What to Accomplish During Your Next Bathroom Remodel

Keeping your bathroom as clean and updated as you can is one of the best things you can do for yourself. A bathroom is a refuge, after all. It is a place where you can take care of yourself. Here are some small but simple things you can change in your next bathroom remodel.

Brighten the Space

Bathrooms should be generally bright and well-lit. The alternative is a dingy, dim bathroom that feels more like a dungeon rather than anything else. Natural light, if at all possible, is a must. If you don’t already have one, see if you can install a window or skylight. Make sure the window glass has the appropriate bubbling for privacy reasons. You can also look into replacing your bathroom light fixtures with modern bulbs that are bright but not harsh. Using light colors, like pastels, beiges, or whites can also brighten the ambiance. White tile or paint is less forgiving when it comes to hiding dirt or stains, but that is what you should want in a bathroom. The white tub and toilet will make sure that you’re keeping it squeaky clean!

Make it Look New

Modernization should absolutely be your secondary goal when remaking your bathroom. Too many homes have bathrooms that aesthetically belong to an earlier era. Coral and teal tile and shag carpet are frankly frightening nowadays. While of course the aesthetic decision is your choice, consider what option would be the best space for the cultivation of safety, comfort, and cleanliness. Minimalism is a style that has become more and more popular – and for good reason. Don’t be afraid to get new fixtures and appliances, either. You can make your bathroom look brand new by adding a new tub or vanity.

Practicality

Of course, style should always be balanced with function. What has historically been the biggest problem with your bathroom in the past? Was it the overall size? Was it a bad drain? A chipped sink? A squeaky toilet paper holder? Did it get clogged easily? Now is the time for you to go about remedying your greatest annoyances. Look into environmentally friendly options, especially those involving water and electricity usage. Consider trying new things entirely – like a bidet! You never know when a new addition will turn into your new favorite bathroom hack.

Bathroom remodels are an opportunity for you to cultivate your perfect private space. Look around online. Find aesthetic inspiration from other peoples’ projects. If you work hard to make it a comfortable, clean, easy to use, bright space, there’s no doubt you’ll be satisfied with the product.
