There are so many decisions to make when remodeling your bathroom. Some of them are expected and others you wouldn’t think about until the time to make the decision has come. We’re sharing some tips and features to remember when it comes time to start your bathroom remodel.
No Show Toilet
If you ask an experienced bathroom designer what their bathroom design pet peeve is, you’re likely to hear a rant about the toilet. Don’t make the toilet the focal point of your beautiful new bathroom. Too often, a bathroom door opens up to reveal a toilet, front and center. Now, think about all the times when the bathroom door is left open. This means everyone walking by has a framed view of the porcelain throne. Choose any other focal point and highlight that instead. If it makes sense for your design, position the toilet on the same wall as the door or at least out of view of the open door.
Go All In On Your Tub…
Tubs are one of those features that were standard for years in bathroom design, then were swapped out for fancy steam showers and the like. Now, tubs are back. Everything from deep soaking tubs to tiny tubs with a small footprint. If you have the space (or can get creative) get a tub for your bathroom.
…Or Shower
Not a tub person? No matter how trendy, if you’ll never step foot in a tub, deck out your shower. Opting out of a tub entirely is still a popular choice for Team Shower. By removing a tub and replacing it with a shower, you can save money by not having to reroute plumbing too. Popular choices in showers include floor-to-ceiling steam showers and curbless showers.
Choose Your Vanity Wisely
While vanities can seem like an easy choice to make when renovating your bathroom, this is a decision to be made carefully. If you choose a vanity too small for your space, you’ll be fighting with your family for storage and countertop space. If you choose one too large, it will throw off the scale of the room and take up precious space.
Overall, a bathroom renovation can be complex, especially if you’re not used to it. That’s why it’s important to work with an expert designer like ours from Fairview Millwork and Kitchens.
