Bathrooms are often the most neglected part of a home. They’re so tiny and not exactly the most exciting room to decorate, but it’s also one of the rooms you use every day. That makes it even more important to get right! Your bathroom is probably one of the first places people see when they visit your house, so making it look clean and updated will help make a good first impression on guests. Here are some tips for renovating and decorating your bathroom:

Consider if you need a bathtub or not

If your bathroom is small, it might be unwise to put in a bathtub. It would take up space that could be used for other things and make the room feel even smaller. On the other hand, if you have lots of space in your bathroom and want to maximize it, having a permanent place to soak can be very nice. Consider how much time would be spent using the tub and whether that’s something you’d use often enough to justify taking up valuable floor space.

Invest in quality materials

There are many things to consider when renovating a bathroom, but the most important is to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth out of every item that touches your walls and floors. If you can afford it (and we hope you can), try to invest in higher-end materials that will last longer than cheaper options. Not only will they look better, but they’ll also save you time and money over time as they require less maintenance and cleaning!

Before buying materials for a renovation project, do some research about how the product holds up over time—and then check it out for yourself.

Maximize storage space

To maximize storage space, you can use a corner cabinet to contain your bathroom essentials. If you don’t have room for a cabinet in the corner of your bathroom, install shelves instead. You can also install towel racks and hooks on the walls to hang things up.

One of the best ways to do this is by using a shower caddy (or two). A shower caddy will fit over your shower head, allowing easy access, and keeping everything organized at once. It’s also great for homeowners who enjoy travelling because it allows them to take their toiletries with them on trips or holidays without needing any additional luggage!

Consider your doorways

Consider the size of your bathroom doorways. Do you have an unusually large or small door? If you do, it’s important that this be considered in the design process. If your doorway is too small, you will struggle with moving items around; if it’s too big, there won’t be much room for decoration and accessories.

Keep in mind that bathroom doors usually open inwards: You don’t want anything blocking their path. Will they get in the way of something else?

Choose faucets and accessories that coordinate with your existing fixtures

You also want to choose faucets and accessories that coordinate with your existing fixtures. If you have a small sink, it might not be practical to use a large faucet, and vice versa. Also, keep in mind how easily your chosen fixtures can be cleaned. Your bathroom should look clean and organized at all times!

It’s also important to consider how easy the faucet will be to use—this is especially true if there are children or elderly people who will be using this space regularly. Make sure there are no sharp edges or anything that could cause injury if bumped into by accident.

Swap bulky vanity lighting for sconces

Sconces are a great option for replacing bulky vanity lights. Sconces are less bulky than vanity lights and can be placed on the wall or on the countertop. They provide a focal point in your bathroom, which is important when you’re trying to make your bathroom feel more spacious. You can choose from many different styles and materials, including glass, metal, and wood. If you want a clean look that isn’t too busy, consider using white sconces with simple shapes like cylinders or cones.
