The Latest Bathroom Remodel Trends for Your Own Home Improvement Project

 

Homeowners biting at the bit to add various home improvements, while minimizing disruptions in their daily routines, can opt to start on the project section by section. For example, starting with a bathroom remodel proves very logical because there are usually multiple bathrooms in a house, which means that if one is under renovation, another serves as a functional substitute.

The size of the bathroom also lends itself to being first on the remodel list. With some exceptions, its relative smallness means the work can be done more quickly than other areas of the home. The only caveat to this involves the instance of extensive plumbing repairs or replacements.

In any case, here are some trendy ideas that you can bring up with the designer or contractor who is remodeling your bathroom.

Tips for Taking on Your Bathroom Remodel Project with 2017 Trends

Technology on the Floor

This year, design experts are looking at adding more functional technology inside bathrooms. Radiant heating tile on the floor is one example. These tiles do as the name implies: warm up certain sections of the bathroom floor, which commonly cools overnight to present a chilly reception for your morning feet.

The possibility to place these radiant heating tiles on whichever portion of the floor you choose makes them appealing. It can be in the toilet area, the entrance, or at the foot of the tub and shower. Moreover, they will certainly increase the value of your home because technological improvements are high on the list of home value enhancers.

Subtle Colors on the Wall

Moving up from the floor, itโ€™s now time to set your eyes on the walls. If you want it looking spartan clean and very minimal, you can choose plain colors for the wall, but then offset it by a small pop of color, such as that from the accent of a painted orchid stem.

The in-thing this year, however, is to apply color to the bathroom wall. It doesnโ€™t have to be loud and intrusiveโ€”you can apply a small tile mosaic just to add a minimal quotient of pizzazz on an otherwise clean wall. This can instantly enhance or modernize the look of the bathroom.

Multipurpose but Fashionable Storage

A big hit nowadays among interior designers is the use of bathroom cabinets that emanate the aesthetic of actual furniture. Not only does it add to the visual appeal of the room, but it also adds more functionality.

Closed cabinets help organize things better, but discreetly. So, in case you would prefer to have the bathroom items stowed away from sight, these cabinets can work well to suit your needs.

A remodeling contractor like Sterling Works can lend you further advice on what other trends might work for your remodeling project. Get started on the consultations right away so that you can work out other unique ideas.ย

Philip and the Sterling Works team were wonderful to work with on my bathroom renovation! From the estimate to completing the final punch list, the project went smoothly and stayed on schedule. Philip was at my house daily for the bulk of the project, ensuring that all of the subs were coordinated and completing the project exactly as promised. Any small issues that arose were met with solutions from the experienced team. I highly recommend Sterling Works for your next home renovation!

My husband and I cannot praise Sterling Works highly enough! Philip has assembled and overseen a team of pros who do gorgeous, precise work, turning our cramped, hideous 1970s bathroom and small walk-in closet into the Japandi retreat of our dreams--a room we can age into with confidence. Would we use Sterling Works again? Absolutely! If you're lucky enough to find them free, grab them fast! A+++++++++

Philip was hands down the best contractor from start to finish of a project we could have asked for. His attention to detail and understanding my vision for our kitchen was so easy to communicate. The crew he hires from demo and structural engineering work, to cabinet making to local recommendations for suppliers of appliances, countertops, etc are all top notch. The best part was his timeline and budget were accurate and we had no surprises there. I hope he never retires for my own sake. Most of all, he is an in town local and kept our house and dogs safe while we underwent this huge renovation! Peace of mind while turning a project over was such a relief.

Sterling Works did an absolutely incredible job giving us the kitchen of our dreams. They werenโ€™t the first business we met with when planning our kitchen renovation, but we knew after meeting with the owner, Phil, that we had found the right company for the job. Phil understood our vision for our kitchen and was really invested in giving us exactly what we wanted. He was the first contractor that we met with that actually had suggestions and gave some of his own ideas that helped us to make some key decisions. As far as timing goes, I know itโ€™s impossible to promise an exact date for a project, but despite the hiccups that come with renovations in a 70+ year old house, they moved swiftly (not too swiftly as to make mistakes) and finished right on time as promised. 10/10 would absolutely work with Sterling Works again and would recommend them to anyone.

I am so happy with our our 2nd floor renovation project turned out from Sterling Works. Everyone was wonderful to work with, from the flooring crew who had to pivot when the original plan wasn't going to work, to the carpenter who built our custom vanity and the rest of the crew who did excellent work. They all took our wishes into account, offered suggestions based on their professional expertise, and made sure we were happy with the end results. Our house finally feels more like a home than an apartment and we are thrilled with the results.

We recently completed a project with Sterling Works and could not be happier with the experience and outcome. We updated both our kitchen and primary bathroom and they both turned out great. The entire process working with Philip and his team was easy from initial planning to completion. Philipโ€™s team is wonderful. They are all very talented and do meticulous work. Also, they are also extremely friendly and polite. In addition to the great work, they also do the โ€œlittle thingsโ€ like cleaning up the work site at the end of every day, which really does make a huge difference with all of the work taking place in the house. Overall, the project was completed on time and there were no surprises on cost. We would highly recommend Sterling Works and are already considering updating a guest bathroom with them later this year.

Had my kitchen completely redone with a lot of special requests and Sterling Works managed it all beautifully. They were extremely professional and all the work was done on time. Philip was so easy to work with and highly responsive, as were all of his crew. The subcontractors he chose were also highly professional and easy to work with. My kitchen turned out stunning, so if you want quality work done on time, these are the guys.

I just finished a kitchen and second room remodel, working with Phil and his crew. I cannot say enough about the process and the results. Phil really helped guide me through the whole remodel process and communicated with me next steps, schedule and the all-important budget. As we came upon a couple of issues and choices, he and his crew were able to offer solutions and options and implement them to perfection. For example, my house is very old so I was terrified of what we would find once we opened the walls. And we did find something โ€“ some of the pipes were split and leaking beneath the house, as well as into the basement. Phil and his crew were able to deal with this new situation almost immediately. Going into this, I also worried about having a whole crew in the house for such a long period of time. His crew is really the best group of guys. But by the time the project was finished I could not imagine, not having them around! They are really good people!!! I cannot overstate that! This whole scary process was so easy and enjoyable due to their knowledge, experience and ingenuity. My remodel is absolute perfection. I definitely recommend Phil and hope to have future projects with them. Sincerely, Erin
