Renovations are a great time to introduce new-and-improved aspects to your bathroom. They are also a big investment, so you’ll want to make sure that you’re investing in the right things when it comes to your remodel.
At Washington Marble Works, our team of professionals knows quite a bit about bathroom remodels, so we’re here to tell you how to get the most functionality and beauty out of your bathroom. After all, this room is where most of us start and end the day—it should turn out exactly as you imagined it, or even better.
Tips for Your Bathroom
Here are three tips that you should always remember when remodeling your bathroom:
1. Consider the Lighting
Bathroom lighting is essential for getting ready, so to make it extra-customizable, we recommend installing a dimmer on the light switch. Not only does this let you adjust the lighting for your reflection, but it also lets you shift the mood. If you’re taking a relaxing bath, you don’t want to be encased in darkness, but overly bright overhead lighting isn’t very peaceful either.
You should also include a light in your shower space—this is something that not many people think of doing.
A well-lit bathroom is a game changer. It also helps to have a vanity area with recessed fixtures around the mirror so you can see what you’re doing when shaving, styling your hair, or doing any task that involves fine details.
2. Remember Shower Essentials
There are a few things about your shower that you should know in order to make your bathroom as comfortable as possible. First of all, installing a frosted glass window in your shower area is a great way to add ventilation and prevent mold and mildew buildup in your bathroom.
Second of all, it’s wise to put some critical thought into your showerhead. If the shower is a rejuvenating, relaxing place for you, you won’t regret installing a rainfall showerhead for luxury and a heated towel rack for an ultimate spa-like feeling.
And in your shower, recessed niches can be a huge asset to storing shampoo, conditioner, and other shower supplies so they don’t fall all over the place while you’re in there.
3. Think of the Countertops
Vanity tops should be both functional and beautiful. Since the bathroom can sometimes be wet and soapy, the last thing your countertops should be is porous and vulnerable. You want something that you don’t have to cast a second thought toward when you’re rushing in the morning.
Quartz is a great choice because it’s nonporous, stain resistant, and scratch resistant too. Not to mention beautiful!
