Bathroom Improvements
Remodelling your bathroom is a superb investment. It adds value, and immediately makes your home more usable and enjoyable...
Thinking about updating a bathroom? Small projects, or even larger ones, can offer a big impact.
Here are a few ideas you might want to consider.
1. Improve the Lighting
Sometimes changing out a fixture or installing a different type of lighting can make all the difference. You can even upgrade to smart bulbs for extra value and convenience.
2. Add Some Storage
Who doesn’t need more storage? Whether it’s adding an extra medicine cabinet above the toilet or shelves to the closet, every bathroom can be enhanced with a little extra storage space.
3. Update Countertops and Fixtures
Changing out the hardware can make a big difference. That might mean swapping countertop materials, changing out drawer pulls, or installing new doorknobs and faucets.
4. Add a Pop of Colour
You don’t need to paint the whole room, but a pop of colour in an alcove, or built-in shelving unit, can quickly improve the space. You could even do a patterned wallpaper, if it fits with your aesthetic.
5. Upgrade the Shower or Tub
Could you add seating or built-in storage to your shower? Jacuzzi jets to your tub? A floor-level door for accessibility? It’s the details that matter.
6. Low-flow Toilets
Even a new toilet can change the appearance and feel of a bathroom. And, perhaps save you water in the long run.
One more thing - If you do opt to fully renovate your bathroom, don’t skimp on the planning. Have a budget in place, carefully vet your contractors, and avoid DIYing anything you’re not entirely confident about.
