Whether you’re wanting to completely revamp your bathroom, or add a few new touches to refresh and modernize the space, it’s easy to turn your bathroom into a room you want to linger in. With a few modern design ideas and the help of a professional remodeling company, you can get fantastic results in a short space of time, and even increase the value of your home when you come to sell it.
If your bathroom is looking tired and drab, or outdated and uninviting, you can consider the following 6 improvements that when done right, will give you a wonderful bathroom at a price you can afford:
- Add a new vanity and sink
When it comes to vanities, there are literally hundreds of different designs and styles to choose from, so you must carefully consider the space it will be in, and where it will be in relation to the other items in the bathroom before making your choice. For smaller bathrooms, for example, a vanity with plenty of storage will help to reduce clutter and give you more space to move freely without banging into shelves or knocking things over.
Sleek lines and contoured designs can prevent your sink from taking up too much space, or for larger bathrooms, why not have a double sink or a luxurious one that becomes a real feature, rather than just a necessity.
2. A new toilet
As with vanities and sinks, there are so many toilets to choose from that the options are mind boggling! The size and dimensions of your bathroom may determine what type of toilet you opt for, and whether you want it to blend in to the background, or be a statement piece.
3. Add a new tub or shower
Let’s face it, bathrooms for lingering in are all about the tub and/or the shower, and if possible, you shouldn’t cut too many corners when investing in a new tub or shower. Your chosen renovation company can show you a variety of designs, and help you to understand what size and style might best suit the space.
4. A new mirror
For many homeowners, mirrors are a major design feature, and not just something that’s put on the wall as an essential part of a room. While no bathroom is complete without one, you should choose one that makes a statement, and when positioned strategically, they can even help a space look much more spacious.
5. Change the flooring or tiles
Tiles are a fantastic addition to any bathroom, whether on the floor, walls or both, and with so many stunning designs and colors available, you really are spoilt for choice. Hygienic because they’re so easy to clean, you can opt for basic or high-end tiles according to your budget.
6. New lighting fixtures
Lighting can play a significant role in the success of a bathroom’s design, and as there may be times when you want a different level of lighting (such as brighter for shaving or applying makeup, and dimmer for when relaxing in the tub), it’s important to think carefully about your options and talk them over in detail with your renovation team. There are also many more energy saving options when it comes to lighting these days, and if you want an eco-friendly bathroom, this might be worth thinking about.
