Style on a Shoestring - Bathrooms on a Budget!

In the current economic climate there are many reasons for people looking for Style on a Shoestring.

Some may have limited funds, some may be updating a rental property, intending not to stay very long in a home, or prefer to spend money wisely over a longer period.

For those with limited funds there are always options. Decide what it is important to spend the money on, we never recommend style at the expense of substance. If you are putting a shower in, spend the most you can afford on that item. Think of the look you are hoping to achieve, is it feasible to do this on a shoestring, or do you need to adapt your aspirations? You can always use accessories to add the wow factor. It's amazing what a few well placed objects can add to a room, and everyone needs toilet roll holders, soap dishes or dispensers and lighting.

So find your inspirations, and come to us to offer you creative solutions for your bathroom.

For those updating a rental property, going with the cheapest option can often be a false economy as you may find extra wear and tear on these products. Have an idea of what your budget is and Soak can make suggestions so you get the biggest bang for your buck!

For those staying only a short time in a home a few established top names can enhance the value of your property.
