When we first moved into our house, it hadn’t been touched since the 50’s. The kitchen was pretty much one of the worst rooms in the house, followed closely by the bathroom. The pea green carpet was the highlight, I must say. So those were the first rooms to get renovated, and I’m so happy with how we have them now. I think when people look around a house to buy, those are the rooms that they don’t want to have to do much work to. It can be expensive to renovate a whole bathroom, for example. So you might just want to make a few changes to your existing bathroom, rather than replace the whole space. Getting some advice from a plumber can help too, if you’re looking to do something bigger. It might be worth looking for a plumber near Pasadena if you’re local. Here are a few tips for renovating or updating.
Flooring
One of the best ways to change the look of a room is to make a change to the flooring. Depending on the type that you choose, it doesn’t even have to cost a lot. For a bathroom, the flooring needs to be durable and waterproof. Carpet is pretty much the worst choice ever! Stone tiles, marble or ceramic tiles are all great options they are durable and water-resistant. Bathrooms are usually on the small side, compared to bedrooms, so it is a good idea to keep the colours light and bright. Lighter coloured flooring will make the room look bigger and more spacious. Darker floor tiles will shrink the room. They also show more watermarks too.
You could choose hardwood flooring in a bathroom, as long as it is well sealed. UK Flooring has a wide range of hardwood flooring that you could look at, to decide what you like. They are good to add a natural warmth, which tiles often don’t have. So if you went for tiles, you could think about getting some underfloor heating. We had this, though and then it stopped working. As it was under tiles, it meant that it couldn’t be fixed without replacing all the tiles. So just something to think about.
Mirrors
As I have said, bathrooms are quite often the smallest room in the house. Mirrors are amazing to make the room look bigger and brighter, so work well for a complete bathroom renovation in Montreal. They reflect the light and add some sparkle. So adding a new stylish mirror will make such a difference. In my opinion, I think that one, large mirror over the sink area, looks better than several small mirrors dotted around the room. It depends on the style of the room you have, but the more ornate, the better.
Lighting
If you have got a large, fancy mirror then you need some quality lighting to make it sparkle. Spotlights are a great option for bathrooms, as it means that the light is equally spread throughout the room. Some thing like a pendant light might work, as long as there is some other lighting in the room too. A strip light over the mirror might work, as well as a few more spotlights in the bath or shower area. Wall lighting is a good option for around the mirror, so that you can get lighting without shadows. Perfect for when you are using the mirror for applying makeup or other beautifying.
Consider a Large Shower Over a Bath
If you have kids, a bath is pretty much a must. If you don’t, or have an en suite that you could convert, a large shower might be a good option. Having a wet room that you don’t have to ‘step’ into is super stylish at the moment. One day when we have our own separate bathroom, I want to have a wet room. I have only enjoyed them in hotels thus far, and I think they are fab. A large waterfall shower head is a must too. Again, super stylish for a modern looking bathroom.
Add Elements of Luxury
If you have got space, it would be amazing to have a dressing table in the bathroom too. Though I am sure, that is more of the exception rather than the rule! If you can add flowers or plants, it makes the room look more exotic or tropical. Check for the type of plants that thrive in moist conditions, though. You could add shelving for towels, so it is set out like a spa. Something like an old wine rack works wonders for that; it looks so striking on the wall.
Choose Stylish Fixtures
If you want to make some changes, how about making the bath a feature and getting a claw-foot, freestanding bath? Would a pedestal vanity work in the bathroom you have? Features like this are a little more unusual but can look so good.

My parents have literally just had their bathroom renovated, and I can agree with your points, I helped them choose the colours so we went with light grey tiles for that contemporary look, and one large mirror above the sink – definitely better than lots of little mirrors! x

Choosing a floor that waterproof is a great tip. It will save money if you don’t have to worry about potential water damage. A professional will be able to evaluate your basement to make sure that it is waterproofed effectively.

Awesome tips, Rebecca! I absolutely agree on lighting and mirrors. I personally prefer having one large mirror installed rather than spreading out small ones, it just adds more depth in the whole space.
A new floor in the bathroom can really revitalize an otherwise forgotten space. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great looking bathroom! I’m a big fan of the tile and the consistency with that look and the tile in the shower.

Renovating a house can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to the kitchen and bathroom. However, with the right tips and advice, it can be an exciting experience. One of the best ways to change the look of a bathroom is to update the flooring. Stone, marble, or ceramic tiles are durable and water-resistant options, while hardwood flooring can add warmth if well-sealed. Mirrors are a fantastic way to make a bathroom look bigger and brighter, and ornate, large mirrors work best. Good lighting is also essential, with spotlights or strip lights over the mirror being popular choices. Finally, adding elements of luxury, such as a dressing table, plants, or a claw-foot, freestanding bath, can make the space feel like a spa.
