The fast-approaching holiday season is a time for family, friends and festive gatherings. As you prepare your home for the influx of guests, don’t overlook one of the most frequently used spaces: the bathroom.
Focus on functionality
Start by considering the functionality. Ensure there is enough space for guests to move around comfortably. If you have a small bathroom, consider space-saving solutions like wall-mounted sinks, floating vanities or corner storage units. These can help free up floor space and create a more open, inviting environment. Additionally, think about accessibility features to accommodate all your guests. A walk-in shower with a built-in seat is useful for people of all abilities, including elderly or mobility-impaired guests.
Fixtures, hardware and lighting – oh my!
Simple upgrades that pack a punch include replacing outdated faucets, showerheads and cabinet handles with modern, stylish options. Good lighting is essential in a bathroom, especially during the darker winter months. Add layers of lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Combine ambient lighting with task lighting around the mirror for grooming and makeup application. Con-
sider installing dimmer switches to adjust the brightness according to the time of day.
Get festive
Adding seasonal decor to your bathroom is a wonderful way to infuse holiday cheer and make your guests feel welcome. Swap out your regular towels for ones in holiday colors or patterns. Add holiday-themed accessories like soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, and shower curtains. These small, festive changes are easy to switch out after the holidays.
Plan ahead
A bathroom remodel can be a significant project, so plan ahead to ensure it’s completed in time for the holidays. Work with a professional contractor to create a timeline and stick to it. Allow for some flexibility in case of unexpected delays but aim to finish well before your first holiday gathering.
Many contractors are booked for the holiday season thus far, but this is a good time to also notice any pieces of your existing spaces that you’d like to modify or change. Keep notes of any major hiccups you notice, and once the new year has rolled around, you’ll be ready to dive into a project!
