Let’s be honest—remodeling a bathroom isn’t glamorous. It involves demolition dust, people in boot covers, and the moment you realize you’ve been brushing your teeth over the kitchen sink for three weeks.
But a bathroom remodel Sacramento, CA? Done right, it’s the glow-up your home (and sanity) deserves.
So let’s talk smart design, sharp execution, and what not to do—so your new space feels calm, clean, and completely worth it.
🚿 Rule #1: You Don’t Need More Stuff—You Need Less Junk
The old vanity had 17 drawers. Impressive. None of them closed properly, and only three had anything useful in them.
Jonathan Scott would say: “More storage isn’t better. Better storage is better.”
Minimalist tip:
→ Go for a floating vanity with deep, full-extension drawers. One you can actually organize, not just toss things into like a squirrel hiding snacks.
🛠️ Rule #2: Do One Thing Exceptionally Well
Trying to make a 50 sq ft bathroom into a luxury spa is like trying to host Thanksgiving in a closet. Instead, pick one feature to shine.
Examples:
A statement tile wall
A backlit mirror (your selfies will thank you)
A sleek walk-in shower with frameless glass
You only need one wow. The rest? Calm, neutral, and wipeable. Yes, wipeable—that’s the real secret to luxury.
🔧 Rule #3: Sacramento-Specific Smarts
We love the heat. We do not love how that heat + humidity turns a badly ventilated bathroom into a science experiment.
Add this to your remodel checklist:
Proper exhaust fan (with a timer!)
Low-flow toilet (for that sweet water rebate)
LED lighting (dimmable = yes, please)
Light-colored tile that won’t scorch your feet in summer
Minimalism isn’t cold. It’s just functional—with taste.
😅 Rule #4: Embrace the Chaos (Briefly)
Week 2: Your contractor finds 1970s plumbing that appears to have been held together with duct tape and blind optimism. You want to cry.
Take a deep breath. Call it what it is: progress.
Because that old plumbing? It was leaking, inefficient, and just waiting to surprise you during the holidays. Fixing it now means peace of mind later.
Plus, when your new shower pressure could double as a back massage, you’ll forget all about the temporary chaos.
✅ Final Thought
A bathroom remodel Sacramento, CA doesn’t need chandeliers and gold grout to be beautiful. With a minimalist approach, a clean palette, and a little humor, your new space can be fresh, functional, and fabulous.
Remember: Jonathan Scott says design should “simplify your life, not complicate it.”
Same goes for towel racks.
