Top Tips To Renovate A Bathroom

You might have moved into a new house and are looking to give your bathroom a whole new look. Or maybe you’re still living in your old house but want to switch things up by renovating your bathroom space. Regardless of why renovation can be exciting because it allows you to express your style and design skills. That said, it can be quite tricky to execute a bathroom renovation well, which is why we’ve put together a list of top tips for renovating a bathroom, so you can finally get that modern, chic looking bathroom you’ve always wanted. 

Create a budget

Before even going ahead to start renovating your bathroom, you’re going to want to create a budget. Renovation is great, and it gives you the opportunity to bring the home of your dreams to life. However, you need to keep in mind that it can also be quite expensive to do, especially if you’ll be using the services of a professional. If you do a DIY renovation, it will be significantly cheaper. These are some of the things you would need to take into consideration while creating your budget, and once you’ve come up with a solid and realistic budget, make sure you stick to it. 

Leverage bigger mirrors

A great tip when renovating your bathroom is to take advantage of your mirror choices. If you have a smaller bathroom, renovation may be a bit more difficult as you would be trying to fit in all your ideas into a small space. This is where mirrors come in. For the most part, when dealing with small bathrooms, large mirrors make a significant amount of difference in the overall outlook and feel of the space. A bigger mirror makes your bathroom look more spacious. Even better is a frameless mirror that covers a whole wall, resulting in a more open feeling bathroom. 

Choose the right bathroom color

Another key thing to consider when renovating your bathroom is your choice of color. Just like with your mirrors, the color you choose to paint your bathroom can have a major effect on the size of your room. Where dark colors leave the room feeling smaller than it actually is, lighter colors like white and cream give off a larger, more spacious, and relaxing feel to the room. Keep in mind that a paint job can be quite expensive, so if you’re looking to save a bit of money, you can simply paint your bathroom yourself. All you need is some paint, a paint tray, some paintbrushes and a lot of time. 

Choose your lighting

The next thing to look into is your lighting; first, consider the natural lighting. This type of lighting makes your bathroom feel a lot brighter. Incorporating a well-placed window (advisably near a mirror) can make a world of a difference in your bathroom. This source of lighting works alongside your mirror to show a better representation of what your skin tone looks like. On the other hand, there is artificial lighting and it’s equally very important. Consider adding bright LED lights that can be adjusted for softness and dimness so that it doesn’t give off an unpleasant, glaring light. 

Consider adding decorative pieces

To complete the look and appeal of your bathroom, you might want to consider adding some decorative pieces if there is still enough space left for that. For example, a decorative cupboard can give your bathroom a more modern looking feel to it. You could also add decorative pieces that double as functional pieces, such as a clothing hamper that can be used to hang clothes and towels.
