Knowing when to hire a contractor to remodel your bathroom is often a mystery until we discover we hate going into the space. Our bathrooms should be where we go have a relaxing soak in the tub after a long day, somewhere to enjoy preparing for the day with our morning routines, and a functional, safe, room with ideal lighting. Waiting until we hate going into the space isn’t a good idea. We should pay close attention to these reasons for a bathroom remodel:
- Not enough space to keep our belongings tidy
- Odd, difficult to navigate layouts
- The lighting is too bright or too dim
- Everything about the room looks too old for our tastes
Bathroom Remodeling Ideas for More Space
When it comes to bathroom remodeling ideas, creating storage space is the top reason for a remodel. Most of us have various things stored in our bathrooms, like cleaning supplies, towels and linens, makeup, personal care items, and hair appliances. If we don’t have the right storage space for all the stuff, we are going to find ourselves sifting through tons of products to find what we need on a daily basis. Not to mention, just seeing all of our bathroom accessories out on the countertops makes the room appear smaller. Consider opting for custom storage options to streamline your space.
Update the Layout
Older homes tend to have small bathrooms that are not very easy to navigate. It can be hard to get into the shower if the toilet is in an odd position, and dated showers can be downright claustrophobic. Growing families won’t be able to handle a too small or oddly shaped bathroom. Stop crowding yourself and start looking at bathroom remodeling ideas. It will help a contractor to see what you like and discuss what works with the layout of your home. Imagine a new shower design that can hold your soaps and such without compromising space.
You Need to See the Light
Pay attention to the lighting in your bathroom. Some bathrooms are too bright which makes it hard to apply makeup. Or the lighting can be overwhelming to your senses and go against the calm atmosphere you desire. Dim lighting can be an annoyance and also a safety hazard. More falls tend to happen in dark or dimly lit spaces. Accessible bathroom remodeling ideas often include changing up light fixtures and the types of lighting you have. There are tons of ways to add lighting and get the right level of brightness. Don’t forget to consider adding or accentuating some windows for natural light.
Personalized and Up to Date Style
If the rest of the home reflects your style and the bathroom doesn’t, it’s time for a remodel. Homeowners tend to overlook the bathroom when doing home remodeling. Look around and notice what your bathroom is like. Did the toilet and sink come from the 1970’s in pink or avocado? Are bathroom fixtures rusted? Cabinet doors that don’t quite close all the way or drawers that have gaps are a sign you need to remodel.
