There are certain things that many people forget to consider when they are having a bathroom renovation done. This attention to detail is something that is missed due to a focus on things like budget and the urgency to finish the project. However, if you are able to take the time and consider these design elements, you will be able to create a bathroom that is more comfortable, livable, and yours. Before you begin your project, our team here at Teka Kitchen has these tips for you to keep in mind.
Décor
This is usually an afterthought in the grand scheme of things when having a bathroom renovation done. But colours, accessories, and art are actually crucial design elements to not overlook. There is a potential for failure if the wrong design elements are not chosen properly. Think carefully about the colour scheme. It’s also important to not pick cheap décor. Pick things that are either important to you or inspiring.
Lighting
The light in your bathroom plays an important role for the overall look and feel. The fixtures themselves can make or break the aesthetic of a bathroom. However, the type of light available also is important. This can make you feel your best or make you feel bad. If you only have harsh fluorescence, these are actually the worst kind of light to have in your bathroom. Instead of a private sanctuary, you will feel like you are in an office. The best light to use is a soft light with warm tones. You can also add vanity mirror lights in order to completely illuminate you so you can see yourself at our best. Natural light is also a must in bathrooms, you don’t want to feel like you are hiding in a closet.
Bathtub Size
If you are short on space but love your baths, consider a tiny tub instead of a full sized one. Small versions can be offered by companies in their popular models specifically to be able to allow people with small bathrooms the luxury of having a tub still.
Toilet Placement
This is more important than you might think. Yes, take into consideration the aesthetics, but don’t make that the only factor when choosing the placement of your toilet. You can keep it tucked away from the bathroom door in order to have some privacy. Even though this is arguably the most important feature in a bathroom, you don’t need to see it.
Sink Height
This is actually a vital consideration that almost everyone overlooks to their dismay. Although this aspect seems like an insignificant thing, it’s actually much more important. Having a sink that is too short or too tall, even by a little bit, can be the bane of your existence. It can even cause back pain from compensating for the height difference. Before you purchase your vanity, make 100% sure that it is the right height for you.
Fresh Air
Bathrooms are easily susceptible to mildew and mold due to the humidity and dampness that naturally come from it. When designing your new bathroom, add multiple ways to get it dry. This can include some windows that can be opened and a vent/fan to draw out the moist air.
Sink Placement
If you want a trendy look while needing to maximize your space, consider a corner sink as opposed to a wall sink. This will give you more space while looking aesthetically pleasing and not getting it in the way.
