Affordable Basement Bathroom Ideas – Design on a Budget

Basement Bathroom Designs

When we moved into our home I wanted to start renovations in the main areas right away. The first big project was the kitchen.

Vanity – custom vs. retail

Custom vanities can be expensive. If you have a large budget, choosing the cabinetry and top separately will ensure you get exactly what you want. To save, I went with a prefabricated vanity from Hope Depot.

Fixtures – mix and match

The antique brass sconces on either side of the mirror have a vintage vibe that complements the modern elements in my basement bathroom design. I love how they tie in with the brass pulls on the vanity.

Shower – tips for small spaces

When designing a small basement bathroom, try to choose things that will help give the illusion of a larger space. In order to create a bright and spacious feel, I chose a single frameless glass panel for the shower.

Floors – can you guess what I chose?

If you didn’t know that I love to use marble wherever I can, do you even know me at all? Hi, I’m Stefana and I love marble!

Challenges in a basement bathroom design

Adding a bathroom to an unfinished basement requires particular consideration because you are working below grade, meaning below ground level. If you are lucky enough to have a rough-in for the necessary plumbing in the desired location, then this won’t be an issue.
