Tips to renovate the bathroom in your furnished apartment rental in Paris

1. Opt for a shower-bath

When you don’t have much space in your long-term Paris apartment rental, you may wonder whether to install a shower or a bath. Why not both? While many prefer showers, a bathtub is necessary for a family with small children. Today, a shower-bath combination is an option! 

Note that if the shower-bath you choose does not have a door, consider adding an anti-slip finish to make getting in and out easier. 

2. Choose durable flooring

Choose durable flooring options such as ceramic, marble, or stone tiles. They are water-resistant and easy to clean, which are both attractive qualities. 

3. Hang a large mirror 

Install a large mirror over the sink(s), and supplement it with a wall-mounted magnifying mirror. This feature is appreciated by both women and men!

4. Use found space

Take advantage of space between fixtures and install a tall storage cabinet into the wall to maximize vertical storage while saving floor space. Find inexpensive and quality options at Ikea, Habitat and Conforama. 

5. Good lighting is a must.

Combine halogen spot lights with wall sconces beside or over the mirror for lighting with no shadows. 

6. Buy a quality toilet

Purchase high-quality toilets! Not only will it be comfortable, but it will last. Remember almost falling off a shaky seat or getting your buttocks pinched? No more repairs! Also, look for models with dual-flush technology to save water.

7. Picking up good ventilation.

A good bathroom ventilation system ensures adequate air circulation in your bathroom, which helps prevent mold formation and keeps walls and floors dry and odor-free!

8. make sure that all grout is sealed

Last, you should ensure that all joints are properly sealed to prevent moisture from getting into the gaps around the tiles. This is usually the first thing a potential tenant will notice during a viewing.
