A small bathroom in need of an upgrade is both an opportunity and a challenge. It’s an opportunity because you can make a big impact with a relatively small project, but also a challenge because it’s key to plan your space carefully to maximize functionality. At Straight Line Construction, we help people design and select materials for bathroom renovations every day. Here are our top project recommendations if you’re planning a DIY small bathroom remodel.
Replace or Upgrade to a Bathroom Vanity
If your bathroom is feeling outdated, replacing the vanity is an impactful way to freshen up the space while also ensuring you get the storage you need in your small bathroom. Whether you already have an existing vanity or just have a sink, this process is fairly straightforward and requires few tools. Adding a vanity with quality materials, like granite or quartz, will also increase the value of your home.
Update Your Fixtures
If you don’t want to install a new vanity, upgrading your fixtures is a great way to enhance your existing vanity. Changing out the faucet and replacing outdated knobs will infuse more style into your small bathroom with minimal investment.
Add New Flooring
Replacing your bathroom floor will upgrade your space, and provide an opportunity to create a cleaner, more modern look. Updating the flooring in a small bathroom requires less investment than in larger rooms, so this is also a smart way to upgrade your home without incurring a large cost. Marble, granite, travertine, or porcelain tiles are all beautiful choices that can withstand the moisture present in the bathroom. Learn more about these different flooring options for your DIY small bathroom remodel.
Enhance the Lighting
Vanity lighting is simple to replace, and is an easy way to infuse more of your personal style into your small bathroom. If your bathroom is dimly lit, this will also greatly improve functionality. Another modern option is to upgrade to a touch-activated LED mirror, creating an ultra-sleek look, eliminating the need for overhead vanity lighting, and adding functionality with the ability to adjust color temperature and brightness.
Add New Shower Tile
Beautiful tile makes a shower feel more inviting and comfortable. At Straight Line Construction, we offer a wide variety of porcelain tiles so that you can create the space you’ve been dreaming of. While adding or replacing shower tile is a larger undertaking than the previously mentioned projects, it’s definitely possible to do it yourself. For this project, you’ll want to give yourself a few days.
