Updating your bathroom can improve your home's value and make your bathroom a more attractive part of your house. This kind of upgrade can be especially valuable if it's been a long time since you've been able to make cosmetic or functional improvements to your bathroom.
It's best if you can update your bathroom every 20 years or so, because bathroom fixtures and colors can go out of style. If it's been two decades or more since you made changes to your bathroom, here are some changes you can make that can make a difference.
Shower Installation
Bathtubs were all the rage just a few decades ago, but now showers are much more in style. You can leave your bathtub in place if you still want it, but installing a separate shower can improve your bathroom's functionality. To install a shower, work with a qualified contractor. This isn't an easy home improvement to make, and it's important to work with a professional that will follow building codes and do the work right.
Curbless showers or low-curb showers are best, because they're useful for aging in place. Curbless showers make bathing easier, and can help ensure that you'll be able to live independently in your older years.
Bath to Shower Conversion
If you think you no longer need a bathtub in your home, another way to add value to your bathroom is to take out your bathtub and convert it to a shower. Bath to shower conversions are convenient if you don't have room to install a separate shower, but would like to have a curbless shower in your bathroom.
At Comfort Shower and Bath, we can install a new curbless shower or convert your bathtub to a shower. Learn more about how we can help with this project by contacting us for a free consultation.
DIY Your Bathroom Color
Just a few years ago, most homeowners wanted to paint their bathrooms gray. Today, many homeowners have realized that bathrooms can be painted in vibrant, bold colors and still be stylish.
You don't have to hire a contractor to change your bathroom color - simply repaint your bathroom in the color of your choice and upgrade your accessories like towels and decorations.
Install Bathroom Accents and Accessories
Choose a bathroom theme that you like, such as "the beach" or "starfish." Then, install decor that lines up with this theme. Giving your bathroom a theme can make decorating the space easier, by narrowing down your decor choices.
