Does your Upland, California bathroom need a make-over?
Are you thinking of a bathroom make-over for your Upland, California or surrounding home, but not sure where to start? If you are an avid viewer of popular home improvement shows like HGTV’s FLIP or FLOP or FIXER UPPER, (who doesn’t love a good home improvement binge-watch session ?!!!) you’ve likely seen lots of helpful tips for adding toilet closets, double vanity’s and hot tubs in larger, more spacious bathrooms, but what about remodeling smaller bathroom spaces? If you are looking for simple home improvement ideas for your not-so-large bathroom, we’ve got you covered!
Simple Bathroom Design Ideas for Smaller Spaces
Floorplan: Follow the Flow
Unless your bathroom’s floor plan is unworkable, it’s usually a good idea to keep the layout you currently have. While moving plumbing and fixtures can be done, it can be pricey. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun and get creative with your use of space! Consider adding a smaller free-standing bathtub or take out the tub and replace it with a simple standing shower. Need storage space? A vanity provides storage and looks great. Or add a free-standing sink if you are a fan of a more minimal look.
Refurbish & Refinish
Creating the perfect bathroom sanctuary doesn’t mean you have to start over. Determine what aspects of the bathroom you like and want to keep or change slightly, and start there. If you have a great vanity that’s just a little out-dated or you don’t like the color, consider a new stain or paint it rather than replacing it. Keeping some of the your current bathroom fixtures will leave room in your budget for the things you really want to do such as adding that cute little free-standing soaker tub.
Refresh Your Flooring
Is your bathroom flooring looking worse for wear? Be careful when you select your new flooring as it will be getting wet. In terms of waterproof options, Ceramic tile is usually a good choice. Just make sure it is properly sealed with grout.
Lighten & Brighten Your Space
The right lighting can really brighten up your bathroom when you need it to or set the mood when you’re looking for a more relaxing vibe, so consider more than one lighting fixture. Overhead lighting is great, but it can be too bright in the middle of the night and glaring when you’re soaking in the tub.
