Your bathrooms are used every day, so you want them to be functional, attractive, and water-efficient. It is also important that bathroom surfaces are waterproof to prevent mold growth. Here are 5 ways to remodel your bathroom that will transform the space.

Replace the Vanity to Remodel Your Bathroom

The bathroom vanity is the cabinet that holds the sink and has plumbing pipes and storage inside. Remodel your bathroom by replacing the vanity with one that has an upscale countertop material or a larger sink. You could even install one that has two sinks, but more plumbing work would need to be done.

Paint the Bathtub

Over time, the finish on a bathtub can chip or wear off. It can also become stained. Perhaps your older home has the original bathtub that is an odd, outdated color. To make your bathtub look new and clean, you can paint it. Buy special paint specifically for bathtubs to tackle this project.

Add Backsplash

A backsplash helps keep water from seeping into drywall and is easy to clean. It also offers a decorative flair to the bathroom. A backsplash can be made from several different types of materials, from ceramic, porcelain, or glass tiles, to peel-and-stick options.

Replace Fixtures to Save Water

Old showerheads, faucets, and toilets use more water than is necessary. Modern fixtures get the same job done using much less water. The water pressure still feels strong for low-flow showerheads and faucets because air is pushed through the water stream.

Remodel Your Bathroom With New Flooring

Your bathroom flooring should be made from waterproof materials and be in good condition. If a tiled bathroom floor is cracked, water may be seeping into the floorboards. Wood or linoleum flooring materials are not appropriate for a bathroom because they are not waterproof. Good options for bathroom flooring include tiles made from porcelain, ceramic, or stone, or luxury vinyl planks.
