Hello World! Welcome Friends! Out of all the places in your home that show their age after years of use, the bathroom is at the top of the list for needing remodeling. You use your bathroom every day, and there’s always a way to make it more practical.
Especially if you bought an older house with lots of character, you don’t want one of those character traits to be an outdated and cramped bathroom.
Keep your character accents in the living room, and make space for a modern bathroom remodel.
What your remodeling project looks like is up to you. You can still create a unique and attractive bathroom while maintaining function and longevity.
If you’re searching for inspiration for your remodel project, keep reading for a few ideas to get you started.
Textured Tile
While you’re mostly remodeling your bathroom for functionality, adding a few personal accents is a great way to tie in your aesthetic in the space.
Selecting a textured or colored tile can add a pop to your bathroom floor. Or, you can contain the funky tile inside the shower space and go for a more neutral tile for the rest of the bathroom.
It truly is the dealer’s choice, and the options are virtually endless.
Shower Window
Unless you live in the middle of the forest or in an empty desert, you likely don’t want a huge window looking into your bathroom.
But, when placed strategically, a small window can add some quality natural light to your bathroom. Especially for those with small bathroom model ideas, you can make any space feel less cramped with windows.
Improve the Lighting
If adding windows isn’t accessible or a part of your list of bathroom remodel ideas, you still don’t have to be stuck in a dark and gloomy bathroom.
Another way to make your bathroom feel open and bright is to focus on effective lighting solutions. Even the color of your lightbulbs can change how a space feels.
Make sure you have a light specifically for the shower. It not only makes it easier to use, but it’s also safer when you have ample light while showering.
You may also want to consider a dimmer on the main light in your bathroom. This way, you can customize the mood for every situation.
You can have a calm, low-lit bath, or you can have a brighter space for doing your hair and brushing your teeth in the mornings.
Another way to add some extra light is to include recessed lighting around the mirror and sink area. This helps illuminate your face and the immediate surroundings.
It’ll make it easier to see your face while doing your makeup, applying a facemask, or even just checking yourself out (come on, everyone does it now and then).
Hidden Toilet Tank
Another space-saving tactic for small bathrooms is to restructure the toilet tank to be mounted inside the wall. You can also opt for a low-flow model with hidden-tank toilets which helps reduce your water use when flushing.
While the tank can be a bit more complicated to access if maintenance is needed, hidden-tanks are one of the best bathroom-remodel features to consider for your home.
Many bathrooms have small space, so using compact fixtures is essential for more room to navigate. Aside from hidden tanks, a self-contained toilet with built-in macerating system is an ideal solution for bathrooms with limited space. You can check out reviews on these types of toilets to know whether one is the right unit for your bathroom.
Recessed Medicine Cabinet
Another accent worth a little extra planning for the bathroom is a recessed medicine cabinet. Setting the cabinet into the wall, instead of jutting out from it, can save space and create a more sleek appearance.
The increased cost is a fairly minimal addition in a full bathroom remodel, and it’s totally worth being able to lean over your sink without hitting your head on the cabinet.
Plus, it leaves more room and flexibility to dream up a beautiful vanity space. No modern bathroom is complete without a brushed gold faucet, after all.
Heated Floor
If you’re remodeling your bathroom, take a moment to seriously consider the benefits of a heated floor. It might seem extravagant beforehand, but it will be worth it.
When you step out of the shower, or when you walk in barefooted on a cold winter’s night, wouldn’t it be comforting to feel a toasty floor rather than an icy one?
Still, investing in heated floors may not be in your plans or your budget. You can always add a heated towel rack instead to warm up or dry your towels.
Tub Decision
Just because you’re remodeling your bathroom doesn’t mean you’re obligated to include a tub in the project. Tubs can take up a lot of space.
If you don’t take baths or you have a tiny bathroom, a tub may not be in the cards, and that’s okay. Think of all the bathroom dancing you could do without kicking the tub every other second. That is the true dream.
Or, your weekly bath night with candles and a good book might be your favorite form of self-care. You deserve that time, and you also deserve a great bathtub to go along with it.
Whether you’re a bath or no-bath person, the way you choose to capitalize on your bathroom real estate is entirely up to you. For those who are strictly pro-shower, take a look at your shower cubicle and consider upgrading shower panels at easy panels during your remodel.
Modern Bathroom Remodel
These are just a few options to consider for your modern bathroom remodel. There are countless other options that can make your bathroom the perfect oasis for self-care.
Make sure you put thought and effort into your remodel so you can enjoy it every day for years to come.
