Pinterest is an awesome way to get inspired for bathroom remodels. Pins are always updating, so you will never run out of content to explore. On top of that, Pinterest is an easy way to be able to save and organize all your ideas in one spot. Once your remodel is complete, the social media can also be a great place to turn to for interior design and aesthetics.

What Should You Update in Your Bathroom Remodel?
Update your Fixtures!
Replacing outdated fixtures with modern ones can instantly freshen the look and feel of your bathroom while also improving functionality. Look for sleek, contemporary faucets and shower heads to give your space a refreshing experience. At this point you can also make sure your fixtures have good filters so that you are not using harsh water (which is especially an issue in Lancaster, PA).
Upgrade Your Lighting
This is always a good investment, no matter what you are updating in your house! It plays an essential role in how space looks and feels. Choose light fixtures that are both stylish and functional so you can control how much light you need for each task.
Not only can you have light in your ceiling, but you can also install lighting (whether LED or something similar) around your bathroom mirror frame, under your cabinets, etc. to provide the style and aesthetics common in 2024.
Update Your Shelving
Installing shelving can provide extra storage without taking up too much floor space. Find shelves that fit seamlessly with your bathroom style, whether it’s modern or rustic, and use them to store towels, toiletries, and other items needed in this room of the house.
If you have the option to create more space in your bathroom, building small closet spaces can help to hide your bathroom supplies from view, making this part of your home feel clean and organized.
Install New Floor Tiles
Installing new floor tiles can give your old bathroom a much-needed facelift while making it easier to clean and maintain over time. Look for ceramic or porcelain tiles with interesting patterns or geometric shapes for added visual appeal. This is also smart to do if you have not installed new floor tiles in a long time, because new, quality tiles will help keep your bathroom from falling apart in the years to come.
Replace Countertops
Replacing old countertops with new ones is another way to instantly update the look of your bathroom without spending a fortune on renovations. Choose materials like granite, marble, quartz, concrete, or laminate, depending on your budget and desired aesthetic.
Some Additional Ideas and Inspiration for Your Bathroom Remodel
Create a Spa-Like Experience with a Stand-Alone Bathtub
A stand-alone bathtub creates an aesthetic spa-like feeling whenever you are home for the evening and are ready for some relaxation. Get the right lighting going, calm music playing, and your bathroom turns into the ultimate relaxation spot!
Heated Concrete Floors
No one likes stepping out of the shower onto a cold floor! Get heating for your floors so that when you step out of the warm shower, you still have a warm experience. One other fun aspect you can include is a heated towel rack, perfect for those chilly winter mornings or evenings.
Expanded Showers
Surprisingly, elongated showers with multiple or long shower heads is a great feeling! It provides you with more space for your morning or evening routine (depending on when you shower). If your shower is long, you can also get built-in seating and more shelving space for your items.
Tiled Walls and Showers
Yes, tile is back in style! Tile can provide a colorful aesthetic in your shower and bathroom remodel, especially if you choose colors that are gem-tones like sapphire or emerald. Dark blue, turquoise, a stone-like color tones are also in style for your bathroom aesthetic.
Wood Walls and Flooring
If tile, stone, and concrete are not your style, go more nature-like with light-colored wood or bamboo. This helps to create a more natural aesthetic for your bathroom remodel. If you go this route, we recommend all wood features (cabinets, shelving, floors, etc.) to be matching in color and style for a more monochromatic feel.
Rugs and curtains can be easier to match with wood walls and flooring, too. We recommend light-colored furnishings like white, cream or tan.
