Great ideas for bathroom remodeling





So you’ve decided it’s time to redo your bathroom – great! But where should you start and what should you prioritize? Here are some tips to keep in mind to ensure a top quality remodeling job.

Storage space

Allowing proper storage space in your newly renovated bathroom is important. Don’t forget to include a place for towels and toiletries in your designs, as well as a medicine cabinet for first aid!

Lighting and ventilation

Shadowy spots in a bathroom are the last thing you want. If not already installed, make sure there is both overhead lighting and makeup lighting around the medicine cabinet and mirror areas. Proper ventilation and fans, along with proper lighting, help reduce mold and mildew growth.

Select Space

Many bathrooms can feel small and cramped. Sometimes you have to work with the available space. If you have a small space, focus on space-saving designs that make the room feel light and airy. Consider allowing enough counter space for two people, even if you have to sacrifice “his and hers” sinks. More people find counter space preferable to a double sink in shared bathrooms. In larger bathrooms, consider putting up a privacy wall to hide the toilet area.

Choose the right material

Classic materials and colors are better in the long run than passing fads that will look dated in just a few years. Porcelain, granite and quartz are still popular choices for tiles, countertops or sinks. Whites, pastels and lighter earth tones remain the favorite colors. And while it has become popular to shop for products online, it is always recommended to pick them up or buy them in person, so you can ensure that the color and size are exactly what you wanted.

Spoil yourself a little

Choose at least one item that you have always dreamed of having for your bathroom and add it to the list. There’s no better time to do it than when you’re already remodeling. And remember – going the extra mile will increase the value of your home!

Choose the right professional for the job

Cutting corners on materials or work will result in an unprofessional appearance that may disappoint you in the long run. Although do-it-yourself projects have become increasingly popular, a professional can find and advise on hidden problems such as leaks or water damage that may be discovered during the course of the remodeling project.

Upgrade for water efficiency

Modern standards are becoming increasingly water efficient. Ask your plumber about what water-saving devices and fixtures you can install during your remodel. Upgrading can help save money on water bills in the future and contribute to water conservation efforts.
