A well-designed bathroom can be a personal sanctuary; somewhere to unwind and relax at the end of a busy day. Whether you’re completely remodeling your bathroom, or just planning a few upgrades, it’s possible to completely change the look and feel of your space.
A refresh can have a big impact
If, due to time and budget constraints, you’re not looking for a complete overhaul, but still want to transform your bathroom, repainting is one of the simplest ways to achieve this. Go for a completely different color scheme, or just a fresh lick of paint in your current color to brighten the room up.
Similarly, updating your countertops can have a real impact on the overall appearance of your room.
If you’re looking for something on a smaller scale, why not invest in new accessories like towels, matts and shower curtains
Experiment with tiles
If you’re searching for ideas for remodeling a bathroom, tiles are a surefire way to revolutionize your space. Getting creative with different zones, embracing bold patterns or colors, or even going for a striking monochrome effect can all breathe new life into your bathroom.
Replace your bathtub with a luxury shower
Modern life is busy, and if you find you rarely use your tub, but it takes up a lot of space in your bathroom, why not swap it out for a luxury shower that you get to enjoy on a more regular basis?
Get creative with lighting
The right lighting can really change the atmosphere of a room. If you’re blessed with lots of natural light, why not rearrange your space to make the most of this. You could even line up your bathtub to give an outdoor view.
When it comes to artificial lighting, a modern LED ceiling lamp is a popular way to brighten your space, while spotlights can help to illuminate key areas. If you’re looking for more of a wow-factor, why not consider a bathroom chandelier?
Embrace the natural world
Biophilic design has been a popular concept over the past few years, aiming to increase connectivity to the natural world and bring the outdoors in. It’s most commonly incorporated into living rooms and conservatories, but its use in bathrooms is growing in popularity. Embrace the trend by using natural materials, and introducing some greenery into your bathroom. In fact, lots of plants thrive in a bathroom because of the heat and humidity, such as orchids, ferns and palms.
Create a focal point
If you’re looking for a quick way to make a big impact, consider a state-of-the-art bathtub, a bathroom fireplace, or even experiment with a piece of art that really draws attention to one point in the room.
Consider a theme
A theme can make it easier to pull the various elements of your space together and make a lasting impression. Try a color theme, or a theme inspired by a place or an era. You may wish to tie it in with other rooms in your home, or stand out completely.
Bathroom remodeling ideas for small bathrooms
If you’re working with a smaller space, you’ll need to get creative. Luckily, clever interior design choices can make your room feel larger. Here are a few tips:
- Opt for light colors – light shades and working with single colors can really help a small room seem a little bigger.
- Choose sliding shower doors – shower doors that pivot on hinges aren’t always practical for small spaces, so go for shower doors that slide on tracks for fewer banged elbows and knees!
- Install mirrors – as well as reflecting light around the room, mirrors can also create the illusion of more space.
- Opt for a pedestal sink – large vanities can take up a lot of room, so consider a pedestal sink instead, or even a corner sink.
However you plan to revamp your space, consider the help of qualified professionals to ensure a professional looking bathroom remodel.
