Make your new bathroom luxurious, as well as modern.
Converting your dingy old bathroom into something new and modern can increase the value of your home, as well as the quality of your daily life. Bathroom remodels require a considerable investment and careful planning. When you're modernizing your bathroom, choose finishes and fixtures that are clean and elegant. Your flooring selection, vanity and backsplash materials should work together to create an overall sense of luxury and sophistication.
Instructions
1. Remove your tub, toilet, vanity and flooring. Strip down to the drywall and subfloor.
2. Install modern fixtures with features you didn't have in your old bathroom. Consider a two-person shower or a soaking tub. Classic white porcelain finishes look clean and modern. Select hardware with a brushed nickel or chrome finish.
3. Select a contemporary vanity with a granite or marble top. If your budget doesn't have room for marble, consider tile squares. Use tile squares for your backsplash, or go ultracontemporary with recycled glass tiles. Also consider glass tiles for your shower.
4. Paint the walls a cool, neutral shade that complements your tile and countetop. Consider using paint specially formulated for bathrooms to minimize any moisture problems.
5. Hang light fixtures that evenly illuminate the surfaces of your modern bath. Choose fixtures with finishes that match your hardware for a consistent look. Light the vanity area with wall sconces or a bar light. Add contemporary recessed lighting above the shower.
