So you know you want a new bathroom, but how do you want it to look?
The appearance and feel of your bathroom is important because you spend so much time in it, and it’s also one of the most significant rooms when it comes to selling your house. For these reasons you want to get your bathroom renovation right. It should be an appealing, functional, airy space that induces calm and a sense of order.

Itwill help your resale value if your bathroom has unique features that make it stand out from the crowd. To achieve this effect you have to think outside the box.

The bathroom is the perfect room for a skylight. Particularly if your bathroom only has a tiny window (which is often the case) skylights make a huge difference, providing beautiful natural light to invigorate the room. This is not only a boon when you’re putting on makeup it can also make the space feel larger and more welcoming without changing any other design features.
Think about installing an automated skylight which uses sensors to open and close depending on the weather. This type of skylight means you’re getting fresh air streaming almost constantly into your bathroom, reducing the likelihood of mould build-up. To really change the look and feel of your bathroom, you can’t go wrong with a skylight.
Your colour scheme is really one of the first things you need to decide on when planning a
bathroom renovation. While it’s easy and low-risk to opt for white (or very pale tones), don’t let that stop you from considering more vibrant colour schemes. Once upon a time, basins were mainly limited to porcelain (meaning they were most often white), now you can get gorgeous vividly hued concrete basins, or stone basins reflecting the beautiful range of natural colours found in stone. The broadening of the colour palette through the use of new materials is a trend that can be found across other fixtures too.
While you might be justifiably worried that, for instance, a totally green-tiled bathroom might date, small amounts of colour when used in aesthetically pleasing ways are far less likely to. Think about installing a vivid tile combination in perhaps just one section of the bathroom or, opt for statement colour fixtures. Whatever you do, remember great bathroom renovation ideas take courage. You can always create a boring vanilla bathroom with safe white walls and tiles but why would you do that when there’s so many better options?
