Whether you have a simple home or a big modern house, your bathrooms should work properly. Planning to remodel your bathroom? Read these tips to know how to increase storage, improve lighting and drainage system and to be sure that your renovated bathroom stands the test of time.
1) Plumbing – There is no surprise to know that how much gunk and hair go down in your bathroom drain. Make sure that to use the larger drain to avoid any sort of blockage. The larger the drain, the less likely it is to clog. Residential drainages generally use one and a half inch pipes, you can upgrade them to 2 inches. The cost difference to upgrade to a 2-inch drain is practically negligible, and unless your framing doesn’t allow for it, you should consider increasing the drain in your shower to 2 inches.
2) Lighting – Use recessed light fixtures throughout your ceiling to brighten up the room. You can also use one (or two) in your shower with the proper shower trim. Install a dimmer switch so you can adjust the lights as per your needs – bright light for makeup or shaving and dim lights for bathing.
3) Wall hung toilets – These fixtures are quite popular and don’t break the bank these days. These floor mounted units are popular for saving a lot of space in your bathroom as the tank is hidden behind the wall.
4) Drawer storage – Install vanity with drawers storage instead of doors. Drawers are easy to organize and access. In addition to it, drawers offer more space to store your items.
5) Shower or tub? – Planning to install a bathtub in your bathroom? Ask yourself how many baths you take a year. Plan wisely as a bathtub can cost you more in comparison to shower. If you’re living in a rented place, installing a bathtub in your rented apartment is not a nice idea.
6) Shower floors – Make sure that you choose smaller tiles for your bathroom floor. Larger tiles are difficult to slope properly. Moreover, they’ll be slipperier because the grout lines are further apart. Smaller tiles, whether textured or not, are less slippery and you can find endless options in them.
