A bathroom renovation is one of the best ways to add comfort, value, and style to your home. Whether you're upgrading a tired ensuite, modernizing a small bathroom, or creating a spa-inspired retreat, the right design choices can completely transform your space.
At MBN Renovation, we’ve completed many bathroom remodels across Orléans and East Ottawa, and we’ve learned exactly what homeowners love most.
Here are the top bathroom renovation ideas that will elevate your home.
1. Walk-In Showers With Modern Glass Enclosures
Walk-in showers are now the #1 bathroom upgrade in Orléans. Frameless glass, tiled niches, matte black or brushed gold fixtures, and linear drains create a clean and luxurious feel.
They also make small bathrooms look larger and brighter.
2. Large Format Tiles for a Sleek, Luxury Look
Oversized wall and floor tiles (24x48 or 12x24) reduce grout lines and give the bathroom a modern, high-end appearance.
They’re also easier to clean — a win for busy homeowners.
3. Floating Vanities With Soft-Close Drawers
Floating vanities add storage while making the space feel more open.
Pair them with LED mirrors or backlit mirrors for a contemporary touch.
MBN clients love this combination because it creates a hotel-style look without the hotel price.
4. Heated Floors for Ultimate Comfort
In East Ottawa’s cold winters, heated floors are a top request.
They add comfort every morning and increase the value of your home.
Perfect for tile flooring and master ensuites.
5. Beautiful Accent Walls (Tile, Wainscoting, or Stone)
A feature wall adds personality and transforms the bathroom into a designer space.
Popular choices include:
Vertical tile patterns
Full-height stone slabs
Beadboard or wainscoting
Wood-look tiles (moisture-safe)
6. Freestanding Soaker Tubs
If you love relaxing baths, a freestanding tub is a show-stopper.
These tubs instantly become the centerpiece of the room and pair beautifully with modern fixtures and accent lighting.
7. Smart Storage Solutions
Every bathroom needs good storage. Consider:
Custom shelving
Built-in shower niches
Vanity organizers
Medicine cabinets with LED mirrors
Floating shelves for extra towels
Smart storage = less clutter + more style.
8. Modern Lighting That Changes Everything
Good lighting can completely transform a bathroom.
For best results, combine:
Pot lights
Vanity lighting
LED mirrors
Accent lighting under vanities or shelves
This layered lighting creates a warm, inviting atmosphere.
9. High-Efficiency Fixtures
Eco-friendly toilets, water-saving shower heads, and modern faucets reduce water usage and lower energy bills.
They look better and perform better — a win-win.
10. Custom Glass, Premium Fixtures, and Quality Craftsmanship
At the end of the day, the biggest difference comes from the finishing.
Smooth tile lines, perfect silicone joints, clean cuts, and proper waterproofing ensure your bathroom lasts for years.
At MBN Renovation, we focus on quality workmanship and clear communication to give every homeowner a stress-free renovation experience.
