How To Transform Your Old Bathroom Into A Refreshing and Beautiful One
A great bathroom is the difference between being adequately comfortable in your personal time, and being downright luxurious.

Every home as a few basic avenues for massive improvement. There’s the kitchen, there’s the yard, the entertainment center, and the bathroom. But out of all of those options, the bathroom seems to get the least amount of attention. Having a great bathroom is the difference between being adequately comfortable in your personal time, and being downright luxurious. Now, between the two, who wouldn’t want a touch of extra class and taste to make those minutes you spend in there absolutely perfect?
Plan It Out
The first thing you need is a plan. Gather as much information as possible from as many sources you can. Look at magazines from your favorite style homes and match the details to fit your own. Don’t have a giant 220 square foot bath space? That’s absolutely fine. There is more to a theme than just copy pasting from a magazine.
Draw out some floor plans and see what fits in the space that you have. Take into consideration plumbing and the kind of tiles and fixtures you’d want in place of what you already have. Painting an adequate picture will save you a whole lot of time down the line when it comes to the actual design and procurement stages.
Hire A Local Professional
Unless you’ve got a lot of time and some good technical know-how, hiring a professional to help you out is probably the best thing you can do. Granted that you have accurate and detailed plans already laid out in the plans, a professional team can get those ideas from the paper to the space. It’s a great idea to work locally as well. Sure, you may be tempted to go out online and go with the biggest name you can find. But chances are they don’t know the area better than the good people in your own city.
Your best bet is going to find a bathroom remodeler that already has established contacts with suppliers and delivery chains. It may seem a bit redundant, but non-local companies will use back channels to get your business. Predatory referral fees and kickbacks are a real thing in any industry. Play it safe and find professionals in your own area.
Fill It With Cool Stuff
After you’ve laid out the plans, got the work going, your last step is to fill it with the fun things that inspire joy and a bit of giddiness. One suggestion is a cool toilet. Yes, it may sound new to many Western readers, but smart toilets are all the rage across the world. Imagine a toilet that has a built in bidet, a dryer, plays your favorite music, and even works through voice activation. You can literally sit, talk, stand, and be on your way, all in a few seconds. You can even have a smart bathtub installed that regulates temperature and incorporates chroma and aromatherapy. This is really your chance to play around and have fun with your bathroom. Anything is possible.
And there you have it! These may be just a quick guide, but knowing what you can do and how to conduct your business is a prime way to avoid headaches in the future. It’s as simple as mapping things out, finding local professionals who you can work with, and adding in all the cool tech or homey features you love.
