Tips to Upgrade Half Bathrooms

Tips to Upgrade Half Bathrooms

Sometimes people think that remodeling a half bathroom is easy. Just install a toilet, a sink, and a mirror, and the work is done. However, you need to think again. As these small rooms are located in the main part of your house, they tend to be very useful. The limited yet useful space needs careful planning when choosing and installing fixtures for privacy, aesthetics, and function. Thus, you need to select a las vegas bathroom remodel to upgrade your half bathroom.

Half baths can be decorated for both aesthetics and utility. Also, you can add a few upgrades to your half bath to increase its usefulness as well as appearance. So, below are a few tips that you may follow for your half-bath remodel.

Tips to upgrade half bathroom

Counter

In a kitchen, counter surfaces can increase renovation costs to a great extent. However, a half bath needs a small amount of counter surfacing, near about 2 or 3 linear feet. Thus, this can be the place for marble or some other high-end surfacing. Granite or quartz are also great choices for your bathroom counters.

A sink

Pedestal sinks are great for small spaces and also have sculptural styling. Bowls come in different sizes and shapes. When choosing a pedestal sink, remember to check out the rim around the bowl. In a small or half bathroom, there has to be an edge that can hold a dispenser of liquid soap or a bar or soap.

Vessel sinks can be installed with a one-hole cut into the surface, instead of a full cut-out, and also conserve counter space. Primarily, vessel sinks are used for washing hands and work well in a powder room layout. They are versatile and stylish and can be mounted on cabinetry, on a shelf, or on a piece of furniture.

Bold wallpaper and wall color

People often believe that a small room needs to be painted white or another neutral color that can make it appear larger. However, in reality, you can use wallpaper or color in a small bathroom space to add character, and architectural interest, and to showcase the elements.

Lighting

There are several options for lighting in half bathrooms, such as sconces, vanity lighting, or overhead lighting. In some cases, a combination of these is the best. As vanity lighting is designed especially for bathrooms, it requires very little space and can offer ample lighting. Scones are a notable option for small bathrooms that have a single sink. Thus, you can install them on either side of the bathroom mirror to create a well-balanced lighting look. Moreover, overhead lighting is always a great choice for small spaces because it requires absolutely no wall or surface space.

Storage

You need to avoid a clunky storage unit and just opt for an open-concept shelving system. The freestanding shelf in a half bath can keep the space clutter-free and open. Moreover, you can fill the shelves with decorative basins, crafty containers, and stylish soap dishes for all the bathroom accessories. 

Make it eye-catching

In some cases, the only upgrade that is important is a stylish one. Rather than renovating your entire bath, you can just upgrade one certain element of the room. You can replace your traditional bathroom vanity with a unique and antique version that can add both style and personality. This special change also works well on wall art, sinks, and door knobs.

Thus, you should upgrade your half bath carefully to increase its look and usefulness. Also, for some exclusive half bath ideas or an amazing home renovation in las vegas, you can contact GC Pro Remodeling.
