Things to Consider When Planning a Bathroom Remodel

If done right, a bathroom remodel can be one of the most satisfying home improvement projects you can tackle. However, the success of your project depends on several factors that you have to consider even before a bathroom remodeler lays down the first tile. Here’s a quick checklist from our team of experts to help make sure that you get your dream bathroom.

Your Budget

This is the #1 priority when planning your bathroom remodel. After all, your remodeling options will be limited by how much you can spend. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you should start by picking the cheapest options available. Knowing which options will give you the best value will be the difference between a good remodeling project and a disappointing one.

Essential Elements

Bathroom remodeling is all about enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of your bathroom, so take the essentials into consideration. By picking options revolving around the essentials, you avoid making changes that run the risk of compromising your bathroom’s efficiency.

Safety & Quality of Life Improvements

Once you have the essentials covered, you can start considering options meant to make your bathroom more convenient. These include extras like motion-activated lighting and wall-mounted soap or shampoo dispensers. You can also consider options like anti-slip surfaces in wet areas and grab handles near the toilet and bathroom.

Cosmetic Improvements

Function may take top priority, but that doesn’t mean you can completely ignore aesthetics. After all, you don’t want to spend time in an unsightly bathroom. The first thing that usually undergoes a makeover is the floor, but don’t forget other elements like the shelves, lighting and even the ceiling. It’s a good idea to have a clear visual goal for your bathroom so you can pick your options based on a specific theme.

Adding Accessories

Accessories are a great last touch after a major bathtub or shower remodel. You can add well-concealed wireless speakers or light sconces so you can enjoy soothing lights and music while you take a soak. Other optional accessories include storage containers and even indoor plants to add some green to your bathroom.
