Tips And Advice For Standard Or Customized Bathroom Renovations

Research says that people love to remodel their bathrooms more than their kitchens. There are several reasons for it but the primary reason is that the space is smaller and therefore the job is much easier. Also, smaller the place, lower is the cost of bathroom renovations in comparison to kitchens. This is because there will be:

• Less flooring to do
• Less area to paint
• Fewer and smaller cabinets to build and 
• Smaller countertops required.

However, this does not mean you can do it just anyway. There are a few specific ways in which you can make your bathroom look more attractive and at the same time keep the entire process efficient, hassle-free, fast and cost-effective.

• Since the space is small, focus on recessed lights on the ceiling, medicine cabinets, soap dishes, and even toilet roll holders.
• According to building code, all bathrooms need proper ventilation. You can build a proper window or use exhaust fan with good exhaust capacity and lower noise levels.
• You may add plants on a floating shelf to incorporate color in your sterile bathrooms. 

Also make it a point that during bathroom renovations you choose the right flooring, choose the right color according to the size of the room, install adequate lighting, include more mirrors on the walls, and add freestanding or hanging items. Also, protect the lower parts of the walls using beadboard that will give an antique look.

Other considerations to make

In order to make your bathroom look more attractive, there are a few other considerations that you better make during bathroom renovations. 

• You must waterproof the space to limit the risk of leaks or mold and mildew to grow. Use tiles on backer boards, walls and shower enclosures for that matter.
• If you want a smart home, your bathroom should be smart as well. You can use waterproof televisions on the wall or built-in hi-fi systems, automated bath fillers and blinds, smart lighting controls and more. This will set a different mood in the bathroom.
• Always invest more on the brassware. This not only looks good and adds color to the room but will also make it easy for you to clean and maintain them. This will prevent limescale build-up as well. 
• Insist on concealed pipework during bathroom renovations. This will give your bathroom a cleaner look to the floor, ceilings and boxing. In addition to that, this will make tiling and laying flooring process much easier. However, make sure that the vital components of the pipework are easy to access in case there is a leak.

If you have wooden windows in your bathroom, you should make sure that moisture in the room is minimal so that it does not rot the wood. 

Building customized bathrooms

If you have a standard bathroom and can afford it, you can go for a customized one when you go for bathroom renovations. Just like a standard bathroom, a customized bathroom will have a lot of suite fixtures. However, the difference between a standard and a customized bathroom will be in the final design. 

Ideally, a customized bathroom will have matching countertop, built-in cabinets and more in specific areas of the bathroom. It will also have things like:

• Personalized cabinets
• Modified vanities and 
• High-end facilities. 

If you do not want stock options, you can also go for bigger or smaller, wider or different color floating vanities, double-wide sinks, customized cabinets made from wood of your choice and specific style. Just make sure that the flooring of the wet room extends to the rest of the bathroom with no separation, steps or raised areas to prevent any risks of fall and injuries.
