When you decide to make some improvements around your home, bathroom and residential kitchen remodeling can be a great choice. For most homeowners, these are two of the areas that tend to present them with the most issues. You can learn about some of the things that can be done in your kitchen and bathroom in order to help transform both into spaces you enjoy much more and that cater to your needs more. 

Remodeling the bathroom

Bring in more lighting - Lighting is so important to a bathroom, but many bathrooms lack natural lighting (light from windows or skylights). This is often due to a lack of exterior wall space where windows can go. However, there are things that can be done to bring in a lot more natural lighting. Skylights can be installed. Also, glass blocks can be installed in the exterior wall at multiple heights to bring in light and create a unique design. 

Create a great shower area - The shower you have installed during the remodeling will depend on your own desires. However, you can also use the choice of shower to create more space, add a modern touch, or even to bring in more colors. 

Install new features - One of the very fun parts of remodeling the bathroom can be choosing all the new features and hardware. This is where you bring your own style into the bathroom. Pick faucets, knobs, handles, and other features that really appeal to your sense of style. 

Remodeling the kitchen

Create more space - Space is a common complaint when it comes to kitchens. If you need more space in your own kitchen, then this may be the number one thing you want to focus on having done. Once the kitchen is extended, then there will be more floor space, as well as more space for additional counters and cupboards. 

Put in an island - Sometimes, it's just a lack of countertop surface and cupboards that bothers homeowners about their kitchen. If this is the case for you as well. Then having an island installed can be a simple way to get both. Plus, an island can also feature an additional sink or extra burners. 

Have custom cupboards installed - If you aren't happy about your cupboards, consider custom ones. They allow you to go with cupboards that have any and all the built-in features that you feel would help improve the functionality of your kitchen for you.
