Dear enthusiast,

Reading the semi-pornographic blurbs we often get sent about bathroom fixtures (and kitchen appliances), it's fairly clear why people tend to lose sight of the bigger picture when they're renovating. It's way too easy to lose yourself in beautiful bathroom pictures and develop an unhealthy fixation on design and material choices...

If you hold any hope at all of renovating to a strict budget, you absolutely need to keep at least a few toes on the ground, plan ahead and expect a bit of turbulence. To help, this week we've put together a great list of practical ways to keep renovation costs down.

If you've got any tips of your own, leave a comment on the bottom of the article. We'd love to hear them!
