Bathroom Remodeling
July 14th, 2023 | by Brittany OverlyTips and inspiration for transforming your bathroom
Transforming your bathroom can be a great way to update and rejuvenate your space. Whether you’re looking to add a new shower, bathtub, vanity, or modern fixtures, here are some tips and inspiration to help you get started:
- Set a Budget:
Before you begin any renovations, establish a budget for your bathroom transformation. This will help you prioritize your spending and make informed decisions throughout the process. Our sales team can help you figure out a good budget for what you want to accomplish with your renovation.
- Plan the Layout:
Consider the existing layout of your bathroom and think about how you can optimize the space. Think about the placement of your shower, bathtub, vanity, and fixtures to ensure functionality and flow. If your current bathroom is low on extra space, consider a tub/shower combo. If you have extra space you want to utilize, maybe you can think about added storage with a linen tower. Pictured below, we opened up the bathroom and created better flow through the space by removing a wall.
- Choose a Style:
Determine the overall style you want to achieve in your bathroom. Whether it’s modern, traditional, minimalist, or eclectic, having a clear vision will guide your choices for shower, bathtub, vanity, and fixtures. If you are having trouble deciding what style you like best, think about matching the style of your home. Our designer can also help you nail down the initial themes and styles you want to have.
- Upgrade Your Shower:
If you’re looking to add a new shower, consider installing a walk-in shower with a frameless glass enclosure for a sleek and modern look. Incorporate features like rain showerheads, handheld sprayers, and built-in seating for added comfort and luxury. Upgrading from a shower insert to custom tiling can really bring new life to your bathroom, as well.
- Install a Stylish Bathtub:
If you have the space and budget, a freestanding bathtub can serve as a beautiful centerpiece in your bathroom. Options range from classic clawfoot tubs to modern, sculptural designs that can add a touch of elegance and relaxation to your space.
- Enhance Your Vanity:
The vanity is a focal point of any bathroom. Opt for a stylish and functional design that suits your style. Consider features like double sinks, ample storage, and integrated lighting for added convenience and aesthetics.
- Update Fixtures and Hardware:
Swapping out outdated fixtures and hardware can instantly modernize your bathroom. Choose sleek and contemporary faucets, showerheads, towel bars, and cabinet handles to create a cohesive and updated look.
- Consider Lighting:
Lighting plays a crucial role in bathroom design. Incorporate both natural and artificial lighting to create a well-lit and inviting space. Install task lighting around the vanity area and consider adding ambient lighting options, such as recessed lighting or wall sconces, to set the mood.
- Choose High-Quality Materials:
Invest in high-quality materials that are durable and long-lasting. Opt for water-resistant flooring options like porcelain or ceramic tiles, and consider using materials like quartz or marble for your vanity countertops for both style and functionality.
- Add Personal Touches:
Don’t forget to add personal touches to make your bathroom feel like a relaxing retreat. Incorporate plants, artwork, decorative mirrors, or unique accessories that reflect your personality and create a welcoming atmosphere. Small floating shelves are a great way to display any decorative items.
