Upgrades for a Bathroom Redo

During a bathroom remodel, every new addition should serve a purpose. If you proceed down the right path, you’ll walk away with a fantastic place to shower and bath.

Better Lighting

A bathroom should be cheerful and bright. If your bathroom appears dingy or dull while the lights are on, it’s time to upgrade your light sources. The winning formula for the lighting in a bathroom is a combination of soft and bright light. Soft lighting creates ambience in a bathroom, and bright lights make a bathroom more functional.

A Shower Upgrade

If you need a better shower, you could save big on this redo if you do the majority of the work yourself. However, keep in mind that this type of job will require demolition skills and plumbing skills. If you’re not equipped or fit for the job, there is another way to redo a shower on a budget. With hard work and dedication, it’s possible to make an old shower look like new. You can start by focusing on the tiles and the grout. If the grout on the walls in your shower are dingy, you don’t have to manually clean the grout with soapy water. You’ll save a lot of time if you stain the grout a darker color.

As for damaged tiles, if you have any, they can be repaired with a repair kit. A typical kit will cost around $20.

A New Showerhead

The quickest way to upgrade a shower is by replacing the standard showerhead with a detachable showerhead. You can do a lot with this upgrade, and you don’t need to hire to contractor or a plumber to install it.

Storage

There are many ways to add storage options to a bathroom, but only a few methods are practical. Storage solutions are supposed to help you conserve space; they are not supposed to take up space. If you don’t have a lot of real estate in your bathroom, just install a recessed medicine cabinet on the wall. A recessed medicine hides inside of a wall, so it will make your bathroom appear larger than it actually is.
