When making over your bathroom, you probably consider replacing everything from the floor to fixtures. However, a bathroom remodel doesn’t necessarily have to mean completely gutting the room and starting over. Many homeowners overlook small renovations that can make a big impact. As you plan your project, consider some of these ideas that might save time and money while completely transforming the space. 

4 Smart Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

1. Change Lighting 

Changing the lighting in your bathroom can make the space look and feel completely different. Swapping out old and outdated fixtures for a more contemporary set can brighten the space and make it feel fresh and new. However, it’s not just new fixtures that can improve lighting. New windows, a larger mirror, or even adding a glass shower door can all make a space feel larger and brighter. 

2. Update Hardware

Changing out the hardware, including towel bars, drawer pulls, faucets, and showerheads, can make a big impact without a full bathroom remodel. Consider swapping out your existing towel bars for heated ones or adding additional towel rings or bars near the tub or sink for convenience. Add an extra shelf or sill to the shower itself to increase storage and give the space an upgrade.

3. Play With Paint

Create an accent wall with a bold color or wallpaper that you might not use elsewhere in your home. Painting cabinetry can also give your bathroom an instant face-lift and save money in the process. 

4. Reglaze Tile

Even if you’re planning a more elaborate bathroom remodel, that doesn't mean you have to replace everything. Porcelain sinks, tubs, and tiles can be reglazed to repair cracks and chips and restore the color and shine. It’s even possible to completely change the color of the porcelain, allowing you to keep existing elements of your bathroom. Reglazing is especially attractive if you have an older home with antique fixtures that you want to keep to retain the home’s original character and charm.
