In a quest to boost the value of their properties and the quality of their lives, many homeowners renovate their spaces before they get outdated. From living rooms and kitchens to bedrooms and bathrooms, a little change can go a long way. According to Comfy Living, bathrooms are the second-most common rooms to be remodeled in U.S. homes after kitchens. Since bathrooms provide private spaces for self-care and freshening up, it's important that you stay comfortable in them. Let's take a look at four inspirational ideas for your next bath remodel.

1. The Lighting

Changing your existing lighting can freshen your bathroom's appeal. There are a couple of options you can choose from to bathe the room in a new light. Not only can you change out the physical light fixtures themselves with new ones but you could also put more windows in the bathroom and open it up to more natural light. Natural light can be great for fatigue and stress, particularly at sunrise and sunset.

You can also consider changing the location of the light fixtures in your bathroom. For example, if they're situated in the middle of the ceiling, you could move them above the sink or counter to provide more direct light while freshening up. When lights are closer to the wall, there's a chance that they could create a scalloped effect on the walls instead of simply casting light onto the floor. This can make your bathroom feel larger and brighter.

2. The Mirror

Changing out your mirror for a larger one can create the impression of a larger, brighter space. When adding mirrors to your bathroom, you should first identify the most suitable place to mount them. Not only should the mirror you plan to add to your bathroom be of superior quality to the previous one but it should also fit nicely with the style you're attempting to capture in the renovated space.

3. Floating Shelves

Consider adding floating shelves to solve any storage-related problems with your bathroom. Simple shelving is often cheaper than installing cabinets. Shelves also take up less space and, unless you're planning on the old-school mirrored cabinet setup, don't jut out as far into the room. Moreover, you can decorate your shelves however you choose and everything you place on them will be visible.

4. A Heated Towel Rack

Another great idea for your bath remodel is adding a heated towel rack. Unlike traditional racks, heated towel racks not only dry your towel more quickly but can also ensure your towel is warm by the time you're done in the bath or shower. Dry towels have a much lower risk of harboring mold or bacteria, which thrive in moisture.
