Considering These Elements When Remodeling Your Bathroom

A newly renovated bathroom increases the value of your house, modernizes the design, and improves its suitability for your needs. During renovations, the best opportunity to incorporate upgrades that can benefit you and your family for many years. 

If you’re spending money on a bathroom renovation, think about implementing one or more of these crucial modifications to enhance the room’s usability, storage, and comfort.

The tips in the sections below will help you complete the job properly, whether you’re planning a minor bathroom makeover or a whole renovation.

Select the Appropriate Paint Finish

In the past, to keep persistent bathroom humidity out, you had to employ a glossy or satin paint wall finish. But today, several manufacturers are providing specialist paints in on-trend matte finishes that are designed with antimicrobial ingredients to guard against moisture and mildew. These paints may cost up to two times more than normal latex-acrylic. So choose glossy if you want to save money. Using an exhaust fan that is properly vented and ducted to the outside is the greatest approach to stop mold and mildew from growing. And don’t use the shower for at least 24 hours before and after painting to guarantee that no moisture affects the paint-curing process.

Choose Your Faucet

The sink faucet is the most prominent hardware in many bathrooms, so start by choosing it, and then match the shower set, toilet flush lever, towel bars, and other hardware to the faucet’s design and finish material. 

Ergonomic lever faucets are the easiest to operate for individuals of all ages, and you can get them in modern and vintage styles.

Consider Your Needs for Counter Space and Storage

Your choice of sink and vanity go hand in hand to determine how much storage and counter space your bathroom provides. A pedestal sink has a thin and conventional form that’s excellent for small bathrooms, but it has no vanity for storage and extremely little counter surface. 

There is plenty of room within for drawers and storage space, but there is limited usable counter space on top of a vessel sink because it rests on top of the vanity, which is frequently made from recycled antique furniture.

Prioritize Your Toilet

You’re in for a surprise if you haven’t looked for a toilet recently. Some high-tech features include heated and LED-lit seats, built-in bidet capability, water-saving, and self-cleaning functions. 

But your top priority should be flushing perfectly. Choose toilets with a maximum performance testing score of 500 or higher. This category includes several WaterSense-rated toilets and high-efficiency models that consume as little as half of the 1.6 gallon-per-flush legal limit.

Choose Non-Slick Surfaces

Some tiles offer a major slipping hazard when they get wet. To guarantee your bathroom floor doesn’t turn dangerously slick for individuals getting out of the tub or shower, use tiles with textured surfaces, matte finishes, or sand-containing glazes. 

Another option is using tiny tiles with lots of grout lines that can offer grip to the floor.

Conclusion

Sometimes you need a lot of room or a zen-like refuge, and nothing short of a complete, ground-up rebuild would do. 

However, bear in mind that the worth of a particular room as a proportion of the value of your entire house will determine how much you should be willing to spend on any substantial restoration.
