Bathrooms can be tricky to renovate. The space is small, and many elements need to be considered. That's why it's important to take your time when planning for your luxury bathroom renovations so that you end up with a space that works for you—and looks good on the outside, too!
Here are some valuable tips to consider when renovating your bathroom; read on!
Consider the Bathroom's Size
The dimensions of your bathroom will greatly impact how you can design it. You need to make sure that everything you want to do fits into your space, including:
- The size of the mirror. Make sure there is enough wall space for the mirror, or consider choosing an accent wall instead.
- The size of the toilet and sink. If these items are too large for their allotted space, you may feel awkward in your room—and no one wants that! If possible, don't put them in front of windows so as not to block natural light from coming in through them (this applies more to toilets than sinks).
- The shower/bathtub area and shower curtain length should also be considered before making any final decisions on installation locations; otherwise, things could get very crowded inside if something is too small or doesn't fit right where it's supposed to go!
Make the Mirror the Focal Point
- Make the mirror the focal point. A large, clean mirror is essential to any bathroom renovation. Having a clear reflection of yourself means that you can see what's going on in your hair and make sure it looks good, which makes you feel better about yourself and helps avoid annoying others with frizzy flyaways or detangling knots as you leave the house.
- Alternatively, if there isn't any room for additional fixtures, try mounting mirrors over reflective surfaces such as tile walls instead; this will bounce light around, creating an illusion that makes everything look bigger than it is (which could mean less strain on joints, too!).
Place the Vanity in a Smart Spot
Consider the following when deciding where to place your vanity:
- Accessibility. The best place for vanity is a spot that is easy to access, whether you have someone helping you with moving furniture. Placing it against a wall will prevent it from getting in the way of traffic flow and limit how much space needs to be cleared before accessing it.
- Cleanliness/Maintenance. In addition to accessibility, consider how easy it will be to clean around and maintain the countertop area of your bathroom once you're finished renovating. If there's already some plumbing in that location, a good rule of thumb could be placing something that can fit underneath all those pipes (like a sink or tub) so they don't block any water lines should they leak during use or cleaning sessions later!
Consider Where to Put the Toilet
When planning your bathroom renovation, consider where to put the toilet.
This will depend on the people who will need access to the toilet. You'll want it to be convenient for yourself and your family members, but also consider guests and other visitors. Where is the best spot for them?
If you have young children, they may not be able to reach or open doors (or even bend down). The same goes for older children—and adults! If you have pets that want in on bath time or sleepovers, remember they may behave differently around a toilet than elsewhere in your home.
Hope these tips have been helpful for you as you plan your luxury bathroom renovations. Remember, the process isn't about having everything perfect from the beginning; it's about making changes that work for you and understanding how each decision affects the rest of your design. So don't be afraid to experiment!
