Where Should You Start With Your Bathroom Remodel Ideas?

People choose to undertake bathroom renovations for a plethora of different reasons. For some people, it is because they have a small bathroom and wish to make the space look larger. For other people, it can be as simple as wanting to change something within the bathroom to provide storage space, such as the vanity mirror.

Either way, to ensure your bathroom remodel ideas are fully realized, you need to have a plan at the outset of the project. Bathroom design and renovation are not just tasks anyone is qualified to do. Experienced and capable professionals bring your vision to life.

In order to help ensure that your bathroom renovation ideas turn out the way you envisioned, we want to share the three important aspects of successfully completing a remodeling project. Below, we discuss these three phases in detail and explain why each of them is important to a successful remodel endeavor.

 

Pre-Planning to Implement Your Bathroom Makeover Ideas 

In order to bring a project together in a thoughtful fashion, the first thing homeowners should do is begin the pre-planning process of remodeling their bathroom. The most important question you have to ask yourself is: what is the budget I have put aside for the remodel cost?

On average, the cost of a bathroom renovation in the United States is around $11,000. However, some projects are more budget-friendly than others. It is of the utmost importance that you know exactly how much you have to spend upfront so that you do not find yourself caught off guard financially later on in the project.

Another vital aspect of any home improvement to be considered is the available bathroom space. While significant changes can be made to the bathroom layout, it is not always possible to increase the overall square footage of the space. So you may want to convert your tub to a walk-in shower with a built-in showerhead to conserve on the small space. Knowing how much bathroom storage you have beforehand will be essential, both in terms of crafting your budget and your design choices.

Bringing Your Bathroom Design Ideas to Life

When you picture your fully realized master bathroom in its entirety, how much detail can you see in your head? Do you want to use mosaic tile or subway tile for your shower walls or tile floor? Do you know what types of light fixtures you want to use – pendant lights, perhaps? Would you prefer a pedestal sink or a double vanity? How important is natural lighting in terms of your makeover?

Bathroom remodeling is so much more than knowing where to put your toiletries or what type of shower curtain to buy. Putting together a new bathroom requires you to be familiar with paint colors and floor plans. We’re not saying you have to be an expert in any of these things – far from it, in fact. But you do have to be able to articulate your vision to your team. Think of it like directing a movie, in a way – the more you know about what type of floor tile and faucets you want, the more your renovation team can make the picture in your head a reality. Familiarizing yourself with the difference between a modern bathroom and something more traditional will help greatly simplify the process in the long run.

What Are Some Tips and Tricks That Are Useful to Know?

Regardless of what your overall vision for your master or guest bathroom is, there are some basic guiding principles that we have found to be helpful from our many years of successfully completing these types of renovations.

• Whenever possible, choose to build vertically instead of horizontally – it always makes the room look nicer, and it frees up a lot of space
• Natural lighting is always a plus – it adds a relaxing element to the room that most people find to be very calming
• If at all possible, consider going from two sinks to one and utilizing a floating vanity – you will save space and increase the elegance of the space tenfold
