Upgrade Your Home with These Bathroom Remodeling Ideas
The day has come to usher your bathroom into the present century. If you are ready to modernize your bathroom, a simple, clean, and properly illuminated space is the right choice. Check out our modern bathroom remodeling ideas for your home and see how to refashion this essential area with a new paint scheme, sensible flooring, and features like moisture-resistant window treatments.
Embrace Neutral Colors for Surfaces
Small bathroom? Don't sweat it! Neutral colors are your secret weapon to creating a feeling of spaciousness and light. Ditch the dark and gloomy and, instead of cave-like walls, opt for a soft palette of creams, beiges, or calming light grays.
Here's why neutrals are perfect:
- They Reflect Light: Neutral colors like whites, light grays, and taupes act like magic mirrors, bouncing light around the room, making even the smallest bathroom feel spacious and airy.
- They Play Well with Others: Neutral colors create a simple, serene backdrop — almost like a blank canvas — that allows you to add pops of color with your towels, artwork, or even a statement rug.
Bonus Tip: Don't be afraid to play with texture! While the color palette might be neutral, you can add depth and visual interest by mixing textures like smooth marble countertops with matte subway tile or woven baskets.
Make A Splash With Appealing Counters and Floors
- Stone Countertop Statements: Give your bathroom the timeless elegance of natural stone countertops. From sleek granite to luxurious marble, these beauties offer a variety of colors, patterns, and a touch of luxury that can boost your home's resale value.
- Flooring Flair: There is a wild world of design possibilities with your bathroom floor. Classic tile remains popular, and a cool gray can create a sophisticated contrast with white walls. With that said, don't be afraid to explore! The long-lasting, versatile vinyl sheet offers incredible water resistance and comes in a mind-blowing array of designs, mimicking the look of wood, stone — even tile itself!
Choose the Best Bathroom Window Treatments
Most remodeling professionals agree that exterior light is ideal for bathrooms as it brings out the true color of your hair, face, and clothing. If you're fortunate enough to have a window or expect to put one in, selecting the proper bathroom window treatments for your home is essential.
Polywood® shutters are an excellent option as they are water-resistant and provide total light control. Swing open the panels for unfettered sunlight or adjust the louvers for the ideal balance of sunlight and privacy. Additionally, Polywood's quintessential white color and enduring appeal work beautifully with any paint scheme or design.
Save Energy In Your Modern Bathroom
A modern approach is about more than just upgrading your style. You can also take advantage of the opportunity to reduce your energy usage. There are many ways to achieve this, including:
- Low-flow toilets that dramatically reduce water consumption
- Bathroom window treatments with unrivaled insulating capacity
- LED lights
- Shower heads that conserve water
In addition, if you have kids who sometimes neglect to turn off lights, eliminate the frustration by integrating lights with motion sensors.
Other Bathroom Remodeling Ideas to Create Your Own Personal Oasis
Gone are the days of sterile, boring bathrooms. Modern bathrooms embrace clean lines and functionality, but that doesn't mean they have to be yawn-inducing. Ready to elevate your bathroom from blah to breathtaking? Here are a few inspiring ideas:
- Indulge in Bathtub Bliss: Imagine sinking into a freestanding bathtub after a long day – pure luxury! These beauties come in various styles and sizes, so you can find the perfect centerpiece for your spa retreat.
- Float On: Ditch the bulky vanity and embrace the modern aesthetic with a floating vanity. This creates a sense of airiness and lightness, perfect for smaller bathrooms. Plus, it's easier to clean underneath!
- Light Up Your Style: Don't settle for harsh overhead lighting. Amp up the ambiance with accent lighting like sconces or pendant lights. And this is not just for looks, either. Layered lighting ensures each area – vanity, shower, toilet – is well-illuminated for functionality.
