Whether you’re starting from scratch or renovating your beloved bathroom that’s in desperate need of a makeover, consider this your bathroom renovation survival guide. We’re breaking down all of the essential upgrades, smart additions and stylish choices you need to elevate your bathroom to spa-worthy heights — and we’re flagging the considerations that you might not know to think about. 

Maximizing your space 

Before diving into the details, it's crucial to understand the importance of space and layout. Whether you have a compact bathroom or a spacious one, utilizing your space properly has a major impact on the look and feel of your bathroom. 

First, start with an assessment of the size of your bathroom and its focal points. Does it include both a tub and shower, or only a walk-in shower? Is there an oversized vanity that disrupts the space? Take a walk through the space and think about the little inconveniences that add up — like an outlet being too far from the mirror, making it difficult to blow dry your hair, or constantly stubbing your toe on the trash can near the door. Reflecting on how the space currently functions and what improvements would make it more streamlined and efficient will make the renovation process much smoother.

Choose wall-mounted fixtures to free up floor space, and use mirrors to give the illusion of a larger room. Open shelving is another great option for keeping your stylish essentials—like that pricey face oil with the beautiful packaging—within easy reach, without cluttering up valuable cabinet space (reserve that for items like band-aids and aspirin).

Choose your fixtures wisely 

While it can be tempting to hop on what’s trending when it comes to bathroom accessories, it’s important to choose high-quality fixtures that are built to last and are evergreen in their design. This will increase the longevity of your bathroom’s form and function, so you can relax in the bath and use the space with ease for years to come. 

Vogt’s fixtures are built for streamlined, long-lasting design that will impress your guests and please your eye. From sleek staples like our Wörgl towel ring, with its elegant circular shape and solid brass construction, to our chic Zehn robe hook, available in a variety of finishes (chrome, matte black, brushed gold and more), our accessories are designed to complement your space, and each other. 

For a modern aesthetic, choose sleek fixtures with clean lines and a minimalist design. If you prefer a more traditional style, embrace ornate details and timeless finishes, such as our brushed gold finish that evokes old-world elegance.

Style and decor

Speaking of leaning into your taste preferences to bring your bathroom vision to life - let’s talk style and decor.

Once you’ve streamlined the layout of your space and put the proper fixtures in place, it’s time to have fun and play with creative and artistic elements that can bring your space to life. 

Whether you're aiming for a minimalist spa-like retreat or a vibrant, tropical oasis filled with plants and natural light, you can fully customize your bathroom’s style with a few key elements. A well-chosen colour palette, distinctive textures, and carefully selected pieces will make the space uniquely yours.

Choose a colour palette that matches the mood of your space. Our Mond collection is perfect for this, as you can swap out the accent colours depending on your mood or the season. Go for soothing blues and greens for a serene, natural feel, or bold oranges and deep reds for a dramatic, sunset-esque effect. 

For a calming, spa-like atmosphere, incorporate whites and cool-toned colours like soft blues or greys. These shades create an airy, serene vibe that helps you feel relaxed even before turning on the shower. To bring warmth and a sense of grounding to the space, consider adding natural textures like wood and stone. Pro tip: if you’re after a quick refresh, decorative tiles are an easy way to introduce texture and personality to your bathroom without a full remodel.

Designing your dream bathroom is a journey - one that takes creative brainstorming and practical, expert guidance. When you take your time and focus on high-quality, beautiful pieces that will enhance your space, like Vogt’s bathroom fixtures, you can bring your dream bathroom to life.
