Have you been in your Kokomo, IN, home for a while, or perhaps you just purchased a fixer-upper? One common project homeowners take on is a bathroom remodel. It’s a great way to make better use of your available space, add some character, and increase the value of your house. Here are some tips from the team at Incredible Kitchens and Baths to get you started.
The Lighting
During a bathroom remodel, the sinks, tubs, and toilets usually get most of the focus. But one important aspect you should also consider is the lighting. Oftentimes, bathrooms are small and have at least one mirror. This can make it more difficult to have proper lighting. Carefully plan out the types of lighting and their spacing to ensure that your bathroom has flattering lighting and isn’t too bright or too dark.
The Outlets
Hairdryers, electric toothbrushes, rechargeable trimmers, or maybe even a speaker to listen to music while you get ready are all commonplace in today’s bathrooms. Another thing that can get overlooked when planning your remodel is the outlets. You’ll want to plan out beforehand how many outlets you need and where the most practical locations will be. If more than one person will be using the bathroom, take that into consideration as well. Here’s a bonus tip: an outlet located inside a medicine cabinet can be very handy.
The Storage
There are so many creative ways to make use of your space. When designing your bathroom, try your best to make the storage options feel like they are integrated into the layout and not an afterthought. Consider adding a recess in your shower wall to eliminate the need for a shower caddy, or placing shallow cabinets between the stud bays. Options such as these help you use the space effectively and prevent the need for additional purchases at the end of the remodel.
