BATHROOM REMODELING ESSENTIALS

You dream about a bathroom that’s high on comfort and personal style, but you also want materials, fixtures, and amenities with lasting value. Why choose when you can have both? Nonetheless, there are some essential considerations when remodeling your bathroom. Here are some of them.

Budget. The best place to start with any bathroom remodeling project is the budget. Not only will it have a big impact on the type of materials you select for your bathroom renovation, it will also help you set the boundaries of your design. Knowing what you can really afford to spend will make it a lot easier to decide what items you want to replace and where you need to get creative!

Bathroom accessories. Bathroom cabinets are essential in bathroom remodeling. You can be creative with fixtures. There are as many styles of bathroom cabinets to fill with your bathroom remodeling plan as there are colors to paint it. The first is the stand-alone vanity (containing the sink and usually a countertop). The second group consists of all other bathroom cabinetry, which may include over-the-toilet units, linen storage and built-in hampers. Last are the sets of bathroom cabinets, called suites, which are designed by cabinet makers to match your fixtures and other design features.

Color and paints. In choosing bathroom cabinets, it is best to see a strong contrast in a bathroom.  In other words, having a dark or light color on the wall and then doing the opposite of the wall on the bathroom cabinets (lighter or darker). This contrast is a great way to compensate the eye for the bad dark lighting in the space. Another trick to ensure that your bathroom cabinet colors are the exact same undertone as your wall color is to use the same paint card. For instance, you can use either the lightest or second lightest color on the card for the walls and use the darkest or second darkest color on the same card for the bathroom cabinets.

Bathroom lighting. Don’t underestimate the importance of lighting in a bathroom. Lighting at the vanity is the ideal way to get even lighting on your face, and installing it at eye level will help diminish unflattering shadows. Dim lighting is nice for a relaxing bath; bright lights are great for shaving or applying makeup. Adding more overall lighting can make a small bathroom seem larger.

Whatever plans you have for your bathroom remodeling, make sure that you are comfortable with what you choose and asking for professional assistance is never too bad.
