Bathroom remodeling projects are generally among the most efficient and affordable types of home remodeling projects. They're also a proven way to substantially increase the value of your home. Whether you're installing new tile flooring, a walk-in shower, or new sinks and countertops, a well-planned bathroom remodeling job can work wonders. Of course, making the right decisions can seem like a challenge at first, but by considering these steps and working with our licensed design team, anyone can enjoy a successful bathroom remodel.
Bringing Your Bathroom Remodeling Ideas to Life
To get started, you could browse through your favorite magazines, ask your friends for their insight, or attend that home show coming to your town for possible inspiration into your own bathroom remodeling plans. Once you've decided which ideas are worth further exploration, we can help you choose the elements of your bathroom you'd like to modify. Structural consequences can have a drastic effect on a homeowner's decision-making processes when it comes to bathroom remodeling.
There are two ways to approach this part of the planning process. One is to decide up-front what plumbing fixtures (tubs, showers, toilets, sinks) you plan to move or replace, we can then draft the plans based on your item selections. Basically, we will design your new bathroom so that all of your chosen fixtures will fit perfectly. The upside is that you will have the bathroom that you always wanted. The downside is that this could mean moving walls and plumbing installations, and both add costs.
The second option is to ask us to advise you on what your fixture choices should be dimension-wise, based on leaving your current plumbing as is. The limitation with the latter option is that you would have to choose bathtubs, cabinets, showers, etc. that work within the constraints of the existing space. The positive side is that you will save money by not moving your existing plumbing sources.
Thinking Practically
Perhaps you would prefer a large walk-in shower and are not concerned with a bathtub at all. Maybe you're considering a Jacuzzi tub with a slightly smaller walk-in shower. Consider the needs of the people who will use the bathroom in question when determining the remodel design. For example, the detail, design and purpose of the bathroom remodel will likely be different for a master bathroom versus a guest bathroom.
If your children are fans of bubble baths and rubber duckies, it probably isn't wise to eliminate your bathtub. If you and your spouse don't ever plan on taking long baths and would much rather optimize the art of creative showering concepts, then ditch the tub and focus on creating your dream shower for two.
Homeowners often complain about the lack of cabinet space in their bathrooms. When working with us in the design phase, be sure to mention the need for extra storage if it applies to your family. There are all sorts of creative ways to incorporate tons of added storage without compromising the integrity of your new master bathroom design. The goal is simple: add all the elements you know you would use, and eliminate those you would not.
Surface Aesthetics
Maybe you are thinking that all your bathroom really needs is a facelift. Changing just the flooring or vanities or fixtures could be all you need to achieve the look that you desire for your bathroom. Little touches like custom colors and design elements can really make your bathroom unique.
Tile
A popular trend today in home construction is tile work. Used in bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, etc., tile work is a great way to create a classic new look for virtually any room or floor.
Homeowners can choose from materials such as ceramic, stone, or marble and granite to create the right look for all rooms where they want to feature tile work. To ensure professional tile work in your home or business, contact us today. We have the experience in tiling and home remodeling required making any all your tile work look great and last a life time.
Freeing Up Space
Most people would say that they want the benefits of increased space in their new bathroom. Quite often, homeowners consider bathroom remodeling with the goal of "opening up" the space that's already there. This is best achieved with lots of glass and mirrors, but can also be accomplished with more intensive remodeling efforts like taking out walls and building add-ons. Installing or optimizing glass details and mirrors in a bathroom not only adds more light, it creates the illusion of a larger space.
Today, many couples are choosing master bathroom remodeling in order to make their bathroom more functional for two people to share, literally. No matter a couple's separate career or personal obligations, it's very common for both parties to need use of the bathroom simultaneously in the mornings and evenings. That's when a master bathroom outfitted with dual sinks, or even two showers, can really come in handy!
Heated flooring, dual and quadruple shower heads, wall-mounted televisions, theater sound, and lighting concepts with dimming options are also popular new remodeling options.
As far as plumbing hardware and electrical fixtures are concerned, oil-rubbed bronze, brushed nickel and bronze are the trendy thing to do. Brass has pretty much come and gone, and chrome is on its way out.
We will help you in tying everything together, we have an impressive amount of knowledge and experience in optimizing home spaces. We can either suggest new ideas for your bathroom if you're struggling on your own, or we can help you reaffirm that your remodeling choices are both logical and aesthetically pleasing.
Your new bathroom can start with a simple call to us today to help you choose the right direction for any of your home improvement needs!
Part of any smart bathroom remodeling plan is to put as much thought into what won't be seen as what will. Depending on how many people use the bathroom, or how many towels, cosmetics, and other toiletries you happen to own, you're going to need a corresponding amount of storage space to keep items handy without being in the way or diminishing the room's aesthetics. Bathroom vanities, shelving units, and cabinets tend to get lost in the shuffle far too often during a bathroom remodeling project, and many homeowners don't realize it until much later, when there's no place to put a fresh stack of washcloths or a waste basket.
A bathroom vanity design can become the focal point of a bathroom remodel, so put plenty of thought into what kind of aesthetic your want to represent. Many homeowners like to go with an old fashioned, European antique style look in their vanities, while others prefer a more metallic, modern look. The important thing is that your bathroom vanities bring out the best elements of your bathroom's design and colors, rather than clashing with them.
From a functionality standpoint, a vanity sink might be a good call, especially for a smaller bathroom. Similarly, try to think of ways to maximize storage capacity in your cabinets or open shelving units without detracting from the bathroom counter space or easy access to the shower, toilet, and sinks. The classic glass cabinet works great when it doubles as a mirror above the sink, and the wall space above the toilet can serve as a good location for a mounted storage cabinet, too. As your bathroom remodeling contractor we can advise you on the best way to optimize your bathroom cabinetry and vanities, and don't hesitate to give yourself a little more space than you might originally calculate. Households do tend to grow!
