Some keys to renovate your bathroom
The bathroom is the home of relaxation and well-being par excellence. In order to make it a place in which you will like to spend long moments and take care of yourself, it may be necessary to do some work. But before embarking on a renovation project, it is useful to ask yourself some essential questions.
First of all, ask yourself if your pond is big enough or if you need to think about saving a few square meters. Also think about your future bathroom, and who will benefit from it: Are you alone, do you have a spouse or children?
If all your little family will have the use, choose a functional room, where the storage spaces are multiple. On the other hand, if you are alone or in a duo, why not indulge yourself and opt for equipment more focused on relaxation, sauna or jacuzzi?
Also establish the budget you have, this will allow the professional to whom you will address to more easily determine what he can offer you. A bathroom renovation is not done every year: your project must therefore be carefully considered.
Optimization of space
The bathroom is never the most spacious room in the house, but there are tricks to arrange it so that it looks wider than it actually is. To do this, you can use the vertical storage space. The ideal is also to keep a certain distance between the various elements so that you can circulate easily.
A shower or a bathtub?
When renovating, it can be difficult to integrate a shower tray into an already built room. The Italian shower is therefore the best alternative. Completely open and generally tiled, this model seduces with its practical appearance, as well as for the clean and design look that it offers to a bathroom.
However, if you have children, especially if they are still small, a bath is often a real plus. Note that you can also opt for a mixed model (a shower integrated in a bathtub), which is a
between two. On the washbasin side, the basin, which can be placed or embedded in a piece of furniture, is rather trendy. You will find it in porcelain, enamelled stoneware or glass, three timeless materials.
The importance of coatings and lighting
The walls must of course be able to withstand moisture: for this, the tiling is the solution of tranquility. If you want to look at painting, choose a bathroom-specific one so that the moisture does not crack it over time. For the floor, tiling is also a relevant choice because it is very resistant to wear, water and stains. Nevertheless, know that parquet, vinyl or PVC can represent other equally attractive options.
Regarding the lighting, it should not be too aggressive, so as to adapt to the atmosphere of the room. A chandelier or a ceiling light will become the main source of light, while wall sconces can bring a touch of more accessory light. Lighting your mirror is also imperative: the projected light should be flattering and illuminate your face.
If you do not have a toilet room, you will have to put them in your bathroom. To integrate them while maintaining a minimum of privacy, you can use a partition or a wall that will judiciously separate your space.
