Things to consider when remodeling your bathroom:

• Alter the layout.

This level can be a little more complicated than a makeover or even a fixture replacement due to it including moving fixtures, like the tub/shower, the toilet, or the sink. Layout changes generally include wiring alterations and complete fixture replacements.

• Material Replacements.

  Choosing things such as premium flooring, counter tops, and sinks can truly upscale the space. The bathroom counter and its cabinets, as well as the installed sink, are at the center of bathroom activity. As such, it pays to invest a bit more in this area. Going for something such as natural stone or luxury vinyl will work well for an area that is often wet while also being aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

• Think about your necessities in everyday life.

  Since grooming is a daily part of your life at the vanity, it’s beneficial to have plenty of counter space to put things down. Although the his-and-her double sink configuration has been favored in the past, it is more practical to have a single sink and more counter space. As for lighting, the goal is to transmit separate layers of illumination into the room. A ceiling fixture is fine for general lighting, but can cast shadows on the surface of your skin when you’re seated at the vanity. That’s why you’ll want to think about sconces or other vertical fixtures mounted on or side of the vanity. Many medicine cabinets come with vertical lighting strips to prevent that issue.

• Design with space in mind.

  No one likes a cluttered bathroom, but there are many ways to build an organized area. Creating more shower space or simply expanding storage can help you achieve this goal. The shower easily turns into a mess with shampoo bottles and other items strewn about. They wind up clogging the corners and taking more space than needed. There are some things you can do to help make it seem larger than it actually is. Installing glass shower walls forms an illusion of more space and lets more light in. A vanity provides for plenty of storage for anything you might need and can be customized with built in drawer organizers and roll out shelves.

• Styling tips.

  Colors can play a huge role in the ambiance of the room. If you want to make the most of the room, the use of lighter colors will really open up the room while using darker colors will cause it to appear smaller. The type of light in the room will also affect how the colors you choose will look whether it be natural or artificial. Adding a touch of greenery such as a plant will be a helping hand with making the room more lively. While you do want things to compliment one another, be sure not to go overboard with everything matching in one color. This will make a huge difference in how your room feels.

• Finishing luxury touches.

  It is up to you to make your bathroom feel like your personal spa and make additions to customize it to what you like. No one likes stepping on cold tile floors on a winter morning, and with heated flooring you can steer clear of that problem. If you are one who enjoys a nice hot bath, install lights that dim down and add on a tray to hold drinks or a nice book while you relax. Every detail will make your new bathroom feel classy, comfortable, and everything you wish for in a bathroom!
