Why renovate your bathroom?
Perhaps you’d like to bring your aged bathroom into the 21st century. Perhaps you’d like to improve the value of your home. Or perhaps you’re just tired of looking at the same old space.
Regardless of the reason, renovating your bathroom can be a rewarding experience. Here are a few of the many details you won’t want to overlook along the way.
1. Layout
First, decide if you like the layout of your bathroom. Is the shower in a good spot? Or perhaps you’d like to change it out for a tub? Would you like a new window to let in natural light?
Will you keep the bathroom the same size? Or do you want to enlarge it? Perhaps add a small privacy cubicle for the toilet? Does anyone in your family need mobility aids or may need them in the future? Extra space will be required for those if needed.
2. Design
Think about the aesthetic vibe you want for your bathroom. What colour palette do you prefer and what style best suits your vision for this renovated room?
If you’re having trouble picturing what you want or understanding the materials required to express the look, don’t hesitate to work with a bathroom designer. These experts have exactly what’s needed to help you create the bathroom of your dreams.
3. Elements
A toilet and sink are basically the only two non-negotiables when it comes to bathroom fixtures. So think about what else you want to have in the bathroom. Shower? Tub? Shower-tub?
Don’t forget that plumbing elements aren’t the only ones you can install. Perhaps you’d like heated floors, windows or skylights, powerpoints for hair and grooming appliances, task lighting, or perhaps even a laundry area.
4. Cabinets
Storage space is vital in any bathroom. Even if it’s just a couple of shelves on the wall, you need a place for soap, toilet paper, toothbrushes, and other bathroom accessories/toiletries.
For a nice bathroom, Adelaide bathroom renovators definitely recommend plenty of quality cabinets for storage space. Why go to all the work of sprucing up your bathroom just to leave your things on display?
Add enough cabinet space to neatly put everything away. Don’t forget that the cabinets must be at least water-resistant to last in a bathroom.
5. Tile
Tile is extremely popular for bathroom floors as well as walls. It is super easy to clean and comes in such a variety of styles that it will fit with any design.
6. Finishing Touches
The finishing touches might seem small, but they make or break the entire project. Choose the following elements carefully:
- Tapware
- Mirrors
- Showerhead
- Window treatments
- Accessibility hardware (grab bars, etc)
With all the finishing touches in place, you’ll finally be able to enjoy the bathroom you’ve always wanted.
