Making Remodeling Mistakes

Who doesn't love feeling fresh and clean? Your environment can influence how you feel, so to maximize your ability to feel clean and fresh you should make sure your home feels the same. Shower remodeling is a fun way to make your bathroom feel new or freshen up its look.

Shower remodeling can also help you save water and do less harm to the environment. There are a lot of great options out there for those looking for low-cost improvements that will be helpful in the long term.

Here are four projects with big benefits that won't break your bank account!

1. Replace Your Showerhead

One of the easiest shower remodeling projects is replacing your showerhead. From low-flow showerheads to showerheads with different settings, it's easy to find something perfect for your bathroom and needs.

Consider environmentally friendly showerheads that will do good in the world. Install low-flow showerheads to reduce water consumption and save money on utility bills. You can also install shower timers so people know when they're using more than necessary. It's a great way to conserve water.

2. Install an LED Light in the Shower

Are you tired of showering in the dark? Installing LED lighting is a great shower remodeling idea! They're energy-efficient and look cool too. You can also install them with dimmers to make it easier for kids or the elderly who may need more light when they shower.

It's easy to find shower lights online, or you could always use a showerhead that has built-in LED lights. You just need to make sure that whatever option you go with is installed properly.

3. Replace Your Shower Curtain 

You all know plastic shower curtains are bad for the environment. So a shower curtain made from recycled materials is a great way to make your home eco-friendly and reduce waste.

You could also remodel your shower to make a shower curtain unnecessary. Not only will you avoid spending money and creating more plastic waste by buying shower curtains, but the shower wall will be easier to clean too.

4. Get Rid of Old Fixtures

Getting rid of old fixtures and updating them with new ones is the cheapest way to remodel your shower. In addition to the showerhead, you can update any fixtures used by your bathtub or shower, including the following: 

• Shower arm
• Shower faucet handle and knob
• Shower trim kit (handles)
• Shower valve
• Overflow assembly

A quick replacement can completely change the look of your shower by replacing worn, dated fittings with new, stylish ones. You can also keep the environment in mind when choosing the materials, manufacturing processes, and function of your new shower fittings.
