With a few small changes, you can transform your bathroom from blah to beautiful. Remodeling your bathroom can have a significant impact on how much you enjoy your home, and it's also a project that can increase your home's resale value.

Our real estate agents suggest the following seven bathroom remodeling ideas you'll want to try:

1. Maximize Your Space
   If you have a small bathroom, design the space with the idea of making it look larger. Installing glass doors for showers and tubs creates an open look, and you can also choose a pedestal sink since it will take up less room than a sink with cabinets underneath. If you still need storage, use racks that fit above the toilet.
   
   
2. Update Your Fixtures
   For comparatively little money, you can update your bathroom fixtures such as light fixtures, faucets, towel racks, and drawer pulls. These will give your bathroom an updated look and make a larger-than-expected difference in its overall appearance.
   
   
3. Enhance Your Lighting
   A lighting upgrade will make sure that your space looks bright and showcases your improvements. Try wall lighting to eliminate shadows by the mirror and to brighten areas that need extra light. You can use sconces on either side of the bathroom mirror as well as strip lights placed over it. Recessed lighting is also versatile and can be placed anywhere.
   
   
4. Spiff up Your Walls
   Repainting your bathroom can have a tremendous effect on its appearance, and compared to other upgrades, it offers a great bang for the buck. If you're doing it yourself, keep in mind it may take more time than you think as you work your way around the sink, shower, mirror, toilet, switch plates, and other fixtures. And since bathrooms are prone to developing moisture and mildew, spend more to get a high-quality paint with a satin finish.
   
   
5. Go Green
   As long as you're making changes in your bathroom, make choices that will conserve water. Look for low-flow toilets, sinks, showerheads, and faucets, which usually don't cost any more than traditional ones do. And as you use less water over time, you'll be saving money on your water bill.
   
   
6. Choose the Right Flooring
   Bathroom flooring options have come a long way in recent years. You can choose from ceramic/porcelain tile, engineered hardwood (which can handle the moisture and humidity present in a bathroom), luxury vinyl, and natural stone tiles. Each has its pros and cons and varies in price, so you'll be able to make the best choice based on your preferences and budget. And while you can't go wrong with a neutral or white floor, some homeowners prefer a more graphic look in their flooring.
   
   
7. Add a Few Luxuries
   A remodel is the perfect chance to add some luxuries you've always wanted. These can include radiant heated flooring, custom window coverings, heated towel racks, and a flat-screen TV. These upscale touches can make your bathroom feel more luxurious and give it a spa-like atmosphere.
