So you’ve decided to remodel your bathroom, which is now showing its age. In addition to choosing the right bathroom contractor, it’s important to plan which features should be at the top of your list. Here are the bathroom features that you should prioritize:

The Layout

The layout will be the foundation of everything else you put in your bathroom, so make sure it’s a layout you can live with. The right layout will make your bathroom more cohesive and functional. 

The Vanity

One of the most important parts of your bathroom is the vanity. It is also one of the features that can make your bathroom beautiful. This large piece of furniture typically draws the eyes, so choose well. Take into account all the frequent users of your bathroom, such as your kids and elderly loved ones.

The Shower

Don’t forget to leave enough floor space for the shower, particularly if it’s not in the bathtub. Elbow and headroom are important when it comes to a shower area. Consider a frameless shower screen if you have a small bathroom. The transparent glass will open up the space and make it seem bigger.

The Bathtub

Nothing in a bathroom lends it more luxury than a good bathtub. The great thing about it is that there are so many types of bathtubs to choose from, whether it’s the design or the material. Consider the weight of the material, particularly if it will be used in an upstairs bathroom.

The Floor

Tiles are still the most popular choice when it comes to bathroom floors. Don’t underestimate the power of tile design to open up a space or give it direction. Ask your bathroom remodeler for advice on how to maximize your tile floor.

Mirrors

You’ve probably heard that mirrors can make a space look bigger than it really is. Well, it’s true, and you can take advantage of a good mirror or several to design your bathroom and give it depth. The most common area where the mirror is located is at the vanity, but you have options to use it just about anywhere in the bathroom.

The Lighting

You can install ambient lighting to set the mood as you take a soak and sip a good drink, but don’t forget about natural lighting, as well as additional lighting fixtures to make it easier to see at all times. Remember that bathrooms are one of the areas in a home where most accidents happen. Adding natural and artificial lighting can help you prevent accidents.

The Ventilation

Your bathroom can be beautiful but it still won’t be a happy place if smells never leave. Make sure there’s enough ventilation to keep it hygienic and to prevent the growth of mold in this moisture-rich environment.

The Fixtures

You don’t have to settle for boring taps. There are so many options out there at every price point and in different materials and colors. Shop around and choose the fixtures that suit your taste.
