If you’re confused by all the bathroom remodeling options, you’re not alone. There are so many new gadgets, faucet finishes and tile options that the choices are almost endless. Here’s a look at some hot trends to add into your next remodeling project.

Remodeling Tips 

Sleek metals – whether it’s a satin nickel faucet or a shiny stainless steel sink or wall tile, metal is in. The look can be very contemporary or a little Old World (with a hammered look on the wall tile, for example). Ask your tile contractor to show you some samples.

Bright colors – Paint colors have gone from boring neutrals to warm seinnas, sages or even burnt oranges. Yes, that’s right – in the bathroom.

Remodel your ceiling – Many of today’s bathroom remodeling projects include adding color on the ceiling. Instead of flat white, try a cream, light blue or even pale yellow. The color helps bring the design full circle – and draws attention upward. Ask your painting contractor to show you some popular color schemes.

Luxury shower items – You don’t have to spend a fortune on remodeling to get a fun water jet in the shower. There are many handheld sprays for less than $200 with pulsating jets and 5 to 10 water pressure options. Spend a little more – perhaps $400 or so – and get a wall mounted spray or a rainshower effect.

Remodeling Contractors Know!

Ask any bathroom remodeling contractors and they’ll confirm that the bathroom has turned into a luxury spa-like environment. The good news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a few nice features. It just takes the right contractor and a little creativity.
