6 Tips to Make Your Bathroom Ultra Cozy
The bathroom is a favorite spot of relaxation for many people. It’s where you cool off on a hot day and freshen up when you’re tired. This is the reason why more homeowners are making their baths cozier or more inviting. Transforming your bathroom into a place that you can retreat to after a long day is easy with these tips:
#1 Select Durable Flooring
In bathroom remodeling, the first thing you should prioritize is the surface material you’re standing on. Pick one that’s sturdy, has higher water tolerance and doesn’t cause you to slip. The last thing you want to happen, after all, is falling in your bathroom. When doing bathroom remodeling in Albuquerque, choose ceramic, stone or marble tiles for the flooring. These are durable and water-resistant, making them excellent choices for a bathroom.
#2 Choose a Comfortable Bathtub
A 60-inch tub works for most homeowners as it offers enough room to stretch out and provides a secure foothold. Check if the angled back and lip offer comfort and neck support. If you’re looking for a tub for two, check if there are slants at either end and taps in the middle. If there’s room for only a small tub, choose an extra-deep one.
Regarding comfortable bathtubs: you may also want to consider an aging-in-place plan for your project. Walk-in tubs are a great choice if you plan to age-proof your bath space. Not only are they comfortable, they’re also easier to get into. There is a lower chance of you slipping or tripping as you get in or out of the tub if it’s a walk-in.
Alternatively, a shower conversion may be what you need if an aging-in-place bath is on your list.
#3 Install Good Lighting
Remember that lighting can set the mood, so good lighting fixtures are imperative. On a more practical note, ample lighting is absolutely necessary when you’re doing a bathroom remodel. You decrease the risk of slipping. If you want to make your bath and enjoyable an safe place, then install good lighting. Combine halogen pot lights with wall sconces over or beside the mirror for lighting that doesn’t cast shadows. Remember to install dimmers if possible.
#4 Choose a Good Toilet
You don’t want to scrimp on your toilet. Choose a model with an elongated bowl and seat, as this is usually the most comfortable. This kind of toilet is also ideal for aging-in-place baths. Not only are they easier to sit on, they’re safer for your older people, too.
#5 Incorporate Some Luxury
If you have plenty of space to work with, create a haven for relaxation and privacy by creating a spa-like bathroom complete with a dressing room. Include a makeup vanity, some exercise equipment or even a television and a cozy chair upholstered in thick terry cloth. Hot tubs are also a good choice if you want to add much-needed luxury to your bath. Your bath space doesn’t necessarily need to be huge to incorporate a hot tub, though; just pick the right size tub.
#6 Build a Shower Area
Consider a shower conversion. Change your shower stall into an open-concept shower area to make you feel less confined and more relaxed. Switch to a high wall-mounted showerhead or a ceiling-mounted rain showerhead, or one that splashes less water to keep the area outside the shower dry. To ease the burden of maintenance, you can also ask Dreamstyle Remodeling to install a microbe-resistant shower enclosure to reduce cleaning and maintenance needs.
