Bathrooms are a popular space to renovate due to their typically smaller size; a smaller area makes getting the job done faster and easier. Additionally, it makes it less of a daunting cost–less paint, countertop space, or flooring needed. However, it can still be an overwhelming task. Continue reading for tips on a smooth bathroom remodel process.
Set a Budget
Bathroom remodeling can be a big investment for your home; however, setting a budget for yourself can keep you on track and avoid spiraling costs. Consider researching average remodeling costs as well as a contractor or design-build firm pricing and implement that into your budget. This will help you be prepared ahead of time and give you an understanding of how much everything will cost.
Bathroom remodeling can be pricey– labor costs, materials, and more can add up. Factor in the price of everything to fully formulate your budget. Here are some things to consider:
What are you willing to invest in? What can you afford to invest in?
What parts of the remodel are absolutely essential for you?
Choose the Type of Bathroom You Want
There are many types of bathrooms, so research your options to set your ideas in stone. If you aren’t sure where to start, a professional interior designer can help you narrow down your thoughts or present new possibilities you weren’t aware of.
An option for a bathroom remodel can be a standard bathroom. This type contains a bath or shower with a sink and toilet. A standard bathroom would be perfect for those who want something simple that can still look luxurious. A wet bathroom has an open shower instead of a bath tub or something behind a curtain. They are a bit more of an investment; however, they make efficient use of space. A powder room can be for smaller bathrooms with just a sink and toilet. This can be perfect for families that want a half bath for guest to use.
Create a Layout
After choosing the type of bathroom you want, it is now time to create a layout. Layouts may be a bit difficult to develop, so consider having an experienced interior designer to help you. It’s always easier to keep the existing layout of your bathroom to avoid the stress of rearranging plumbing fixtures. But, if you want to change the layout completely, your interior designer can help you with design consultations and 3-D models. This will help you see exactly how your remodel will look. If you have a smaller space, your layout designs may be limited. Nevertheless, your interior designer can help you make use of a smaller area and still carry out your remodel needs.
