How to Update Your Bathroom in 2016
Updating a bathroom can change the entire look and feel of a home. Bathroom renovations and improvements are also a good way to add more value to your home. Here are some modern ways to update your bathroom in 2016.
Custom Bathroom Vanities
A custom vanity can make a bathroom more space efficient and aesthetically pleasing. Custom bathroom vanities can be made of a variety of woods, glass, or other materials. Go with something that suits your needs.
Replace Outdated Lighting Fixtures
What once looked good in the 80’s or 90’s might be looking pretty rough by now. This doesn’t necessarily mean the whole fixture needs to go, but new shades and covers for lighting can make a huge difference. A couple of stained glass shades might be less than $100 and add real elegance.
Update Faucets And Shower Heads
There are many different types and finishes of shower heads and faucets. An aged bronze theme replacing shiny silver fixtures adds old world and vintage charm. Old shower heads and tub faucets can be pitted and look worn out over time. If you have a high-quality fixture in place that is still working well but looks rough, there are kits that can be purchased that allows for the external parts of your waterworks to be replaced while the plumbing stays in place.
Mirrors
A great mirror helps a bathroom appear brighter and larger. A full-length mirror on the back of the door in a beautiful frame makes getting dressed easier. Well mirrored glass is not as expensive as many people think. In fact, the frame is what can make the price increase. Of course, custom mirrors with etching or very elaborate framework will cost more but add interesting detail.
Floor Coverings
Old and outdated rugs and bathmats need to go. A high-quality bathmat will help protect your floor more and won’t bunch up or contribute to slipping. Custom sized bathmats are also available if your space is unique.
Ditch The Old Shower Curtain
Custom shower doors are nice and mean you never have to deal with curtain replacement or maintenance again. Glass doors add elegance and light to a shower as well. If you still need a shower curtain, make sure to replace it once in a while.
