Thinking of Remodeling Your Bathroom? Read This First

When you are looking to remodel your bathroom, you may first think of the obvious steps like upgrading your shower head or replacing the toilet. However, the Crestwood Contracting team wants to make sure their clients in Yonkers, Bronxville, and Eastchester are aware of some of the hidden and less known improvements that can drastically make a difference in their full and half bathrooms.

Bathroom Lighting Matters

In a room where you get yourself prepared for the day ahead, being able to adequately see yourself is a must in a space like the bathroom. Dim and unlit bathrooms tend to not only result in its owners having a hard time getting ready, but it can also greatly effect someone's mood in the beginning of their day. Adding decorative sconces or lighting around the bathroom mirrors can significantly assist with the morning and night routine processes. Natural light is the optimal way to brighten a room, and if there are ways to incorporate it through windows and skylights, that would be strongly recommended.

Storage Meeting Style

One way to completely ruin the aesthetic in a bathroom is when products and sanitary items begin to clutter counter tops and shelving. Installing an abundance of storage can help hide these items and give off the put together and organized look that creates a chic looking bathroom. Under sink cabinets and closets in bathroom remodeling projects are a great way to disguise places to store towels and other wash room items. 

Waterproof the Space

Unlike other rooms in a house, with a bathroom remodeling project you must consciously make material decisions knowing that the space is subject to experience moisture and water. Creating surfaces that can handle these conditions can drastically decrease any maintenance or repairs necessary due to leaks or splashes. Another important aspect in the bathroom for condensation and moisture is making sure to install proper ventilation. With high tech ventilation strategies, you can lower the moisture content which will eliminate the risk for mold and other risks that can effect your health.
