Bathroom Renovation: The Crucial Details for Style and Functionality

By Ava Brown, January 5, 2022

Your bathroom might not be the most important space in your home but there is no such thing as a comfortable abode without a fully-functioning bathroom. And a functional bathroom means a bathroom that will serve its purpose and is also made of quality materials that will withstand the test of time.

I suppose you’re here because you might be planning some sort of a renovation and you want to make sure you have your priorities right. Surely water, electricity, ventilation, etc. are some of the basics that you as a homeowner need to figure out before you begin any other aspect of your project. Beyond this point, the choice about your flooring, lighting and decorations are some of the most crucial and most long-term decisions you’re going to have to make.

Get Low-Maintenance and Beautiful Flooring with Bathroom Tile

Tile is considered a super durable and resilient material against humidity, staining and wear. This is what makes the stunning bathroom tiles options the perfect choice for your newest home-renovating project. Tile is hustle-free when it comes to maintenance and doesn’t need much except for the regular sweeping and moping, just like any other surface in your home. Ceramic tiles are versatile in their look, colour, patterns and overall style and are still one of the cheapest flooring solutions available.

Since it’s made out of raw materials like sand, glass and clay, tile is also considered an eco-friendly material. You can purchase a tile with a glazed protective layer on its surface and you get tile impervious to water damage and pesky stains. This is why tile, which is also a material that is naturally resistant to humidity, is so often used for bathrooms.

When you factor all of this in, having a quality floor is a major factor in getting a much better price on the market if you decide to resell your home at any point. Bath tile is especially suitable for redecorating because they come in such a wide range of styles and designs. You will be able to mix and match, anything from funky and abstract mosaic art to modern grey or black and white. There are also different sizes and shapes of tiles for you to pick from as well, so you have the option to decorate with anything from tiny bath tiles to large square slabs, or get creative and combine both.

Let There Be High-Quality Bathroom Light

While several studies show how much lightning can have a profound impact on your perception and mood, the ways to light up your room are an often neglected aspect of interior design and decorating. People sometimes don’t realise that what made them feel moody, tired or energised all of a sudden was exactly the angle, colour and intensity of the light in the space they just walked in.

Most people, and perhaps yourself included, love natural light, not only because a ray of sunshine is essential to our survival but also because everyone looks great under it. It’s the one source of light that cannot be fully recreated artificially. That’s why a room without windows is not a pleasant room to be in. So make sure you have enough light coming in and your mirror is placed in a way where your face is placed towards the side where the sun is shining through from most of the time.

And since bathroom mirrors are the first place you see ourselves in the morning and the last before you go to bed at night trying to set up your lightning in a way that mimics natural light is a really good idea for when the sun goes down. So, what lighting is closest to natural light? Stay away from compact fluorescent and fluorescent sources and stick to LED lighting, which is is available in many colours from the warmth of incandescent through all the sources including the blues. And here are some wonderful ideas on how to choose and implement pendant lights in your home, bathroom included.

Enjoy Every Single Moment Decorating

If you like to have high-quality things, then you must always have in mind the purpose you’re buying this thing for and if it’s falling in place with the style you already have going on. Here I’d like to give attention to the often forgotten yet super useful and highly functional detail of each bathroom. Bath curtains, soap dispenser, floor mat, toothbrush holder and more.

If you like to have high-quality things in one with a minimalist interior design then you must always have in mind the purpose you’re buying these things for. Ask yourself if it’s essential and of absolute necessity or does it only hold a decorative or artistic value, which is still just as valid as any other practical piece of furniture, gadget or tool. However, you’re the one who’s going to decide what’s a priority for best practicality but also your spending budget. And you should also take into consideration the style you already have going on.

Here I’d like to give attention to the often forgotten yet super useful and highly functional details of each bathroom. Bath curtains, soap dispenser, floor mat, toothbrush holder and more. These are the things we use every day and that’s why we need to make sure they make us happy when we look at them. They need to be made of quality material, are water-resistant and don’t tear or break easily because as you know, constant humidity in the air tends to complicate things in your bathroom.
