Beyond the Basics: 7 Bold Bathroom Upgrades You’ll Wish You Did Sooner

When you think “bathroom remodel,” you might picture new tile, a shiny faucet, maybe a fresh coat of paint. But what if I told you that the real magic happens when you dare to go beyond the basics?

At Farrell’s Remodeling here in Oklahoma City, we’ve helped families—just like yours—transform their bathrooms into spaces that actually make life better. It’s not just about aesthetics. It’s about how your space feels the moment you walk in. It's about ease, comfort, and a quiet little “wow” every time you close the door behind you.

Here’s the truth: the upgrades you hesitate to make are usually the ones that change the game. We’ve seen it time and time again.

Like the mom of three in Edmond who thought a walk-in shower was “too extra”—until she realized it meant no more stepping over slippery tubs with toddlers in tow.

Or the couple in Nichols Hills who added heated floors on a whim—and now say winter mornings feel like a vacation in Aspen.

And let’s talk lighting. One of our clients swapped their dim vanity bulbs for layered lighting with a soft-glow mirror—and now says her morning routine feels like she’s getting ready in a boutique hotel (minus the room service, sadly).

These are the kinds of changes that go deeper than “nice.” They make you breathe easier, smile wider, and fall a little more in love with your home.

So here’s our gentle nudge: Be bold. Go for the feature that makes your heart skip. Add the tile that speaks your language. Put your stamp on that space.

Because bathrooms may be small—but what do they hold for you? That’s big.

Let’s talk about the boldest version of your bathroom.
Whether you’ve got sketches or just a feeling, we’re here to bring it to life with care, craftsmanship, and a little bit of flair.
