remove the tub glass and frame. there are hole patch kits for the tiles. install a shower curtain.

2. remove and/or replace the wall cabinet, mirror, switch plate and toilet shelf. maybe the towel bar too (but personally I like it).

3. get a handy friend to help you swap out faucets, light fixtures, etc. maybe even a new sink with a small cabinet.

4. finally, give the room a really deep scrubbing, repair any damage, paint, and renew the caulk. buy new towels, rugs, artwork, etc. I suggest a black and white theme to go with the black tile accents.

all of this would be very cost effective (maybe around 1k or so, depending on what brands you choose).

Use porcelain tiles on the floor. They are super affordable and hold up really well, in addition to coming in a bazillion different colors/designs. I'd recommend keeping the whole look very clean and neutral. Rip the wall tiles out and replace with dry wall - no need to tile the whole room, only where it's wet. Use inexpensive white subway tile on the shower walls and whatever mosaic you like for the floor - it need not be expensive, but ideally it's neutral. Hang a pretty mirror. New toilet & sink as budget allows. Good luck!

I would tear out and watch for sales, discontinued, etc and accumulate everything before starting, so you can take advantage of less expensive items.

- a wall mounted sink is a good choice for a small bathroom

- add as much storage as you can

- large mirror to make space feel larger

- keep it light

I agree with Altair. plus, you don't need to store everything in the bathroom. in my last apartment, only the "frequent use" items were put in the vanity cabinet, including only one backup roll of TP. everything else was stored in the utility room or linen closet. get creative with your storage. there are lots of little organizers that fit into medicine cabinets or mounted to the inside of the vanity doors. I take a lot of vitamins, so I used a pill sorter for the week, and kept the individual bottles in the utility room. I don't keep my sonicare on the charger all the time -- it will keep its charge a few weeks, so I put the charger away. things like that.
