9 DIY Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

In Blog by Ron NathanLeave a Comment

When you are ready to remodel your bathroom, you can use the tips listed below to bring the room to life. Some bathrooms can be transformed into a palatial space that will give you all the space you could ever need. Other bathrooms may be transformed into small retreats that focus on design instead of storage and cabinetry. There are a few ideas here that you could use to make your bathrooms feel special when you enter.

Tile Floors And Walls


Some bathrooms started out as carpeted rooms with wallpaper and/or traditional paint. One of the best things that you can do to ensure that the bathroom looks nice is adding tiles to the floor and walls. When you use tiling on the floors, you can make the room feel a bit larger. If you are adding tiles to the walls, you will help add a bit of light reflection to the room that makes it feel bigger. Plus, the room will be much brighter when you are looking in the mirror, trying to do your hair, or applying your makeup.

Add A Second Sink

When you would like to make your bathroom functional for you and your partner, you can add a second sink. When both of you have a sink to use, it is easy for you to get ready in the morning. You can ask a plumber to add piping for a second sink, and you can add a cabinet around both sinks. You can use one large cabinet that will manage both sinks, or you could add a special cabinet for each sink.

Plus, the sinks do not need to be the same color. It is quite a lot of fun to use opposing colors in the bathroom to add a bit of character to the space. Additionally, you can add a separate mirror in front of each sink. The space between the sinks could host pictures or artwork, and you can use a textured wall to make that space look a little bit more special.

Add A Hot Tub Or Floor Tub

When you want to expand the bathroom, you can separate the shower and tub. If you want to add a hot tub or floor tub, you need to decide which style of tub you will use more often. If you want to add a hot tub, you need a bit of extra space to install the tub and hide the motor/piping. You must add a protective subfloor layer that will help prevents leaks from seeping through to the next floor of the house.

If you want to install a floor tub, it is best to install the tub in an open space on tile or wood floors. The floor tub could have a modern design, or you may choose a claw foot tub that has four ornate legs that touch the floor.

Add A Power Shower

When you improve your shower, you should do more than install glass doors and new hardware. A power shower may have the shower head physically installed in the ceiling or hanging down from the ceiling. Plus, the shower may have sprayers in the wall that will spray from multiple directions.

A power shower may have a thick glass door that looks very expensive, or you could envelope yourself with sprayers that are installed in a large metal door. You can give yourself the relaxing shower you have always needed, and the shower will be a fun talking point for guests.

Recessed Lighting

It is too difficult for you to get ready in the morning if the lights in your bathroom are too bright. If you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, you do not want to be blinded by bright lights. When you install recessed lights in the bathroom, you will feel much more comfortable when you enter. Plus, you could add a dimmer to the light switch that will help you turn down the lights in the middle of the night. The bathroom should be functional no matter what time of day you use it.

No-Flush Toilets

You can add a no-flush toilet to your bathroom that will not use any water. These toilets slowly drip water to ensure that they are cleaned out. You only need to flush when absolutely necessary, and these toilets use far less water than normal toilets. You are conserving water, but you also get a modern design that is impressive when guests come over.

Add A Bidet

A bidet is the best washing accessory in the bathroom because it allows you to clean yourself up completely after going to the bathroom. When you add the bidet, you can make a bit of extra space on one side of the bathroom. The bidet will help you remain clean, and you do not need to worry about smelling bad when you leave the bathroom.

Raise The Ceiling

You can raise the ceiling to make the bathroom feel much bigger. When the room fills with steam, it is nice to have a high ceiling so that the steam can disperse. Plus, you can hang a ceiling fan from the high ceiling to help improve air flow in the room.

Add A Closet

When you add a linen closet to the bathroom, you can hide all the extra mats, towels, and accessories in the room. You can reach into the closet to get a towel, and you do not need to leave the room or tiptoe across the hall for a new towel.

Conclusion

When you are ready to remodel your bathroom, you can add everything listed above to make the room a beautiful place to rest and bathe. You can add new accessories that make the bathroom exciting to use, and the value of the house will rise because you have made these improvements. You can apply these tips to every bathroom to make all these rooms a nice place to rest and relax in quiet comfort.
