Some of the things you should know before planning a bathroom remodel are:
1. Create a Budget
Create a plan to outline what you want in a bathroom renovation. Consider the costs based on the change of fixtures, layout, adding vanity or a heated floor. Narrow the scope of your work to get a better understanding of what needs to be remodeled. Based on these considerations, you can plan your bathroom on a budget.
2. Bathroom Layout
For a well-designed bathroom, ensure the layout is designed in a way to have precise space between all the fixtures. Here are a few tips to remodel your bathroom layout:
Choose a vanity that is integrated with a washbasin and storage space. Check for a countertop that pairs with your bathroom theme. The height of the vanity should be decided based on wheelchair accessibility if necessary
Separate the toilet area from the rest of the room
Ensure enough space is present between the shower and bathtub area
Include shelves/cabinets to store toiletries
3. Choosing the Flooring Options
Bathroom floors should be selected based on water and humidity resistance. Along with easy maintenance, look for flooring options that reduces accidental falls. Consider the size of the floor tile as small tiles will look great for mid-sized bathrooms. Some popular options available are vinyl, ceramic and wood.
4. Choosing Other Features
Ensure your bathroom design plans include materials such as backsplash, lighting and cabinets.
Backsplash - Choose creative designs while installing backsplashes. You can use materials such as marble or tile based on your overall bathroom layout.
Lighting - Ensure proper lighting fixtures are available to meet your daily needs. Functional Use - Make sure the light fixtures are properly installed to help you with chores such as applying makeup or shaving. The light should not cast shadows on your face. Decorative Lighting - Choose low-hanging lights and a dimmer switch. You can also illuminate plants or artwork to increase the aesthetics of your bathroom.
Cabinets – Storage should be the main priority while designing cabinets. Ensure you have enough room to keep your toiletries and linens.
5. Glass Shower Doors
