Planning and designing a bathroom remodel involves so many components that it’s easy to lose track of small yet important elements. In this blog, bathroom and kitchen remodeling services contractor Advantage Contracting discusses key bathroom design considerations that you should prioritize before delving into smaller details.
Sink Placement
Many homeowners don’t pay attention to the sink height until they start using them. Sink height can vary depending on the homeowner: a few inches can make it a daily annoyance, at the very least. Place it too low and you may develop back issues from using it every day. Make it a point to have your remodeler measure the sink height in proportion to your (and your family’s) own measurements.
Another bathroom sink consideration is its placement. Choosing a corner sink, either as complementary to the main sink or as a space-saving replacement, can help you maximize bathroom space. A good bathroom and kitchen remodeling services contractor can help you pick out a design that will work with your bathroom plans.
Lighting Fixtures
Bathrooms can benefit from tastefully designed lighting. The right kind of fixtures can set the mood for a relaxing bath and create a flattering look when using the vanity mirror. Some homeowners opt for a solitary white lightbulb, which, while it does the job of lighting the bathroom, makes it look more like you’re in an office bathroom.
Ventilation
You rarely hear people discuss exhaust fans in relation to bathroom remodeling, yet it is a critical bathroom component. It vents out not only odors but also excess moisture. Exhaust fans protect your bathroom from problems such as mold and mildew growth, paint blisters and discoloration.
In addition to exhaust fans, you need window styles that allow ventilation without sacrificing privacy and natural lighting. This makes fixed specialty windows and glass blocks the least ideal window styles, particularly if your bathroom can only accommodate one window.
