3 Primary Elements to Take Into Consideration
When Remodeling a Bathroom

• How do you use and how often do you visit your
  bathroom? Before starting a remodeling project,
  you must be able to answer these simple questions
  first. How you want your bathroom to look like
  after remodeling will greatly depend on your
  answers. More than the beauty and interior
  design, you must also consider the comfort and
  the overall experience you will have when using
  your bathroom.
• The bathroom is one of the most important
  personal spaces in your house. Aside from that,
  it also adds value to your home. That is why you
  have to make it as comfortable, well-kept clean,
  and beautiful as possible. Before you carry out a
  remodeling project, consider thinking about how
  you use your bathroom first. If you know how you
  use your personal space, you can as well know the
  key elements that you need to add when remodeling
  your bathroom. These key elements usually include
  sustainability, brightness, and maintenance.

1. Sustainability

• Today, having just a good looking bathroom is not
  enough. More than the beauty, your bathroom must
  also be sustainable and efficient. Considering
  the continuous increase in the energy rate, it is
  wise to make it sure that your bathroom has
  energy efficient solutions like conserving
  resources and saving water.

• One of the most popular energy-efficient
  solutions that you can consider is using low-flow
  showerheads and faucets instead of the
  traditional showerheads and faucets as well as
  using low-flow toilets instead of the usual
  toilet flush. These modern features will help you
  save water. Another energy efficient solution is
  to upgrade to a tankless water heater which only
  heats up water when needed.

2. Brightness

• The brightness can greatly affect your overall
  experience while you are staying inside your
  bathroom. If your bathroom lacks brightness, it
  can make the entire space look dull, less
  spacious, and uncomfortable. On the other hand,
  enough amount of brightness can make your
  bathroom feel comfortable, open and spacious. You
  can make use of the natural lighting by adding
  skylights or windows. You can also enhance the
  indoor lighting by using energy efficient
  fluorescent lamps as well as by painting your
  walls with bright colored paints and by
  installing light colored bathroom tiles.

If your bathroom is too cluttered, consider
removing some items to save some space. A
spacious, bright, and open space will not only
add value to your home, it will likewise make you
feel comfortable and happy every time you visit
your bathroom. Plus, it will make it easier for
you to appreciate its beauty and design style.

3. Maintenance

• When remodeling your bathroom, consider
  incorporating materials that are easy to clean
  and maintain. For instance, choose bathroom tiles
  that require less maintenance like porcelain
  tiles and quartz. Porcelain is naturally
  resistant to bacteria and mold and it is likewise
  very impervious to moisture while quartz is
  non-porous, durable, and strong.

• Instead of using cheaper and traditional faucets
  for your bathroom sink, opt for high quality and
  modern ones. Although modern faucet is a bit more
  expensive, it can stay beautiful for a longer
  period of time as compared to the traditional
  one. Plus, it also requires less time scrubbing
  and cleaning.
