Bathroom Remodeling Done Right

Of course, you want the bathroom to function well and fit into your personal style. But you also want to be “on trend” so when you sell your home, the bathroom will appeal to potential buyers and help the home sell at a higher price. It’s smart to look into how you can get a return on your investment. In order to help you take the right bathroom remodeling path, keep these top 5 trends in mind.

Trend 1: Incorporate Smart Storage

Bathrooms aren’t usually the largest room in the house, but they do have a lot of stuff in them. You have to have towels, toiletries, and plenty of other items nearby. Practical storage is something that is very much on trend and will never go out of style. When possible, homeowners are taking advantage of vertical space by running cabinets up against the walls in bathroom remodeling projects. This can look great and give you the extra storage you need.

Trend 2: Think Classic And Go White

You can use any color in your bathroom, but white is classic and a very trendy color for bathrooms right now. It is also something that will never go out of style. You can use white as the main color and add accents with pops of other colors to give the room depth. Think about white subway tiles around the shower or tub, for example. Brighter colors will help make the space look larger.

Trend 3: Use Natural Light As Much As Possible

Not every bathroom has access to a lot of natural light. It’s a tricky space since you want light, but you need privacy as well. If you have the opportunity to add a window in your bathroom remodeling project, you can add a frosted window that gives you light and privacy. You could also consider a skylight, which can give you great lighting from above while not taking away from your privacy.

Trend 4: Contribute To The Ease Of Use

Right now, there’s a huge trend leaning toward the ease of use. Anything you can do to make your bathroom easier to use, you should try to do. Think about things like no-threshold showers, comfort height toilets, and side mount faucets. These items are gaining popularity for practical reasons and they don’t look to be going off trend anytime soon.

Trend 5: Media And Music

Whether you want extra relaxation or need to hear the news, putting more electronics into bathroom remodeling projects is becoming very popular. Wireless speakers, docking stations, Bluetooth devices and others are being placed in the mirrors, showerheads, and even vanities. You can multitask even as you get ready and enjoy the process at the same time.
