A simple bathroom remodel could add thousands of dollars’ worth of value to your home while creating a luxurious and comfortable space for you to enjoy every single day. However, making the design decisions necessary to get started can be difficult. Here are a few pointers about what to do—and what to avoid.

Do:

Update the lighting. 

New lighting can brighten up a space and add a touch of visual interest. Choose light fixtures that meld well with the decor you’re considering. Additionally, think of how much light they will contribute into your space. 

Warm LED lamps and ceiling lights will create a soft, luxurious space for when you want to escape the stress of the day, while task lighting near the mirror can boost visibility when you need to be precise with makeup or the razor. 

Install a glass shower enclosure. 

Glass shower enclosures create a glossy, sleek environment while also helping you to create a larger-looking bathroom. Because they can be installed floor to ceiling, shower enclosures create a separate space but also give people the chance to see that gorgeous tile work inside. 

Don’t:

Choose bright tile colors. 

Although gorgeous painted tiles may be all the rage now, you never know when those patterns and designs will become less popular. If you aren’t careful, you could unintentionally choose tiles that look dated or tacky later, so try to stick with neutral colors and patterns. For instance, marble or cream subway tiles or herringbone installations look great—while creating a classic, timeless feel. 

Skip storage. 

Although many people today switch to pedestal sinks and floating vanities without storage, you may miss having those spaces to hide cleaning supplies, washcloths, and your mismatched towels. Unless you have a spacious closet just outside the door, make sure your bathroom remodel accommodates plenty of storage. You’ll be able to easily access everything you need to without making the space look cluttered.
