If you’re thinking about a remodeling project in your home, then consider starting with the bathroom. This is often the smallest room in the home, making it easy to remodel, especially since you likely won’t have to replace much of the plumbing or major details. Before you begin the project, you should have a plan in place that is discussed with your family or with a contractor who can offer assistance. When you have a few ideas in mind, it’s often easier to plan around the project so that your family can continue using the bathroom and so that you complete the job in a short time.

Tiling Options

You don’t need to use a lot of tile in the bathroom. The shower and the counters are usually the only areas that need tile. Paint can be used to cover the walls, or you could put tile about halfway up on the walls while painting the rest. A bathroom remodel Kernersville NC contractor can come to your home to determine the best type of tile to use while arranging the material in a manner that is pleasing to the eye. Another option is to create a tile rug in the center of the room with a decorative border. This can bring the focus to the overall design instead of the size of the room.

Lights

Larger bathrooms usually don’t need a lot of lights in them. Sconces on the walls beside the mirrors or near the door are ideas to consider. Add a touch of elegance to the bathroom by changing a basic light fixture and replacing it with a chandelier. This is an easy way to upgrade your bathroom without spending a lot of money. Combined with natural lighting and the right hardware on the drawers and cabinets, you can transform your bathroom into one that looks like it came from a magazine.

Tub and Shower

The tub and the shower are two elements of your bathroom that are important no matter which one you choose to have. Think about the needs of your family when deciding on whether to have a tub or a shower. If there is someone with mobility issues, then a shower would be beneficial instead of a tub. However, if you have children, then a tub might be the best option with a shower head installed so that there are multiple options for bathing. If you don’t have a lot of money to spend, then consider getting someone to refinish the tub that you currently have in your bathroom. A whirlpool bath is an option to consider as well. This is an idea if you work long hours or if there is someone in your home who has issues with muscle pain. A handheld sprayer in your shower is beneficial because it’s easier to use when washing your hair or rinsing your body. Dual showerheads, lights in the shower, and a seat are options to consider if you want to upgrade what’s already in your bathroom.
