You Need A Bathroom Remodel
Welcome back to Bravo Blogs! Today, we wanted to talk to you about bathroom remodeling. For a good reason: bathroom remodeling is one of the most popular home renovation projects. A bathroom can change the look and feel of your space. Whatever you’re looking for, a bathroom remodel can achieve all of that and more. As a trusted contracting company, we’re here to guide you through the process with expert tips and insights to ensure your bathroom remodel is successful. Let’s get started!
1. (Start with a Plan)
The key to a successful bathroom remodel is thorough planning. Before you start tearing out tiles or choosing fixtures, take some time to plan the layout, design, and budget for your new bathroom. Consider the following:
● Assess Your Needs: What do you want to achieve with your remodel? More storage? Better lighting? A luxurious soaking tub? Make a list of your must-haves.
● Set a Budget: Determine how much you will spend on your remodel. Be sure to factor in costs for materials, labor, and any unexpected expenses.
● Choose a Layout: If you’re working with a small space, consider how you can maximize it. Can you rearrange the layout to improve functionality? Would a walk-in shower work better than a tub?
2. (Select the Right Materials)
Choosing suitable materials is crucial for your bathroom’s look and durability. Here are some key areas to focus on:
● Flooring: Opt for water-resistant materials like porcelain or ceramic tiles. If you’re looking for something more luxurious, consider heated floors.
● Countertops: Granite and quartz are popular for bathroom countertops due to their durability and low maintenance. If you’re on a budget, laminate can offer a similar look at a lower cost.
● Fixtures and Finishes: The right fixtures can significantly impact your bathroom’s aesthetic. Consider the style and finish of faucets, showerheads, and cabinet hardware. Chrome, brushed nickel, and matte black are all trendy choices.
3. (Maximize Storage and Space)
Storage is often a challenge in bathrooms, especially in smaller ones. To make the most of your space:
● Vanity with Storage: Choose a vanity that offers ample storage. Drawers and cabinets can help keep your countertops clutter-free.
● Shelving: Add open shelves for towels and decorative items. Floating shelves can create additional storage without taking up floor space.
● Built-In Niches: Consider adding built-in niches in the shower for toiletries. They’re a stylish and functional way to keep your shower organized.
4. (Upgrade Lighting)
Good lighting is essential in a bathroom. It not only improves visibility but also enhances the overall ambiance. Here’s how to get it right:
● Layered Lighting: Combine ambient, task, and accent lighting for a well-lit bathroom. Recessed ceiling lights provide general illumination, while vanity lights around the mirror are ideal for grooming tasks.
● Natural Light: Maximize natural light with more oversized windows or a skylight if possible. It can make a small bathroom feel more spacious and inviting.
● Dimmers: Install dimmers to control the lighting and create a relaxing atmosphere, especially around the bathtub or shower area.
5. (Add Personal Touches)
Your bathroom should reflect your style and personality. Consider adding personal touches to make the space uniquely yours:
● Accent Tiles: Use accent tiles to add a pop of color or a unique pattern to your shower or backsplash.
● Artwork: Add framed artwork or decorative mirrors to the walls for a personal touch.
● Plants: Incorporate plants that thrive in humid environments, like ferns or orchids, to bring a touch of nature into your bathroom.
6. (Hire a Professional Contractor)
While DIY projects can be tempting, bathroom remodeling often involves complex tasks like plumbing, electrical work, and tiling. Hiring a professional contractor ensures the job is done correctly, safely, and in code. A contractor can also help you navigate the many decisions you’ll need to make, from choosing materials to managing the timeline and budget.
