If you are a homeowner looking to improve your home maybe because you want to put it on the market or perhaps because the way it looks now is not up to your taste or the functionality is just not there, you should know that it is always a good idea to do some Miami bathroom remodeling. A renovated bathroom will not only result in a much more attractive property to potential buyers, but it will also allow you and your loved ones to enjoy the home much more. Here are some ideas to get your imagination started.
Swap Out the Bathtub for a Large Walk-in Shower
The real estate that a bathtub takes up is too valuable if this is not something you enjoy regularly. If so, take it out and use the space to increase the size of your shower. These days, there is no limit to the number of contraptions and water sprays you can add to a shower, making the whole experience feel as though you are being pampered at a spa.
Start by replacing the showerhead and get one that will not only save water but offer you a custom water flow. Replace the tired shower doors with sliding doors that glide smoothly and will open up the space making it look larger and more inviting. You may also think about the future and install a bar to hold onto while lathering yourself or a bench where you can sit comfortably and shave your legs. Consider also getting a digital shower system that will allow you to control some shower operations with the touch of a few buttons.
Get New Tiles
If your bathroom has old-fashioned tile on the floor, it may be time to upgrade that look and get new tiles. Think about slip-resistant tiles, and, if your budget allows it, consider installing radiant-heated flooring to pamper your feet. You will be amazed at the variety of shapes, colors, and designs available in tiles today. Your installer may suggest installing the tiles close together so that you can have minimal or no grout lines that will give you a cleaner look without having to worry about cleaning the grout in the future.
Upgrade the Toilet
Start with a toilet that will use less water which will save you water and money whenever anyone flushes it. If your bathroom will have a sleek and modern look, you may also want to splurge on a toilet with a hidden tank space. However, think twice about going this route since maintenance can pose a challenge. Ask your plumber to install an eye-catching access door valve to minimize stress when the time for maintenance comes.
Maximize Storage
There is no better time to add storage to a bathroom than when you are remodeling or renovating it. You know that you can never have too much storage and bathrooms have huge needs for it, particularly if you enjoy large bath towels and tend to stock up on essentials like toilet paper, shampoos, conditioners, and other toiletries.
Depending on the amount of storage you can fit in and on your particular needs, you may want to go for a mix of open and closed storage solutions which will allow you to display some interesting pieces or plants.
Upgrade Fixtures, Accessories, and Lighting
The final look of your renovated bathroom will be rounded out when you add new mirrors to create an illusion of a larger space or when you change out the fixtures such as the towel or toilet paper holders. Nowadays you can have a vertical toilet paper holder that will make it a breeze to install a new roll whenever needed. Maybe you want heated towel racks to give getting out of the shower a pampering feeling. All this can be complemented with new light fixtures that will brighten the space. Some bathrooms have no outside windows and adequate lighting keeps the claustrophobic feeling away. Some lamps can be used to add brightness to the room while others may be used for a specific purpose such as helping you get better results when you apply makeup.
