The bathroom has traditionally served as a utilitarian space. Sink, shower, and toilet—those are all you need. But are they really?

There is no shame in wanting every part of your house to radiate style, comfort, and ease—the bathroom included. As one of the most used spaces in a home, it undoubtedly deserves an upgrade to luxury.

You can attain your dream jo in no time with the right amount of bathroom renovations. But if you aren’t sure where to start, then consider this list of essential features our HomeStyle Renovations team has compiled for your convenience.

New Lighting Fixtures

You no doubt use the bathroom for changing, shaving, styling your hair, and applying makeup—activities that require perfect lighting, be it natural or artificial. And while a good window can serve your needs, it’s rendered useless come nighttime. 

Great lighting fixtures can easily pick up where the sun left off. Take the bathroom mirror as an example—you want to be able to properly see yourself in it, so consider installing recessed ceiling lights, hanging lights, or fitting sconces on either side of the mirror. 

Layers of light also make for a bathroom that is picture-perfect. By this, we mean adding all of the above-mentioned—lights in the ceiling, a few hanging down, and come mounted on the wall. Doing so ensures light is evenly distributed, giving the bathroom a good sense of warmth and depth.

Shower Bench

Stand-in showers are a given in most bathrooms, so why not spruce yours up with a bench? As simple as it sounds, a bench offers a number of uses:

• Serves as a seat for those with mobility issues.
• Gives you a place to relax during steam showers.
• Provides extra space for sponges and toiletries.
• Can double as a footrest—shaving will be much easier!

If your shower has limited space, you can easily opt for a narrow corner bench that will provide all the benefits without getting in your way.

His and Hers Sink

A double—or ‘his and hers’—the sink is a necessity in busy households. Of course, no one likes waiting around to use the bathroom for brushing their teeth or washing up. With a dual sink, two people can see to their routines at the same time. This means fewer arguments and less time spent asking your loved one, “are you done yet?”

Bathroom vanity 60 to 72 inches wide is the ideal size for double sinks, so ensure you have enough space before you start dreaming of this feature!

A Beautiful Bathtub

While showers can be quick and efficient, there is nothing like sinking into a nice, warm bath after a long day. Plus, bathtubs add an element of luxury that you just don’t get with your standard stand-in shower.

When picking a bathtub, you have numerous materials, designs, and sizes to choose from—so keep in mind the space you have available as you browse. Whether you wish for one to be freestanding or fitted, made of copper, cast-iron, or porcelain, a bathtub is sure to take your restroom to the next level.

Heated Floors

If comfort and luxury pervade your list of bathroom ideas, then look no further than heated flooring. Safe and easy to install, heated floors are not only energy efficient but require no maintenance, making them a wise investment for any bathroom—you will never have to tiptoe across cold tiles again!
