Remodelling a bathroom can be one of the most satisfying pleasures in life. You can make it unique for you and your family. The problem is that homeowners tend to get too focused on the many features of their bathroom, such as the tiles, tubs, shower screens, and vanities.
Let’s now take a look at five essential elements of your bathroom that one often overlooks but which you should address during the planning stage to create the perfect space!
1. Proper storage
Bathroom storage is an issue. It would help if you thought twice about installing a floor standing vanity unit. You also need storage for your beauty and makeup products, as well as bath products, cleaning products, towels, and other items. Consider cabinet-style vanity units, shelves, and mirrored cabinets installed over the basin. You can fit bookcase-style shelves into the studs to take advantage of extra space and reduce the projection into your bathroom.
2. Slip-proof flooring
Tiles can be dangerous and slippery for anyone, whether elderly, children, or dogs. It is essential to choose non-slip tiles instead of shiny, beautiful tiles. Many trendy non-slip tile options are available, so there’s no need to settle for traditional or institutional tiles.
3. Next owner
It would help if you balanced your style and the resale price of your home, as with any home renovation. While you might love the idea of using canary yellow tiles, buyers will not appreciate it if your home is up for sale in the future. It would be best if you focused on timeless elegance. However, this does not mean you cannot have a bathroom that expresses your style. You can use modern taps and bathroom accessories in the colour you wish, gold and black are the most used ones.
4. Good ventilation
Ventilation is vital for maintaining a clean bathroom. However, it is often overlooked. It is essential to have a large exhaust fan that fits into the space. Also, it should vent to the outside. Otherwise, all that warm moist air will sit in your roof and encourage mould growth. Although a window can be a remarkable feature in your bathroom, it is insufficient to prevent mould growth. Make sure you have the correct ventilation system installed in your bathroom.
5. Make sure you have enough space for cleaning
You don’t want to make it difficult to clean a small bathroom. There should be enough space between the bathroom vanity, shower walls and toilet for a vacuum, mop, or hand-held duster. It’s frustrating to see a pile of dirt, dust, or insects that you cannot access.
