Make Plans to Upgrade the Bathroom
Now is the perfect time to plan ahead for projects in the coming year. For homeowners, that means getting a budget together and collaborating on ideas to improve the value and functionality of their homes. No room is used more than the bathrooms in the home, and when it comes to resale value, investing in bathroom upgrades is a great place to spend money.
Here are some ideas from local bathroom remodeling professionals so homeowners can upgrade their spaces according to their needs and budgets.
Replace the Showerhead
Not everyone has the budget to renovate an entire bathroom down to the studs every few years. More realistically, most homeowners have to plan for smaller projects to keep their spaces fresh and save the bigger projects for bigger occasions. One of the cheapest and easiest ways to breathe new life into a space that has lost its appeal is to replace the shower head. There are many different types of shower heads to choose from in a range of costs, styles, and finishes. With a showerhead replacement, homeowners can enjoy features like:
- Calming rain showerheads
- Relaxing massaging showerheads
- Convenient and flexible handheld showerheads
- Bluetooth capabilities for relaxing music or soundscapes
- LED lighting for better ambiance
- Low-flow showerheads for reducing water usage and saving on water bills
Get New Vanities and Sinks
Bathrooms are specialized spaces with many features. When a bathroom is being designed and constructed, there are many opportunities to personalize the style of the space. As the bathroom ages, some of these may look outdated. Instead of a total renovation, a project that can drastically change the look and function of a bathroom is to install a new bathroom vanity, sink, and faucet.
Vanities and sinks are central focal points in a bathroom. When they are old, they can make the space feel outdated, but when they are replaced, they can also make it feel new and refreshed. There are many ways to customize a bathroom, including choosing a vanity that fits the style and storage functionality needed, a functional and stylish bathroom sink, and a new bathroom faucet with the desired function, style, and finish.
Before replacing bathroom vanities and the corresponding faucets and sinks, take some time to address the functionality of the space. This is a great opportunity to add more counter space, more storage, or double vanities and sinks for shared bathrooms.
Install a Bathtub
The bathtub is another feature in a bathroom that, when added, can improve functionality and relaxation. There are many bathtub styles to choose from depending on a household's needs and the size of a bathroom, such as:
- Freestanding bathtub
- Jetted bathtub
- Drop-in bathtub
- Alcove bathtub
- Shower and tub combo
A bathtub installation can be beneficial not just for functionality and style but also for the health benefits that it can provide, including better sleep, reduced blood pressure, relief from cold and flu symptoms, and more.
