The master bathroom. It’s probably one of the rooms you spend the least amount of time in every day. And yet, the quality and design of this space can so greatly affect your happiness. The small footprint of the room compared to the rest of your home and the potential lack of natural lighting can combine into an oppressive feeling. If you’re looking to remodel your East Brunswick home, the bathroom is one space that could really benefit from some upgrades and accessories.

Actual Added Light to Your Bathroom

Let’s start out straight away with something that could illuminate the bathroom in a remodel. Overhead lighting is great, but tends to cast shadows. Have you ever tried putting on makeup or shaving your beard with only overhead lighting? It’s tough to feel comfortable doing either with just that bulb up top. This lighted vanity mirror from Fleurco above is almost futuristic-looking. Extra modern, its functionality is off the charts for your bathroom dreams. No more uneven cat eye or chin cuts required.

Shrink It Down

When you’re remodeling your bathroom, try not to view every square in as fillable. It’s that negative space that lets the room breathe and reflect light. This can be easier said than done for smaller bathrooms, though. A floating vanity like this one leaves the floor space feeling open and unencumbered.

Take It Out

Are you feeling seriously cramped for room? Consider simply removing something from the bathroom. You don’t need a full length mirror hanging over the door or taking up wall space if you can put it on the wall in the master bedroom or hallway instead. Bonus points if it’s also a source of illumination like this one from Fleurco! You can also reevaluate what you actually consider important for your bathroom and what’s just a waste of space. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

Mount It

Again, not everything needs a footprint to work. Floating shelves are especially useful in showers with little extra space. Corners tend to be awkward spots to fill well regardless. Skip the focus or the cutesy converted ladder tower rack and go back to the basics. Glass is a great option for inside the shower, while other materials may look better next to the vanity.
