Smart Bathroom Remodeling Strategies

Vanities Nov 13

Getting a bathroom to remodel, in order to make that space more appealing, and have better comfort is something most people would say yes to. Whether one wants to install a better vanity, upgrade their fixtures, and get other amenities, it can all be done. However, just like anything else in life, one will have to play it smart so as to avoid making mistakes that will end up costing them a whole lot of money. Plan It Out This is true of any sort of remodel. One should be sure that they make a plan, and stick to it. One should figure out how they want to change the space, what sort of materials they want to use, and what fixture they would like. If they want to install one of the great vanities they keep seeing in magazines, that should be planned too. In addition, having a strict budget in mind is also important, because remodels are the perfect occasion to overspend.

It’s best to spend some time figuring out exactly what one wants before hiring contractors. Indeed, this will make it less likely that one will be changing their mind after work has begun, as changing one’s mind may mean having to spend more. Same Footprint This is true for kitchen and bathroom remodels alike, but keeping the same footprint is a great way of avoiding incredibly high costs. Demolition and reconstruction are expensive ventures in it of themselves. Not only this, but during demolition, unexpected problems can arise, which will add even more to the already high cost. Still, there are a ton of changes one can make while keeping the same footprint.

One can replace a mirror with a deep medicine cabinet, replace their vanity with a pedestal sink, and install shower glass doors. Ventilation Having ventilation for one’s bathroom is very important, as this is what will ensure that excess humidity will be gotten rid of. This is a big issue since if it is allowed to stay, humidity can lead to mildew and mold, not to mention the annoying fogging of the mirror and making floors slippery. One should be sure to install a bathroom vent and a water closet fan that take air to the outside. Low-Cost Designs Having a soft color scheme is a great idea because it makes the space look amazing without making one commit to bold colors. Indeed, getting neutral colors for permanent items, like surfaces of walls and fixtures is the safe way to go. Still, one can add bold colors in the form of accessories.
