A well-designed bathroom is up to date with all the latest features and technologies that one needs. If you’re planning to renovate your homes anytime soon, then make the bathroom remodeling one of your top priorities.

This post will be divided into two parts talking about some crucial modern bathroom ‘Necessities’ and ‘Luxuries’ that you need to keep in mind before you start with remodeling.

Necessities

As the name suggests, these are bathroom must-haves.

Zero Slip Tiles for Flooring:

The last thing you’d want is to slip on the bathroom floor because of the wrong tiles. Among all your options, choose tiles which are textured or smaller in size. Anti-skid tiles are also perfect for this purpose. Generally made of ceramic or porcelain, these have an irregular surface that increases the grip on the floor even if it gets soapy and wet.

You can mix and match tiles of different colors and patterns to match your desired bathroom
aesthetic.

Ventilation:

Steamy and humid conditions in the bathroom are ideal for the growth of mould. Proper ventilation withdraws moisture from the bathroom, thus, eliminating chances of mould growth.

from letting out moisture, windows also let in sunlight which keeps the area dry. Plus, natural light is a visual bonus.

Cabinets and Holders:

Having cabinets and storage holders in the bathroom is very convenient. Wall-mounted corner racks or grooves within the wall are a smart storage solution to keep your toiletries.

Mirror cabinets help with the dual needs of a mirror as well as a storage space. It can also be used to keep medicines. You can also attach a pair of drawers or shelves below the mirror cabinet.

Choose appropriate holders for toothbrushes and soaps. Magazine holders are an additional touch to keep your magazines or books at easy reach.

Water Proofing:

Don’t omit bathroom waterproofing! Check for leaking plumbing lines or clefts in the floor. Seal any gaps that might cause seepage into the walls. Do consult an expert before you begin the waterproofing for your bathroom.

Hardware and Fittings:

When deciding bathroom fittings, think shower curtains, towel bars, toilet seats, faucets, etc. These are an absolute requirement for your modern bathrooms.

A good idea is to have all these in the same design for a consistent look. Plastic works fine if you don’t want to spend much but prefer metal is the all-time best option. Metal will both enhance the appearance and last longer than other materials.
