There’s no better place for washing away your troubles and indulging in some quality ‘me time’, than in the bathroom, but if yours isn’t the kind of room you want to spend much time in, you might need to renovate or remodel it.
Fortunately, with so many more homeowners choosing to upgrade their bathrooms nowadays, there’s a great selection of materials, products, fixtures and fittings to create a truly luxurious bathroom, on a budget. What’s even better, is that sometimes you only need upgrade one or two things inside your bathroom to truly transform it, and here are 6 upgradeable fixtures for you to think about when upgrading your bathroom:
- A new vanity and sink
Available in all shapes and sizes, you’re sure to find a vanity and sink to suit your bathroom when shopping around, but be sure to take measurements before buying to avoid disappointment when it doesn’t fit.
For smaller bathrooms, a vanity with plenty of storage can help keep clutter to a minimum and make cleaning simpler. For luxurious finishes, choose a vanity with soft lighting and clean lines.
When it comes to sinks, there are so many styles to choose from, and your final decision may be based upon who is most likely to be using the sink. Kids will need to be able to use it safely, while adults may prefer a washbowl style sink that’s more aesthetically pleasing, while still being practical.
2. A new toilet
From sleek and ultra-modern, to floating; as with sinks and vanities, there are literally hundreds of styles of toilets to choose from, and finding the right one to suit your needs and taste, should be simple.
3. A new bathtub or shower
A slightly larger investment, a new bathtub or shower can have an amazing impact in a bathroom, and change your entire experience within the space. That said, it’s important to invest in one or the other (or both if your bathroom’s big enough) wisely, and to select one that fits comfortably in the intended space. Bath and shower showrooms are great places to explore your options and ask any questions that you might have, of the sales team.
4. A new bathroom mirror
From big mirrors that help create the illusion of space, to smaller ones that do the job without taking up too much room on the wall, mirrors can be bought brand new, or even from a thrift or antiques store, depending on your taste and the style of your bathroom.
5. New flooring or wall tiles
Flooring and wall tiles are actually a lot more important than many homeowners give them credit for, and they deserve to be so much more than just an afterthought. Tiles are a popular choice for bathrooms, not just because they look great and come in so many styles and shapes, but because they’re practical, too. However, there are many other modern choices to consider when upgrading your bathroom floor or walls, so be sure to explore all your options.
6. New bathroom lighting
A crucial aspect of any successful bathroom design, choose from recessed lighting fixtures, spotlights and a wide range of other options to illuminate your beautiful bathroom and show off all your incredible upgrades!
Never underestimate the impact the above fixtures can have on a bathroom, and when you’re upgrading yours, think carefully about not just what will look best, but what will be most comfortable and suit your needs, too. Above all, never compromise on quality, and always choose fixtures that are designed to last and look elegant for many years to come.
