Bathroom Remodel
Aside from the kitchen, the bathroom is one of the most important rooms of the home, but it is often one that receives the least attention when it comes to remodeling. Many do not see the bathroom as anything more than a functional space, but modern designs are transforming bathrooms into a sanctuary for relaxation. There are a few good reasons why you might want to think about a bathroom renovation in your Chicagoland home.
1. Outdated or Broken Fixtures
Nothing makes your house feel rundown like broken bathroom fixtures or an outdated vanity. Bathrooms are an area of the home that takes a lot of abuse. The ravages of moisture and the occasional minor flood damage to tiles and flooring can cause the bathroom to look dingy. The problems usually start small, and we learn to live with them, but the damage usually only gets worse and can lead to more expensive repairs later.
2. Create a Spa
Creating the feeling of being in a spa is one of the trends that is becoming more popular. There is no reason why you cannot create a space inside of your home that feels like a peaceful sanctuary where you can pamper yourself. A Japanese natural stone soaking tub and some elegant lighting give the space and uplift and Zen-like feel. While you are at it, you might want to opt for a glass shower with a water-saving rain shower head.
3. Update Bathroom Storage
In days past, the bathroom was almost an afterthought when it came to architectural design. As a result, many homes have bathrooms that feel small and cramped. Illinois Remodeling can move the wall if need be, but if that is not in the budget, installing smart storage solutions can open up the space and make it feel more luxurious. If you are thinking of selling your home, updating the bathroom is one renovation that can pay off in the end.
4. Take Advantage of Lighting
One update that transforms the bathroom is taking advantage of natural light. Installing larger windows, white tile, and reflective surfaces make the space look larger. The bathroom is another place where the lighting makes all the difference. Lighting that can be dimmed allows you to create the perfect atmosphere for enjoying a good book while you take a relaxing soak.

We can help you design a space that takes advantage of smart storage solutions, and we can install a few contemporary upgrades.
