Bathroom Remodel

Your bathroom is the one room of the house that everyone uses every day. Whether it's for a quick visit or a long soak in the tub, the bathroom should be a place to recharge. Touch-ups and remodeling aren't just occasional necessities. They're smart investments. You can set a relaxing mood in the bathroom on any budget, with major renovations or just a light cosmetic touch-up.

Hardware upgrades

New fixtures and hardware represent the biggest investment in your bathroom but also offer the best returns. As well as increasing the value of your home, new bathroom fixtures can save on utility bills through increased water and energy efficiency. Because they're a major investment, their style should anchor the room's décor and be versatile enough to complement any small changes you make in the future. In terms of finishes, chrome hardware is always a classic. Trending styles include matte black, rubbed bronze, and satin brass. Brushed nickel is not as ubiquitous as it was a few years ago, but it's holding steady.

Smart storage in small spaces

Because they're usually the smallest rooms in the house, bathrooms require a creative approach to organization. For this reason, wall-mounted shelves and storage that makes use of vertical space work especially well in bathrooms. These can be easily painted or switched out if you want to change your décor in the future.

Get on solid footing

In a high-traffic, high-moisture area like the bathroom, floors get dirtier and wear out faster than in other parts of the house. You may want to replace them for simple aesthetic reasons or as part of a larger bathroom remodeling project. Fortunately, bathrooms aren't as large as other rooms in the house, so replacing them doesn't require a big budget.

If you want durable flooring that lends a touch of elegance to your bathroom, consider investing in stone or tile flooring. Stone Source offers to take the hassle out of DIY and goes well beyond flooring to include counter slabs, cabinets, paint colors, and more. Marble flooring is timeless, but on-trend homeowners may be interested in newer styles incorporating bold geometric patterns, metallic finishes, three-dimensional surfaces, matte finishes, and textural surfaces.

Refine your palette

A new color scheme is probably the simplest and most affordable way to give your bathroom a glow-up. Want maximalist glam? Consider a bold wall color with metal or jewel-tone organizers. Want a tranquil sanctuary? Try a pale, cool wall color with organic, minimalist accessories. Towels, shower curtains, and window treatments can also be swapped out to easily create a new look. A professional painting contractor like Five Star Painting can help you select the best color and get all those hard-to-reach corners of the bathroom.
