Remodeling a bathroom brings enjoyment and increased home value. With so many possible remodeling projects to choose from, you can find a way to improve your bathroom that fits any budget. Read on to learn about some of the exciting projects you may want to start on your own bathroom.

Beautiful Lighting for Bathroom

Improving the lighting in your bathroom gives the illusion of a larger space, and creates a brighter, happier feeling. Lighting for bathroom projects can range from simple to extravagant. Here are a few ideas for bringing light for bathroom areas:

• Add recessed lighting in the ceiling.
• Hang a large bathroom mirror to bring light and make the room look larger.
• Improve bathing safety with tub or shower lighting.
• Install accent lamps to feature artwork or decorative items.
• Install a skylight or larger windows to bring sunshine and moonlight to your bathroom.

A New Toilet for Your Bathroom

Your toilet is one of the most important components of your bathroom. If your toilet is aging, uses unnecessary water or isn’t always reliable, consider replacing it. Putting in a new toilet can usually be done in less than a day’s work. Some state of the art toilet styles are:

• Bidet toilet
• Comfort height toilet
• Dual flush toilet
• Low flush toilet
• Pressure assisted toilet.

Walling off the area around the toilet to create privacy is a new bathroom decorating trend you may want to consider, as well.

Remodeling a Bathroom: Tubs and Showers

A sparkling tub or shower is a great addition when remodeling a bathroom. Depending on your situation and budget, you can:

• Install tub or shower liners over existing components
• Replace tubs and showers entirely
• Resurface to change color and create the appearance of a new tub or shower.

An Airy Feeling

Keeping your bathroom well ventilated is important for both your health and enjoyment. Controlling humidity will also extend the life of just about everything in your bathroom. Here are a few ideas to keep your bathroom air flowing:

• Fans with humidity sensors
• Remote fans
• Windows and skylights that open.

Sinks and Vanities

Replacing an outdated sink and vanity is a fairly inexpensive and simple project when remodeling a bathroom. A recent decorating trend is to create a “his and hers” bathroom by installing dual sinks and vanities. You can choose dramatic vessel sinks, or go for the more traditional look of basin sinks. If your bathroom is small, a pedestal sink can make the most of your available space.

Painting a Bathroom

One of the simplest things you can do to perk up your bathroom is to add a coat of fresh paint. Painting a bathroom can usually be completed in a day. Pale colors will make your bathroom look larger, while intense, saturated colors tend to make a space feel smaller and cozier. To help a small bathroom look bigger, try:

• Neutrals, such as almond or bone
• Pastels, pinks, blues, yellows or lavenders
• Whites.
