An updated bathroom has the ability to change how you feel about and how others perceive your home. Your bathroom may be one of the smaller rooms in your home, but it is also one of the most important rooms as well. This is where you spend some of your most private moments, and a place for peace and even relaxation. However, when it comes to bathroom renovations, there are many options and styles you need to decide on. Everything from the style of toilet to the hardware that will help pull the room together. These decisions can leave you feeling a little overwhelmed and perhaps even confused.
To help you navigate this process, we have put together a list of 5 bathroom renovation ideas that will help turn your bathroom into the bathroom of your dreams.
1. Create the Feeling of a Larger Space
No matter the size of your bathroom, you can always make it feel more spacious with a well-placed mirror. Installing a large mirror will not only give the illusion of larger space, it will also help brighten up your bathroom by reflecting more light. A larger mirror will also provide more space when getting ready in the morning or to go out, especially if you share the bathroom with someone else.
2. Not Just Any Bathtub Will Do
Your bathtub is not just where you can lay back and relax. It also has the potential of being the focal point of your bathroom. With multiple designs, styles, and functions available to select from, you need to choose wisely. Consider how you will utilize the tub (do you enjoy a long relaxing soak, or perhaps you enjoy the message jets have to offer, or you may not be a bath person at all) and select a tub that will meet your needs but that will also compliment the interior décor of your bathroom.

3. Pick Your Porcelain Wisely
The importance a toilet plays in your bathroom renovation should not be underestimated. Just like your bathtub, there are plenty of options when it comes to choosing a toilet. Style, design and function are the main differentiators. From low flow toilets designed to conserve water consumption to toilets with built in bidets for that extra clean feeling, your choice needs to be made on what features are important to you. A few other options that you should give some consideration to are if you like the look of a one-piece or two-piece toilet, and if you are more comfortable sitting on a round or elongated bowl shape?
4. Hardware
The hardware you choose for your bathroom renovation will add the final touches to the room. Choose cupboard handles, knobs, towel racks, toilet paper holders, and faucets that help accentuate the room. No matter if you choose a classic look or a more modern design, choosing hardware that doesn’t mesh well together will leave your bathroom feeling chaotic and take away from the tranquil ambiance you are looking for.
5. Increase Storage Space
You can always use extra storage space for all the items we all store in our bathrooms. Installing a floor to ceiling cabinet as well as cabinet organizers in your bathroom will help you store towels, toiletries, extra toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and everything else you need access to properly.
