Which Bathroom Upgrades Are Worth the Investment?

As you plan your bathroom remodeling project, you may come to realize that not all details and upgrades are worth the cost. To avoid becoming overwhelmed by the renovation, it helps to focus on the most cost-effective upgrades. Total Bath Systems, one of the leading local tub-to-shower conversion contractors, shares some of the most common upgrades that are worth the investment.

Lighting

Lighting plays a major role in the overall design of your bathroom. If you want to highlight and enhance the room’s visual appeal, don’t settle for builder-grade lighting. Natural light coming from your windows won’t always be enough, so consider getting fixtures with bright LED lights so that they last a long time. Adding recessed lights can also enhance the overall ambiance of your bathroom as they illuminate your vanity and shower area. 

Storage and Shelving

Discuss with your walk-in tub conversion contractor how they can effectively maximize your bathroom space with additional storage options. Make sure the bathroom has at least a closet, medicine cabinet and recessed shelving so that you have space for all your toiletries and other items. Storage space is also a big selling point if you plan on selling your home soon. Additional shelving also increases storage space while looking stylish. Recessed shelves in the shower provide easy access to necessities and can be cleverly tucked into the wall.

Radiant Floor Heating

This is a great addition that’s becoming increasingly popular in modern bathroom design. Several options are available, but some of the most popular ones are forced hot water radiant heating and the more affordable electric radiant mats. Forced hot water radiant heating works by having hot water piped under the subfloor while electric radiant mats are placed on top of the cement board subfloor.
