5 Features to Include in Your Bathroom Remodel

A bathroom remodel is one of the best investments you can make in your home.  It will provide you with the spa-like atmosphere that you want in your home.  And, if you plan to sell your home it will also increase your home’s value.  When you are embarking on a bathroom remodel there are many factors that will influence the features you choose.  First, your budget will have a heavy influence on what type of bathroom remodel you undertake.  Second, how long you plan to stay in the home may influence what features you decide to incorporate in your bathroom remodel.  Bathrooms are a highly personal space so personal preferences and how you use your bathroom will influence the features you include. Below are 5 features to consider implementing in your home bathroom remodel.

5 Features to Include in Your Bathroom Remodel

1. Luxurious Tub
   • Do you love to take a nice relaxing bath? Whether you want a deep soaking tub or jacuzzi tub, there are many luxurious baths from which to choose for your bathroom remodel. You may opt to have your tub built in or you may choose to incorporate a freestanding tub such a claw foot tub. Whatever your design aesthetic, there is a luxurious tub waiting to be installed in your new bathroom.
2. Walk-In Shower
   • Walk-in showers come in all shapes and sizes. They can be incorporated into just about any size bathroom. You can install a small yet spacious walk-in shower or you can install a spacious walk-in shower that that has multiple shower heads and can function as a steam room.  The possibilities are endless.
3. New Hardware
   • No bathroom remodel would be complete without new hardware. Whether your hardware is outdated or you just want to change the decor aesthetic, new hardware is a small investment with a large impact.
4. Improved Lighting
   • New light fixtures can add style and added functionality to your bathroom. Multiple light fixtures with different features or improved controls for different light settings can have a significant impact on your bathroom remodel, as Forbes points out, “Consider recessed light fixtures throughout your ceiling to brighten up the room. Include one (or two) in your shower with the proper shower trim. Install a dimmer switch so you can adjust the mood in your bathroom. You’ll want to consider how you’ll be using the mirror in your bathroom and whether you want aesthetic or functional lighting. Whether you’ll be applying make-up or shaving, bright light fixtures properly placed go a long way to help you see what you’re doing close up.”
5. New Cabinetry
   • Replacing your bathroom cabinetry will provide an instant update and significant aesthetic impact on your bathroom remodel. New cabinetry may offer better organization and storage in addition to the aesthetic improvement.
