Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom with lower-sized budgets can limit your abilities to upgrade a room, especially when your client expects a full transformation. Changing the sink, faucet, countertops, flooring, cabinetry and more can really add up. We have some great tips to help you transform a room without overspending, keeping your client satisfied with the end result.  

Choose Laminate Countertops

New countertops are a great but costly way to completely change a room’s design, and they may take up a majority of your client’s budget. Laminate countertops are the answer. They are super durable, more impact resistant than stone, are very easy to clean and come in a wide variety of styles that mimic stone, wood and metal. Even though they are made of plastic and particleboard, they have proven to stay in their best shape for several years. It’s also the best way to achieve high style at half the cost. 

Most home improvement shops sell laminate countertops, so take the chance and explore this affordable option.

Add a New Sink

Laminate countertops are not everyone’s top choice when remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, especially because they don’t offer the ability to install sinks in a modern and clean undermount style. The good news is, recent product innovations have made it easier than ever to install undermount sinks into laminate countertops. SinkLink, made by MR Direct, is a key installation piece that perfectly conjoins the laminate countertop with the undermount sink, providing a flawless, flushed finish.

Design Tip: Undermount sinks offer a sleek and stylish design, giving your design a high-end appearance. 

What’s SinkLink made of?

Constructed from thick durable plastic, SinkLink is offered in white, gray and black to match any decor; it also comes in different sizes, making it compatible with 20 popular MR Direct stainless steel and porcelain undermount sinks, including ADA compliant models. The smooth texture allows for a perfect pairing to an array of laminate countertop styles.

How does it work?

SinkLink is perfectly shaped to conjoin the undermount sink and laminate countertop into a flushed and flawless finish with a very subtle appearance in the completed look. It also acts as a secure barrier and keeps any liquid from passing through. From DIY homeowners to professional builders, Sinklink was designed to be easily installed with the right tools and supplies. Check out the following video for the step-by-step directions and see how it works:

Update the Faucet

Another inexpensive way to transform a kitchen or bathroom design is by adding new faucets. From a trendy kitchen spring-spout faucet to a traditional bathroom faucet, this small change can make all the difference in a room. 

Design Tip: Change out the cabinetry or vanity’s hardware to match the new faucet’s finish. 

Ditch the Tile 

Choose a vinyl or linoleum flooring to save time and money. Plus, vinyl is super durable and reduces noise, while linoleum is antibacterial and temperature resistant, making either a great option to install.

With these tips and tricks, you’ll discover how inexpensive it could be to reimagine the kitchen or bathroom of your client’s dreams.
