Remodeling a bathroom can range from simple to complex. A bathroom is a space where form and functionality must meet and coexist in harmony. Your bathroom should be your oasis where you can go to relax and unwind at the end of a tiring day. When updating your bathroom, here are the 5 things to consider:
- Shower enclosure – If your goal is to make a small bathroom look bigger, you may want to consider a frameless glass shower enclosure. If your bathroom is a place for your younger children to take a bath and play, and where your older children need to shower after practice, you may benefit from adding a tub/shower combo. Are you looking to add some luxury to your master bathroom suite? You may want to consider adding a soaking tub and a large walk-in shower and steam room.
- Paint – Painting your bathroom a new color can bring a breath of fresh air into any space. Because it is a laborious process, you will want to think about your color choice with your end-product in mind. Is it important to you that your bathroom color ties into the rest of your home, or is your bathroom its own separate space? It is important to consider both the natural light and the size of your space. If you have a large space with ample natural light, a darker color or a dark-colored accent wall is a great option. If your space is small with little or no natural light, choosing a lighter color will help your space feel larger.
- Flooring – Bathroom flooring products are as customizable as your paint color. Whether you prefer the look of ceramic tile, cork, luxury vinyl plank, or concrete, you will want to choose a flooring option that lends itself to being in a wet and humid environment. Your bathroom will be wet daily, so make sure that whatever flooring choice you make, your choice is waterproof.
- Toilet – The bathroom’s precious commodity is the commode. When choosing a toilet, you will want to consider the appearance of your bathroom. One-piece toilets offer a more streamlined appearance and are considered to be easier to clean. Two-piece toilets offer a much larger variety of style options, are often lighter weight, and are come in different height options.
- Lighting and fixtures – To finish off your bathroom, you will need to decide on the finishes to bring everything together. Chrome fixtures can often be found in bathrooms as their color is very versatile and resistant to rust. Nickel is similar to chrome but can be brushed to bring a matte finish to your fixtures. Brass is a great way to bring warmth into your space. Adding a brass light fixture will provide a warm glow in your newly remodeled space. Bronze is often used when a more rustic look is what you are trying to achieve. Oil-rubbed bronze is frequently chosen because water spots and fingerprints are harder to see.
