For many, the bathroom is a personal oasis to decompress from daily stresses, so it makes sense if you are looking to add some luxury to your bathroom space. While the rest of your home may encompass an open plan to suit modern, sociable lifestyles, the bathroom should offer spa-like escape from your often-chaotic life. If you’re living with an outdated bathroom, a makeover will provide many benefits other than just an updated look. Here are a few tips to consider before you break ground, or tile!

First and foremost, never sacrifice quality for aesthetic. Always keep in mind that functionality is the most important aspect of your new bathroom. It’s easy to get swept up in new trends or products. So, when choosing new bathroom features (cabinets, tub replacement, tiling, shower doors, or wall surrounds), consider asking the following questions:

• What material is it made of?

• What is the life expectancy? How often will it need to be replaced?

• Does the product come with warranties?

Many homeowners complain that they don't have enough storage when it comes to their bathroom layouts. New designs and styles of vanities/cabinets can give you plenty of space for all your toiletries, supplies and bulkier items like towels.

If you’re planning on staying in your current home for many years to come, your bathroom remodel is the perfect time to add some aging-friendly accessibility features. Even if you don’t expect to use your bathroom for years on end, many of these features can make your shower or tub more comfortable. Our tip is to consider simple add-ons like grab bars and seating that will make the bathing experience more relaxing.
