Hello World! Welcome Friends! Indoor bathrooms have been around since approximately the third century, but it wasn’t until recent times that people recognized this room could be more than functional. If you are in the process of creating the bathroom of your dreams, you may be looking for inspiration. Fortunately, remodeling a bathroom in the home is a good investment, as this is one room people carefully look at when buying a home. What are some elements you should consider adding or expanding when redoing a bathroom?
Tubs
Due to its size, the tub is often the focal point of a bathroom. It takes up more space than any other element and draws the eye when a person walks in. Head into the bathroom and the shower curtain is likely the first thing a person notices. They want to know what is hidden behind it and will ask to move it aside. Keep this in mind and consider hiding a gorgeous tub in this space. Once a visitor pulls the curtain back, they are sure to be impressed. Consider Clawfoot bathtubs to grab a viewer’s attention, for example.
Fixtures
Why settle for boring fixtures when there are so many choices on the market today? Is the bathroom done in white? Add contrast to the room by installing black fixtures instead of those with a gold, silver, or bronze finish. Choose fancy knobs to replace those found on many vanities today, and invest in fancy wall hooks that hold towels or other items. Doing so can change the look of the room without significantly increasing the total cost of the project.
Mirrors
Everyone wants to look their best when they leave home. Make it easy to do so by adding more mirrors to the bathroom. Not only does this ensure a person can view their appearance from every angle, but mirrors help to make the room look larger. Consider adding at least one tall mirror, as doing so helps to draw the eye upward. This likewise makes the room look larger than it is.
Wall Space
Don’t overlook the walls when redoing a bathroom. Although a bathroom is designed with function in mind, that doesn’t mean it has to be plain. Choose wall art that complements other elements in the room, and change the art regularly. It’s never been easier to give a room a whole new look, as a great deal of art doesn’t need to be purchased to make the area seem new and fresh.
Storage
Storage tends to be lacking in many bathrooms today. Consider ways to add storage space in this room and see how it transforms the area. Remove the plastic bottles from the counter by putting in a shelving unit over the toilet. Add a shelf above the door to hide extra toilet paper, or build a cabinet into the wall between the studs to hold medications. The ideas are truly endless when one thinks outside the box, so don’t hesitate to be creative when it comes to remodeling this area.
The bathroom may not be the biggest room in the house, but it does receive a great deal of use. Make sure people enjoy visiting this room by remodeling it to better meet your needs. The cost of doing so is less than many people imagine, and the results are incredible. Begin by making small changes today. Once you see the difference even minor changes make you’ll want to go all-in, redo the entire room, and have fun while doing so.

I’m in love with clawfoot tubs. We have a teeny tiny bathroom with no room for expansion that I dream of the day we can buy a house with a large bathroom that will fit one. Until that magical day, I dream and gain inspiration from all the gorgeous pics to save on Pinterest.

Beautiful bathroom! A lot of times in bathroom remodels, space is the limiting factor. I’d like to put in a bigger tub, but no space for it.
