Bathroom Remodeling

se “oldie but goodie” bathroom trends. After all, not everyone has a good acreage home. Depending on how much space you have, you need to ensure that your design is efficient and flows well.

Don’t do a separate tub and shower space if it means making your bathroom look small and cluttered. You can opt for design options like the right custom tubs. Getting smart toilets—ones with hidden tanks or are low flow are great options, too.

Finally, don’t forget storage! Every bathroom needs to have good storage for your everyday essentials. From spare towels to toiletries, you need to be able to incorporate storage elements into your design.

3. Opt For Neutrals

Neutrals are in, and for a good reason. They’re a great choice for your bathroom design. Not only do they relax the eye, but they complement most accent and design pieces.

This gives you a wider array of fun and chic accessories to choose from. A popular combination is clean, muted whites or greys combined with a pop of yellow towels or a mustard rug. Opting for neutrals opens your options for more playful decorating ideas.

Your bathroom will always have a roomy and airy feel if you opt for natural lighting or modern light fixtures. More so, a neutral palette would make your bathroom look clean without making it look too bland.

Neutrals give your personal oasis a touch of timeless class and sophistication. It also ensures that your latest bathroom remodelbathroom remodel

4. Use Wooden Accents

Wooden accents are a favorite in the world of interior design. They give any space a warm and inviting feel. Depending on the type of wood you choose, it can lend a space either a rustic, industrial, or zen vibe.

There’s no reason why it won’t work for your bathroom too! Many people opt for either an industrial look with clean, chic lines and dark wood to complement. Other bathroom trends include using bamboo to evoke a more zen-like spa atmosphere.

You can also incorporate wooded accents either through shiplap or cabinetry. If you’re feeling a bit bolder, then opt for a wooden tub or vanity accent sink or stand. In contrast, wooden decor like bathroom caddies or toiletries holders is the safer way to go.

Although one thing to note when using wood in the bathroom is to make sure it’s the right wood. The last thing you want isn’t waterproofed, causing it to get moldy or rot.

One crucial design tip is never to use particle boards for your bathroom. They aren’t built for moist environments.

5. Heated Flooring and Lamps Are a Must

If you’re looking to splurge a little more for your bathroom remodel, then go for heated floors. For those who live in the colder areas, you’ll benefit a lot from heated flooring and lamps. It’s something that people think they don’t need – until they experience it.

Most modern bathrooms have heated flooring and heating lamps. What’s great about them is that they come in various designs.

If you’re looking to update your outdated bathroom space, then heating features are a must. You might think to yourself that you’ll only use it during the wintery months – but that rarely ever happens. You might want to keep it on 24/7, of course, unless it’s the middle of summer.

There’s nothing more that kills the relaxing vibe of a long bath than a cold room and floors. Imagine getting out of your much-needed hot shower or bath only with the cold tiles or room to greet you. You wouldn’t want to rush yourself to get dressed or step out of your space because it’s cold.

6. Countertop Material Matters

A lot of people end up neglecting the countertops in their bathrooms. Don’t do this – countertops are one of the most expensive fittings you can get for your home or bath. Choose one that will last for a long time.

They’ll be seeing a lot of use, so make sure they’re the right material and have the right fit. The last thing you want is to replace it because of water or wear damage, or cracks. Invest in the right material and builders for this job.

Countertops also affect the look and ambiance of your bathroom. When doing a full bathroom reno, don’t stick with your outdated countertop. It will only drag down the overall aesthetic.

Depending on the look you’re going for, choose a durable yet stylish one. The more common bathroom trends for countertops today include quartz or concrete waterfalls. Quartz tops offer a more classic look, while concrete gives your space a more industrial vibe.

7. Update Your Fixtures

Having updated fixtures like lighting elements go a long way. Fixtures like a rain-head shower for your walk-in shower make all the difference. They make your bathroom look more modern and convenient.

If you neglect small details like your fixtures, you won’t achieve a coherent look. Bathroom remodels aren’t something you often do. This is why getting it right the first time around is important.

Bathworks did a fabulous job on our shower. It had some custom things that needed to be done and they did a beautiful job. The two man crew were professionally and diligently all day and got it done in one day as advertised ❤️

As an engineer, I have worked on many projects. Brandon and Joe are among the best I’ve had the pleasure of working with. On time, very helpful with recommendations and excellent at cleaning up. The job was completed as promised and it looks great.

Jake, Ace & Jimmy did a great job replacing my old tub/shower combo with a walk-in shower with a chair and grab bars. They covered everything with drop cloths and cleaned up their mess completely when they were done. They explained the lifetime warranty, how to operate the water handle and shower head as well as the cleaning of the shower in full. We're very satisfied with the professionalism and friendliness of all of them. We would definitely recommend Bath Works for your bathroom upgrade.

Jake and Jared made sure to explain everything they were going to do, they laid out drop cloths to protect the carpet and when they were done they picked everything up and even vacuumed for me. During installation they double checked where I wanted things installed. They were professional in their manner as well as the fabulous job they did installing my new shower. I would encourage anyone thinking of redoing their shower to give them a call.
