Assess Your Current Bathroom Layout
Assessing your current layout is an initial step towards a successful bathroom renovation. This initial assessment is crucial as it can address issues like a lack of storage or poor functionality. By determining whether to keep or change your current layout early on, you can prevent costly mistakes down the road. Discussing your ideal layout with our team can help you assess feasibility and potential costs.
Consider the following tips for bathroom renovations and bathroom remodel ideas:
- Reallocate wasted space and convert bathtubs to walk-in showers for better use of space and improved accessibility. We’ll help assistance in this process.
- Evaluate the cost-benefit of relocating amenities like vanities and toilets.
- We’ll make these layout decisions early to streamline the renovation process and avoid delays.
Define Your Vision
A clear vision for your bathroom renovation is vital to smooth the process and prevent delays. At Atlas Remodeling – Bathrooms, Windows, & Doors, we work with you to sketch out your ideal bathroom layout and discuss its feasibility as part of your bathroom project. This step helps avoid costly mistakes and ensures that your desired amenities are compatible with your house’s structure.
It’s important to consider material availability and potential delays, such as backlogs for glass shower enclosures. Ensure your desired amenities, like a soaking tub, are compatible with your house’s structure, such as making sure the joists can support the weight.
Demolition and Preparation
Demolition preparation plays a significant role in the bathroom renovation process. When changes involve plumbing, electrical, or structural components, a permit is required from the Department of Buildings, and we’ll help you navigate this process. Simple replacements like faucets or fixtures that do not alter water shutoff valves or fixture traps typically do not require a permit. However, electrical work often does.
During bathroom renovations, using a temporary outdoor shower can be an effective solution to maintain hygiene. Portable camping showers are also a viable option. This ensures that you can continue with your daily routines without much disruption.
Choosing Finishes and Amenities
Selecting appropriate finishes and amenities is a decisive factor in realizing your dream bathroom. Here are some options to consider:
- Freestanding vanities: Ideal for small spaces and come in a variety of styles.
- Built-in vanities: Suit larger spaces, offering more countertop space and storage.
- Floating vanities: Create a sense of space, perfect for modern or smaller bathrooms.
- Corner vanities: Practical for tiny bathrooms or powder rooms due to their compact design.
- Double-sink vanities: Beneficial for shared bathrooms, providing individual sinks.
Vanity finishes commonly include glass, metal, and wood, with trending colors like navy, green, and light oak. Rich marble veining adds movement and interest to bathroom vanities. Combining chrome accents with Carrara marble can create a timeless and luxurious look for a double vanity.
For those looking for inspiration, subway tiles and fittings inspired by homes in Martha’s Vineyard can offer a fresh perspective. These combinations can help you achieve a sophisticated and elegant bathroom design.
Installing Fixtures and Furniture
The correct installation of bathroom fixtures is central to:
- averting leaks
- minimizing potential damage
- conserving water
- guaranteeing long-term satisfaction
Our installers are courteous, professional, and will be sure to clean up after ourselves.
Popular sink types for vanities include undermount, drop-in, vessel, and wall-mounted sinks. Pedestal and wall-mounted sinks are popular choices for small bathrooms due to their space-saving design. Toilets can be either one-piece or two-piece, with options like gravity-feed or pressure-assisted flushing mechanisms. If we are installing a toilet, we will shut off the water supply, remove the old toilet, install a new wax ring, position the toilet correctly, secure it, and reconnect the supply line.
Soft-close doors and drawers prevent slamming and add to the functionality of vanities. These features enhance the overall experience and ensure long-term satisfaction.
Enhancing Natural Light
Enhancing natural light in your bathroom can foster a brighter and more spacious ambiance. Here are some ways to achieve this:
- Adding windows or using translucent materials for privacy and light
- Reducing barriers like walls that block natural light
- Using translucent corrugated sheets of polycarbonate plastic creatively to maximize natural light in the bathroom
Using clear glass doors in the shower can make the bathroom feel brighter and more spacious. Strategically placed large mirrors can reflect natural light and create the illusion of a larger space.
Storage Solutions
Incorporating intelligent storage solutions can optimize space and functionality in your bathroom. Here are some ideas:
- Tall recessed medicine cabinets provide built-in storage without taking up extra space.
- Between-the-studs storage is a clever way to use wall cavity space for extra storage.
