Do you have a dream bathroom? What does it look like? Remodeling your bathroom is one of the most impactful ways to enhance the comfort, look, and value of your home. Whether you’re going for a modern upgrade or a total transformation, careful planning can turn this essential space into a personal sanctuary. JBS Custom Remodeling outline some important considerations below.
Upgrade Plumbing Fixtures
Replacing outdated plumbing fixtures is both practical and visually transformative. Modern faucets, showerheads, and toilets are not only more stylish but also more water-efficient. Consider installing a rain showerhead, a handheld sprayer, or even a body jet system for added comfort. Low-flow toilets and faucets can reduce water usage and cut utility costs.
Improve Lighting
Lighting plays a critical role in both functionality and atmosphere. Incorporate layered lighting by combining task lighting such as vanity lights, recessed ceiling lights, and accent lighting (LED strips or under-cabinet lights). A well-lit bathroom came make the bathroom feel more spacious and inviting.
Maximize Storage Space
One common complaint about bathrooms is lack of storage. Smart storage solutions can make a huge difference. Install recessed medicine cabinets, floating shelves, or built-in niches in the shower. Try to get vanities with drawers and cabinetry that maximize space without crowding the room. Over-the-toilet cabinets and corner shelving can also offer added convenience.
Choose Durable & Moisture-Resistant Materials
Bathrooms are exposed to a lot of moisture, so choose materials that can withstand humidity and frequent use. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are popular choices for flooring and walls. Quartz and granite are great for countertops because they resist staining and are easy to maintain. Vinyl and waterproof laminate are also excellent for floors if you’re needing something more affordable and durability.
Ventilation is Key
Good ventilation is essential to prevent mold and moisture damage. If your bathroom doesn’t already have an exhaust fan, install one that is the right sized for the space. Even if you have a window, a fan can be more effective controlling the humidity levels. Make sure it’s vented to the outside, not just into the attic.
Consider Layout Changes
If space and budget allow, changing the layout can dramatically improve usability. Moving a toilet, sink, or shower might increase functionality or create more room, but it can also increase costs due to plumbing changes. Work with a contractor or designer to decide if the benefits outweigh the expenses.
Update the Look
It’s always nice to updated look to your bathroom. Choose a color scheme that complements the rest of your home or creates a peaceful place to be. Neutral tones, like whites, grays, and beiges, are timeless, while bold colors or patterned tiles can add personality. Don’t forget hardware like towel bars, cabinet pulls, and mirror frames, these small details pull the whole design together.
Add Modern Conveniences
Technology can elevate your bathroom experience. Consider heated floors, smart mirrors with built-in lighting, touchless faucets, or a Bluetooth sound system. Even installing USB outlets near the vanity can make your space more functional and plus giving it a more up to date feel.
