One of the biggest investments to make in your home is a bathroom remodel. It can improve your home’s resale value and ensure a comfortable bathing experience. There are certain aspects of the project you should carefully consider to get the best results — such as the bathroom layout.
Keep reading as DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Burlington County shares some do’s and don’ts to remember when deciding on your bathroom layout.
DO: Make the Most of Natural Lighting
One of the best ways to make your bathroom more appealing is by taking advantage of natural lighting. By placing a window strategically in your bathroom, you’ll have better visibility and a more relaxing ambiance. Typically, bathroom windows are near the vanity or bathtub. To maintain privacy, you can have your window installed high on the wall or use frosted or stained glass. You can also have it in any size, shape or design to fit your bathroom design.
DO: Consider the Three-in-a-Row Layout
If you’re uncertain about what kind of layout you want for your bathroom renovation, use the three-in-a-row layout as a basic concept. This layout involves placing the shower, toilet and sink in a row. Although it’s a simple layout, it proves to be efficient and practical — especially if you are considering plumbing. This layout also leaves enough space for other features and amenities, allowing you to improve your bathroom’s appeal and function.
DON’T: Forget to Fill Large, Empty Spaces
Although a spacious bathroom is great, leaving large, empty spaces can make it appear bare and unfinished. If your bathroom has excess space with no features or furniture, try filling up these areas with additional fixtures and fittings. You can add cabinets, counters or bathroom seating. However, remember to balance the elements in your bathroom. You want empty spaces to be filled but not to the point where the room feels too crowded.
DON’T: Forget Your Flooring
If you have a large bathroom, a change of level will allow you to create a more appealing layout. It can provide you with a stage for your centerpiece bath or solve plumbing issues. But if you have a smaller bathroom or aim to maximize your square footage, single-level, uninterrupted flooring works fine. It can even make the room feel bigger.
