Our bathrooms are more than just a functional space – it’s where we go to relax and even enjoy some indulgence. Kitting it out to transform it into the restful sanctuary you deserve has practical, aesthetic and financial benefits.

Bathroom renovations in particular can add value to your property, which helps if the time ever comes to sell. 

With so many options available, knowing where to start with your design can be tricky. Thankfully, bathroom showrooms can give you all the inspiration you need, alongside interior magazines. 

Here are some effective ways to improve your bathroom space – it doesn’t need to cost you an arm or a leg either!

Upgrade Your Fixtures and Fittings

It’s the little details that can change the look and feel of your space. Replacing outdated taps with sleek modern alternatives or rustic metals is a simple but effective way of transforming your bathroom. New handles on cabinets and drawers can also enhance your chosen style. 

Amp up the comfort by swapping out your shower head for a luxurious rainfall model. Or, install a heated radiator to warm your towels and have them waiting for you after your shower. 

Add Storage Solutions 

Clutter doesn’t translate to a peaceful mind or setting to unwind. Letting your cosmetics and shampoo build up on your surfaces can quickly make your bathroom feel cramped and chaotic. Incorporating clever storage solutions can help you maximise space and create a more organised environment. 

Think about installing built-in shelves, a vanity unit with plenty of drawers or a wall-mounted storage rack. These additions can be both functional and pleasing to look at. Over-the-door organisers and corner shelves are also excellent options for making use of often-wasted vertical space. 

Enhance with New Flooring and Tiles

Flooring and tiles can significantly impact the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. If you’re looking to make a bold statement, install large-format tiles with a striking pattern or colour. For a more understated style, opt for neutral tones and subtle textures like vinyl and organic wood. 

You don’t have to overspend on your flooring but it’s important to choose durable options. Bathrooms get a lot of foot traffic, so you don’t want to have to keep replacing your flooring because it becomes cracked or discoloured. 

Incorporate Smart Technology

Let the convenience and practicality of smart technology wash over your bathroom. Think smart mirrors with integrated lighting, Bluetooth connectivity and even a defogging function. 

App-controlled thermostats can help you maintain the perfect temperature, while voice-activated speakers mean you can enjoy your favourite tunes while using the facilities. For a touch of luxury, underfloor heating can add an extra touch of luxury.
