A bathroom renovation may become necessary after wall or water damage, or you might want to freshen the space and improve functionality. Functional bathrooms complement your natural routine and provide the necessities for maintaining good hygiene. Seven Valley Home Renovations is a full-service home renovation company that specializes in custom bathroom remodeling. Here are some tips for creating a more functional space when remodeling your bathroom:
Assess the Current Layout
Creating a functional bathroom starts with understanding your lifestyle and needs. Evaluate your daily routines and habits. Your shower might need extra shelving for products, or your vanity may require additional storage for toiletries. Determine whether you need more counter space to get ready or if a dual-sink setup would make mornings smoother for multiple users. Our needs tend to change as we age, so adding some accessibility features might be helpful. Seven Valley Home Renovation helps you identify your needs during our preconstruction phase, where the project design and specifications are handled.
Install Functional Pieces
Many bathroom pieces come in options to suit different lifestyles, such as toilets with elongated bowls or different heights, ceiling-mounted shower heads, and touchless faucets. Bathtubs also offer a range of sizes, heights, and accessibility-friendly features. Adding a vanity with a cabinet adds storage to even small half-bathrooms. Our in-house designers are skilled at choosing pieces that fit your style, needs, and budget.
Maximize Wall Space
Utilizing vertical space helps add storage and frees up floor space, making it easier to move around and organize your toiletries. Floating shelves, mounted cabinets, and towel racks or hooks are all options that come in many different sizes and styles. Options like a built-in medicine cabinet or corner sink also help free up walls and storage space for other items. Seven Valley Home Renovation works with you to create the optimal layout for your remodel and completes any of the necessary plumbing relocation and installation.
Customize the Lighting
Lighting plays a central role in bathroom remodeling, as it impacts both the functionality and ambiance of the space. Proper lighting enhances visibility for tasks like shaving, applying makeup, or grooming. Natural lighting can be maximized through skylights and windows. Adding task lighting to the right places can make it easier to get ready at any time of day without heavy shadows or becoming backlit. Our designers will work with you to find ways to add lighting where you need it.
Add Useful Fixtures
The right bathroom fixtures help you accomplish your daily tasks and reduce clutter. A towel bar with swinging arms, a glass shower door, or a toilet paper holder with a built-in shelf might be useful. Instead of a countertop magnifying mirror, have a retractable one installed to free up counter space. Custom designs are our specialty, so we’ll help plan and install options that make your bathroom uniquely yours.
Incorporate Safety Features
Adding safety features during your bathroom remodel can make it safe and functional for years. Possibilities include grab bars, safety glass, and non-slip flooring. Barrier-free shower entries are another feature that can help prevent tripping. Having these installed may offer more security than temporary, removable versions that have the potential to slip or move.
