Many of us have a bathroom that we’d love to remodel. But before you begin a bathroom remodeling project, here are 10 tips to consider.
- Create a budget—This will help determine what kind of materials you will need to purchase and how much and what type of bathroom remodeling you’ll be able to do.
- Explore your options—Look at remodeling magazines, visit show rooms, and do research online to find examples of things you like. The more direction you can give your remodeling contractor, the better.
- Don’t move your plumbing—There are many ways to make dramatic improvements in a bathroom. You can save a pretty penny, while still using high-quality materials, by keeping your plumbing where it is. Focus your remodel on making the layout look better. Replace the toilet and retile the shower, but keep the water lines where they are.
- Plan for shower storage—This little choice will make a big difference in the long run. Shower storage for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. could be one of your favorite features in your new bathroom.
- Get a curved shower rod—A curved rod will give you significantly more room in the shower without a big price tag.
- Select accent tiles—This is a great way to pack a little punch into your bathroom remodeling project. These tiles can be on the backsplash and/or in the shower.
- Go green—Selecting energy-efficient hardware will save you a dramatic amount of money on your electric and water bill. Plus, it’s good for the environment.
- Update the lighting—Don’t underestimate the power of good lighting. Sconces can be a great touch. And a bubble bath with dimmed lights is relaxing and romantic.
- Ventilation—Your amazing remodel could become covered with mold and mildew without proper ventilation. There are now many options that get the job done without sacrificing aesthetics.
- Splurge on something you love—Think about a single piece that will be the focal point and get what you really want. If you skimp on everything to stay in budget, you could be frustrated, but you can always enjoy the one thing you got exactly like you wanted.
