Home Remodeling Projects: Master Bathroom

You've made your New Year's resolutions for 2015, but now it's time to implement and follow them through. If your plan for the year is to do some home remodeling projects  to bring your home up to date with a new style that matches your personality then you have many options and rooms to consider. We are going to start off this series by discussing a remodeling project that will make a big impact on the value of your home, the master bathroom. Any upgrades that you make to your bathroom are sure to provide a difference in your daily routine. Here are a few ideas to consider when doing a bathroom remodel this year:

Add Storage

One of the biggest complaints that homeowners have is lack of storage space. Make sure that you provide a variety of storage options, whether being cabinetry, shelving, cubbies, hidden storage, carts or a linen closet to help promote organization. Cabinetry with glass fronts will add to the character of your bathroom. If you are simply performing a makeover of your existing storage consider adding molding, glass inserts, new knobs and pulls, and even under cabinet lighting for a more modern updated look.

New Flooring

The flooring within your bathroom can get grimy, especially if you still have basic linoleum in your home. Removing your flooring and installing new ceramic tile is a good choice that will completely transform the feel of your space. Stay with natural tones in order to keep your room light and airy.

Updated Fixtures

Switch out your outdated fixtures for a new style and color. Oil rubbed bronze or satin nickel both make a statement in a nicely designed bathroom space. Splurge for a touch of luxury with your fixtures by going with a rainfall showerhead, body sprays or tech features such as music or aromatherapy lighting.

Go "Green"

Most likely your toilet is original to the house you live in. Many homeowners complete a bathroom remodel and never think to switch out the toilet. Look at upgrading to a new sleek water saving model that will save you in the long run.

A Touch of Spa Luxury

Creating a relaxing spa environment for you may consist of adding a comfortable chair, using light tones, natural materials, dimmable lighting options, soft towels and robes, or including aromatherapy scented candles.

Glass

Many older homes either do not have enclosures around the tub calling for a curtain of sorts or those that do have a crackled glass door that can seem dingy in a dated bathroom. Talk to your general contractor about adding a new clear or tinted glass enclosure to your shower. Some of the latest trends only have partial enclosures for a more open feel when showering. By adding a clear glass it will give the illusion of adding more space to your bathroom.
