Homeowners may consider a bathroom makeover if they have a growing family, want to increase functionality, or need a change of scenery. No matter the reason, these home renovation projects can be a fun endeavor to solve your bathroom woes! An upgraded bathroom will improve your living space and give you a safe space to relax and unwind after a long day. But what makes a bathroom makeover truly great?
Affordability
It’s never a good idea to start home renovations without first setting a budget that won’t break the bank, something doable that accounts for ‘just in case’ scenarios. Doing thorough research is essential before diving in; this research includes gauging accurate project costs, including the price of materials and what remodel type you want (full bath, primary bath, etc.). You can limit cost without sacrificing safety and aesthetics; working with existing layouts and opting to reuse materials are great places to start!
Design And Theming
The most fun part about any bathroom makeover – picking out materials and colors to suit your style! You cannot go far with your home renovation without a solid design.
Fixtures
Fixtures are often smaller details that enhance your bathroom’s look while being easy for the homeowner to use. Adding a chandelier, changing the existing light fixtures, upgrading your toilet, and changing the faucets and shower heads can spruce your space nicely!
Walls And Flooring
The noticeable changes to your bathroom are the walls and floors; without these changes, your bathroom won’t look much different than before. Choosing the correct design/size of bathroom tiles, opting for wood-designed vinyl, and adding accent panels to the walls can make a world of difference!
Shower/Tub Design
Whether you prefer the luxurious feel of a freestanding tub or crave a tiled, walk-in shower, updating these areas in your next bathroom makeover is a must! This is where you’re going to spend a lot of your time, so it’s necessary to make sure you’re comfortable and the tub and/or shower is easy enough to maneuver in without sacrificing space.
Functionality
You cannot fully enjoy a bathroom that isn’t functional for you, your family, or house guests. A bathroom that looks great should also be practical so you don’t experience buyer’s remorse when the makeover is complete.
Layout And Overall Flow
The layout of your bathroom refers to the placement of fixtures, storage, and other design elements you’ve chosen for your space. You’ll need to strategically place some of these items to make the process an efficient, seamless, and pleasant experience for those using this space.
Accessibility
Additionally, you want any guests to feel at ease while they’re in your home, and if you need special accommodations, you’ll need those as part of your bathroom makeover. Safety in the bathroom is crucial and can be possible with the inclusion of grab bars, non-slip surfaces, and adjustable fixture heights!
Ventilation
It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when planning a bathroom makeover, but proper ventilation is for your long-term safety and the well-being of your home. Well-placed exhaust fans and updated windows limit moisture and humidity that can cause damage and allow for fresh airflow to those using the restroom.
Your Bathroom Makeover Team
Hiring the right contractor for the job may be arguably the most crucial step in a home renovation, including bathroom makeovers. DIY projects can be cost-effective but are not recommended for large projects if you don’t have any contracting experience.
