If your intention is to remodel your bathroom into a pleasant new room, but you don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place. Here you’ll get to know the six most important things you need to pay attention to and take care of, in order to achieve a successful bathroom remodel.

Once you’ve gotten with the project, you need to start addressing more specific aspects.
Pick the right flooring
Have in mind that, while hardwood floors may give your bathroom great character, they’re not the most practical option you can choose. Instead, consider picking bathroom flooring that will facilitate the daily use and maintenance of this room, like ceramic and porcelain tile, luxury vinyl planks, and vinyl tiles.
Consider lighting
Lighting can often be overlooked, but you’ll instantly recognize bad bathroom lighting when you see it, and it can completely destroy the look and utility of the space. That’s why you should plan for natural and artificial lighting. As regards to natural light, try to incorporate plenty of windows and maybe a skylight into your design. Also, if it’s possible, try to place your mirror next to the windows, so that you’re able to see what you’ll look like when you step outside. Once the sun sets, recessed LEDs on a dimmer switch can provide great ambient light, but you’ll want soft lighting at head level at the vanity to avoid shadows on the face.
Here, you can see five more tips about bathroom lighting.
Address ventilation
All bathrooms need excellent ventilation to keep occupants in good health and prevent mold from growing. Mold can become very inconvenient once it settles because it can cause expensive damage to a perfectly new bathroom. There’s two main options regarding ventilation: window vents and exhaust fans. Exhaust fans are probably the most practical option, mostly during cold weather, but in this case, the best option is to let your contractor help you decide what is your best option for your bathroom’s conditions.
Adjust room size with color
It is common knowledge that dark colors tend to shrink rooms and make them feel smaller than they actually are. This is why you should always use light colors for your bathroom, not just the colors on the walls and ceiling, but also the colors of the installations, that is, the toilet, bathtub, and washbasin.
Make it your own
This is the part where you can explore possibilities to make this new environment more your own. From adding some plants to give the bathroom more vibrance and color, to adding a special bath courtain, or adding some freestanding pieces, such as a decorative cupboard or chair as a design element.
So now you know! These are six of the most important things to consider if you’re planning to remodel your bathroom. You will undoubtedly find your best option while having in mind your taste and budget. Request us a quote to renovate your home today! Simply encourage yourself to explore!
