Modern Solutions for Your Bathroom Remodel

A bathroom remodel is probably the most popular home renovation project. This seemingly less significant but very important area of home can be used as a canvas for countless modern solutions across a variety of materials, styles and concepts. Here are some rounded design plans along a few important steps no renovator should miss.

Don’t miss the first step

You can hire an architect or interior designer to come up with the solution from start to finish, or you can tell them what you want. If you choose the latter, your first stop should be home improvement websites, blogs and image sharing platforms. Of, course you need to make sure that what you want can be done in your bathroom space. Hire a contractor to inspect the bathroom and determine the overall condition. They can take all the necessary measurements to give you a visual layout, as well as identify any potential problems and offer you the best possible solutions. Here, you should consider the position of windows and doors, fixtures and other structural matters.

Idea No1 – simple modern

With a simple mix of light brown and white, this design draws its inspiration from clean lines and geometric elements like an elongated hexagonal tub that acts as a focal point. Experience the morning bliss of a hot bath under large double window with all the body products sitting in simple but spacious over-under niches – for her and for him. This bathroom is a marriage of function and aesthetic where the number 2 rules the space – double window frame, double niches and double bowl sinks, each with its set of suspended drawers for plenty of storage space. The wall length mirror opposite of the windows creates an illusion of a bigger space. Visit thespruce.com to learn more about creating an impression of a larger bathroom.

Idea No2 – wood themed

Having wood and moisture in one place seems like a recipe for disaster, but thanks to modern technologies, this is no longer the case. Warmth, texture and authenticity of wood are hard to resist. Next to stone, it’s one of the most used natural elements in home décor. Imagine cosy hardwood non-slippery flooring under your feet as you step out of your teak soaking tub similar to those custom made ones that can be seen on pinterest.com, or brushing your teeth at white vessels sink inlaid in a bamboo countertop. By relying heavily on brown tones, this design creates a deep feel that matches well with the warm indirect lighting.

Idea No3 – maximum space

If you simply love large spaces, opt for a design that not only makes the most out of your square footage, but also furthers the expansive feel with its distinctive design. Large black tiles are used for luxurious flooring which only amplifies the tan monochrome of the walls. There are two vanities with a mosaic tile background that extends on to the middle section of white ceiling that houses cove lights. Two linen towers in the corners and a modern upholstered chair are the only furniture here, aside from a stately vintage-modern clawfoot tub.

Before you remodel…

If you are renovating your Sydney home, it would be wise to include renovating or replacing sewer pipes into your bathroom remodel budget. Many old homes in Sydney still have terracotta sewer pipes that may crack as tree roots tend to enshroud them completely over the years. Professional plumbers at pipeperfection.com.au can inspect your pipes using a fibre optic camera and tell you whether your pipes are damaged. If they are, include replacing them in your budget. This is one of the problems that won’t go away – it could just get worse if left unattended. If the problem with pipes occurs after the remodelling is through, you may have to lift up your new floor or worse, the bathroom elements.

A modern bathroom is much more than just a shower room so, there is plenty to consider and choose from once you set down to remodelling. Even better, today’s trends allow us to combine different aspects from various designs and create a truly unique bathroom.
