Before undertaking a bathroom remodeling, it’s crucial to think about every aspect of your bathroom. From picking out tile colors to selecting a new sink, this process is often fun for many homeowners. Before you get too deep into the aesthetics, think about the features below in depth to make your bathroom both beautiful and practical.

What to Think About Before a Bathroom Remodel

1. Accessory Height

Bathrooms with high mirrors, towel racks, and hooks may look refined, but they may not work for everyone in the family. Think about placing all your accessories at a height that is accessible to everyone, including children.

When looking in the mirror to shave or apply makeup, you want it to reflect at least the upper half of your torso, not just your face. Place floor-to-ceiling mirrors so that everyone can comfortably look at their reflection, and place hooks at a reasonable height.

2. Lighting

A well-lit bathroom goes a long way. Think about installing recessed lighting in your ceiling to lighten the room. You can also add a dimming switch so that you can choose the right light to match the time of day or your mood. Additionally, you can add lighting around your mirrors to help you see better during your daily routine.

3. Vanity Styles

Choose a custom vanity that fits your space perfectly, pops with bold colors, and accentuates certain countertops. For example, quartz countertops are durable and resilient to scratches. This style works best for a growing family that might be harder on their countertops. 

Marble is an elegant option. When sealed properly, scratches and staining are minimal. This elegant yet more fragile option may pair better with a newlywed or retired couple who will not put as much strain on its countertops.
