There's something special about a stunning bathroom. It makes you feel a bit fancy, happy and calm. Therefore, your bathroom should be a depiction of a real sanctuary.
This is because it's one room in your house that's visited multiple times a day and likely the room you and your family visit immediately you wake up and before crawling to bed.
Because of the frequent use, your bathroom needs more maintenance than other rooms in your home. If you feel like your bathroom no longer fascinates you or the environment is not one of comfort and relaxation, or has water damage, it might be time to consider a remodel. But before then, there are some things you need to put into consideration.
Here are five of them:
1. Budget
The cost of remodeling your bathroom is one of the most important considerations you should make. The size of your bathroom, the labor that goes into it as well as the quality of materials you want to include can significantly affect the cost of remodeling your bathroom.
Before beginning the project, therefore, you should examine how much goes into the project and how much you are able to spend.
2. Functionality and Style
Before remodeling your bathroom, have a clear overview of what you want it to look like. Consider things such as showers, tiles, paint color choices, tubs, vanities, among other things.
After the overview and research, you may decide to go with a specific feature or piece together the ones you like into an overall look for the room. Functionality is also crucial! Unless you are selling your property as a result of this remodel, I suggest that you choose what will make you happy. I have seen many new dumpsters in driveways of recently sold homes. New owners will want their home to now reflect them.
3. Ventilation, Lighting and Electrical
When deciding what you want your bathroom to look like at the end of the remodel, you should consider adequate lighting and ventilation. You should also check all the electrical rough-ins to decide whether they are adequate or need an upgrade. Different textures and finishes on the items you're going to install typically react differently to different light sources.
Windows should also be put into consideration here – how they let in sunlight helps in ventilation and affects the bathroom's atmosphere in warm or cold weather. Additionally, you can consider installing a Whisper quite ventilation fan. Fans allow air to circulate well so that mold is kept at bay, and they also reduce humidity and moisture.
4. Fixtures
When remodeling your bathroom, remodeling or repairing fixtures must also come into play. Avoid additional maintenance by having your shower doors coated with a clear coating for protection. Your bathroom's appearance can easily be modified by changing towel racks, cabinet pulls, faucets and the hardware.
Other changes that completely redefine your bathroom include changing shower sills, installing bathroom drawers rather than vanity doors, enhancing the lighting fixtures, as well as investing in wall-hung toilets. A new have feature in most master baths is a heated floor!
5. Reputable Contractor
Hiring a good designer speaks volumes about what your bathroom will look like at the end of the remodel. A reputable designer has enough experience in completing projects that range from a few minor updates to a complete bathroom remodeling.
A well-trained and experienced contractor is insured, bonded and licensed, and they know how to make your bathroom look more appealing. Additionally, they are also careful and attentive listeners who strive to bring their client's ideas and dreams into reality while respecting the customer's personal budget.
Bottom Line
A bathroom remodel can be an exciting opportunity to advance to the space you've always dreamed of. Nevertheless, doing it right calls for careful thinking about what you and your family require and want.
