Why Are You Remodeling Your Bathroom?
It is important to know why you are remodeling your bathroom before you begin the project. Are you focused on increased functionality, reduced costs, and improved safety, or is the endeavor primarily aesthetic? Perhaps it is not just a single motivating factor driving the project, but a combination of several. Why not seal multiple tiles with a single grout, as they say. Having a clear idea of “why” is critical to ensuring the successful completion of “what” you are aiming to accomplish. Common motivators for a bathroom remodel include:
- Boost the Value of Your Home. According to Zillow, mid-range bathroom remodels typically result in a $1.71 increase in home value for every dollar spent, particularly in older homes. Updating your bathroom with current trends and a sleek, modern look can make your home stand out in the crowded real estate market, and increase your home’s overall value by an average of nearly 4%.
- Increase Safety. Bathrooms are slippery and can be dangerous. Adding a walk-in tub, walk-in shower, grab bars, and hands-free faucets to your remodel can help prevent injury. These types of safety-focused improvements appeal to and help elderly homeowners, and thus are a great long-term investment.
- Lower Utility Costs and Water Usage. Water-saving toilets, showerheads, and faucets can help homeowners significantly reduce water use, which leads to noticeably lower utility costs. Not only is that a plus for your pocketbook, it’s a plus for the environment as a whole.
- Increase Functionality. If your bathroom isn’t actually working for you and your family the way you want it to, that’s a problem that needs to be addressed. Oftentimes older bathrooms begin to feel cramped, cracked and cluttered. Through a clever renovation of your bathroom, you can maximize the feel of the room and make the most of the space you have. There are a lot of cost-effective and simple tweaks you can do to make the most of small bathrooms, and to reclaim nonfunctional spaces. It’s an important room in your house, and it should be meeting all your needs, in style.
- Revamp an Outdated Style. Your bathroom should be a room you actually enjoy spending time in. If the space no longer reflects your personal style, or could use an infusion of sleek modern touches, then an aesthetically-driven remodeling project may be in order.
How Exactly Do I Go About Turning My Bathroom Into a Spa?
I hear you. You want to increase functionality and save water, sure. But what is really driving your desire for a bathroom remodel is that last trip you took to Fiji, and the luxury spa from that one resort you can’t seem to get out of your mind. Is it really possible to turn your own humble washroom into such an oasis of relaxation, inspiration and calm? Yes! Read on for some ideas on how to transform your plain old bathroom into an exquisite and stylish spa.
- Incorporate Shelving. Shelving is a small space dweller’s best friend, especially when it comes to the organizational challenge that is a small bathroom. Install a few tiers of open-shelving on your walls, add a few baskets for towels, fancy soaps, and a decorative accent or two and voila! Instant spa retreat.
- Integrate Natural Accents Such As Wood and Stone. Bringing a touch of nature into the bath space will instantly evoke spa-like elegance. For a scandi-style effect, utilize classic hardwoods such as oak, maple or walnut for shelving and finishing. If real wood is too difficult or pricy to attain, or is not an option in your particular case, consider wood-effect porcelain tiles, which even come complete with their own textured surface and finish.
Natural stone is easy to work into your plans and contributes a feeling of calm, relaxation and clarity. Creative use of stones in your design imbue a brilliant mix of natural simplicity and sophisticated luxury.
- Place Your Tub By A Window. Nothing inspires a sense of calm and rejuvenation like natural light. The simple act of placing your tub by a window cultivates this effect, with an added bonus being that you’ll be able to grow plants in your bathroom as well. Plants thrive surprisingly well in the humid conditions of the bathroom, especially with some natural light coming in.
- Consider a Freestanding Tub. One easy way to inject some serious spa vibes into your bathroom is to go with a sleek, stylish freestanding bath. There are many styles and options to choose from, and the addition instantly adds pizazz and class to your bathroom, transforming it into a luxury retreat.
