Bathroom Renovation Tips, Trends, and Finding the Right Plumber by Geoff Rae A bathroom renovation can breathe new life into your home, making it both functional and stylish. Before diving into the renovation, establish a clear plan. Consider your budget, timeline, and specific needs. Think about whether you need more storage or if it’s time to upgrade your fixtures. Determining your priorities early on will help keep the project on track, though leaving some wiggle room for unexpected expenses is wise. Modern bathroom design focuses on creating a spa-like experience. Freestanding bathtubs are becoming increasingly popular, making a statement while offering a luxurious soak. Walk- in showers with sleek, frameless glass enclosures and rainfall showerheads are also trending, combining style with functionality. Smart technology is making its way into the bathroom, with touchless faucets, heated floors, and smart mirrors all enhancing the experience. Incorporating natural materials like stone, wood, and greenery can create a calming, nature-inspired space. At the same time, bold tiles and patterns are adding character, with homeowners embracing unique tile shapes, colours, and designs. When selecting fixtures, consider durability, style, and water efficiency. Water-efficient products are a wise choice, as they reduce water usage without compromising performance. Choose timeless designs that won’t quickly go out of fashion, ensuring your bathroom remains stylish for years. Storage is essential, especially in smaller bathrooms. Floating vanities, built-in shelves, and recessed medicine cabinets can help

keep essentials organized and within reach. Custom cabinetry can be tailored to your specific needs, making the most of every inch of space. Good lighting is also critical to the bathroom’s ambiance. A mix of tasks, accents, and ambient lighting can help create a well-lit and welcoming space. Dimmers are a great addition, allowing you to adjust the lighting to suit your mood, whether you’re relaxing in the bath or softly illuminating the room at night. Finally,choosingtherightplumberiscrucialforasuccessfulrenovation. Ensure the plumber is licensed, insured, and has a good reputation by checking credentials, asking for references, or reading online reviews. It’s also wise to get multiple quotes from different plumbers to compare prices and services. Experience is key, so make sure the plumber you choose has handled bathroom renovations similar to yours. A good plumber should also offer a warranty on both labour and parts, providing peace of mind that the job will be done right.