- Built-in bathroom shelves can be customized to fit the dimensions and style of the bathroom, maximizing storage.
Installing a wall niche near the sink can add useful storage space without taking up counter space. Open shelving can provide accessible storage and display space for frequently used items. Stylish storage solutions like customized cabinets and wall-hung storage can prevent clutter and enhance the overall design.

Creating a Spa-Like Atmosphere
Crafting a spa-like ambiance in your bathroom can metamorphose it into a luxurious sanctuary. Here are some ideas to consider:
- Freestanding bathtubs provide a luxurious focal point and a spa-like experience.
- Alcove tubs fit into a three-wall enclosure, making them ideal for smaller bathrooms.
- Adding a water-resistant bench in the walk-in shower provides a place to sit and enhances the spa feel.
- Freestanding tubs paired with brass hardware bring a sense of serenity and sophistication.
- Tubs with views are increasingly popular for creating a spa-like environment.
Using calming colors like warm neutrals or nature-inspired hues such as seafoam green or sky blue can create a tranquil environment. Reflective surfaces such as large mirrors and polished tiles can brighten the bathroom, enhancing its spa-like atmosphere. Decluttering the space by removing expired or unused products helps create a relaxing atmosphere and provides some breathing room. Stocking plush, absorbent bath towels like those made from cotton or bamboo adds to the spa experience. Adding plush rugs to the bathroom floor creates a warm, cozy feel while preventing stepping on cold tile.
Upgrading to a luxurious showerhead with features like massaging spray patterns or rain showerheads can enhance your daily routine in your powder room. Incorporating calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus through essential oil diffusers or scented candles can set a tranquil mood. Incorporating plants such as potted houseplants or hanging plants can make your bathroom feel like a spa. A cozy seat like a side chair or settee can make the bathroom feel extra inviting if space allows. Upgrading toiletries to ones in aesthetically pleasing packaging reinforces the spa look. Incorporating plenty of storage options like baskets, hooks, or shelves helps maintain a clean, uncluttered look.
Smart Technology Integration
Infusing smart technology in your bathroom can heighten its functionality and comfort. Smart mirrors, for instance, come with integrated lighting, touch screen interfaces, defogging capabilities, and even voice-activated controls. They can also display helpful information such as weather and news updates. LED lighting integrated with smart mirrors often has customizable color temperatures to suit different needs and preferences.
Touchless faucets use motion sensors to detect hands, ensuring a hygienic, germ-free operation. These can be controlled via smartphone apps for customization. Smart shower systems allow users to control the shower head, water temperature, pressure, and steam settings through a digital interface or mobile app. Intelligent lighting systems can be programmed to set the perfect ambiance for any time of day. Integrated sound systems controlled via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi allow users to play music or podcasts while they shower.
Voice-activated assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant can control lights, music, and other smart devices, making your bathroom truly high-tech.
Maximizing Small Spaces
Optimizing small bathroom spaces calls for inventive solutions to boost functionality and style. Here are some ideas to consider:
- Install cavity doors instead of traditional swinging doors to save floor space and improve layout flow.
- Use wall-mounted fixtures such as toilets and sinks to save precious floor space and contribute to a clean, modern look.
- Choose multi-functional furniture, such as vanities with built-in storage, to maximize functionality in small bathrooms.
Using light and neutral colors can reflect light and create a sense of airiness. Adding a large mirror can amplify light and create the illusion of a bigger space. Mirrors framed in wood, metal, or tile can serve as a design accessory while reflecting light to make the space appear larger. Floating shelves or tall cabinets maximize vertical storage and free up floor space.
Final Touches and Accessories
Incorporating final touches and accessories completes your bathroom remodel perfectly. Accessories are key to creating a personalized design. Here are some ideas for accessories to consider:
- Adding plants to your bathroom can improve air quality and introduce a sense of calm.
- Artwork can bring personality and inspiration into your bathroom space.
- Fun and unique light fixtures, especially those with clear or seeded glass, can enhance brightness and add character.
Swapping out an old mirror for a modern one can be a simple yet impactful update for your new bathroom. In just a few days, colorful towels, bathmats, and containers can add vibrancy and texture to a neutral bathroom palette. These final touches ensure your bathroom is not only functional but also a reflection of your personal style.
