Bathroom Renovation - Top Five Tips
Renovating your bathroom can seem like a daunting task. Choosing tile, colours and textures can seem overwhelming but with the right tips and tricks it can be an stress-free and exciting project. Here are Vanity Centre's top five tips to help you elevate your bathroom:
- Find inspiration: With so many styles, sizes, materials and brands out there, it's hard to know where to start. To help you develop a cohesive design, look for one or two products you love and build from there. If you find a vanity that catches your eye, build around that by selecting faucets, shower systems and bath accessories that match the hardware. You can ask stores for samples of product colour swatches to take home and match with other items. Speak to a Product Expert at Vanity Centre who is trained to help you select vanities, medicine cabinets, linen cabinets, tiles, toilets and bathtubs.
- Set a budget: Before you begin any renovation project, it's important to set a budget and stick to it. This will help you prioritize what areas of your bathroom need the most attention and ensure that you don't overspend. At the same time, prices can go up, so leave yourself some wiggle room - we recommend 5% of the overall budget.
- Think about functionality: While aesthetics are important, it's also important to consider the functionality of your bathroom. Think about how you use the space and what changes can be made to make it more efficient. A high-use washroom, we recommend sleek and designs, with less details for dirt to build up or that risk chipping. For example Bliss - this easy to clean smooth high gloss finish bathroom vanity that's both practical but modern. It offers lots of storage too to help hide clutter.
- Invest in efficiency: Upgrading your bathroom with smart, LED, energy and water efficient products not only adds a wow factor but saves money and the environment. Now the options are endless for smart toilets like Eco-Way's Luxor, smart bluetooth LED mirrors like and touchless faucets. Smart products tend to cost more upfront but we still recommend them given the longterm savings.
- Take advantage of vertical space: If you have a small bathroom, consider using the walls for storage. Install linen cabinets above the toilet or on empty walls to maximize storage space. Many vanities have matching linen or medicine cabinets. For example, this De Lusso wall mount vanity in Nature Wood finish has a matching linen cabinet in three sizes.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can start your renovation off on the right foot and find the right style and budget so your bathroom will not only look great but also withstand the test of time.
