Things To Think About When Planning A Bathroom

• As with all remodeling projects in your home,
  proper planning can help ensure that you get the
  bathroom of your dreams, and avoid making any
  number of mistakes each of which could end up
  costing you dearly to have repaired or altered.
• Here are some of the most important things to
  think about when planning a bathroom remodel
• Setting a budget
• No remodeling project can even get off the ground
  without a proper budget in place, and you must
  carefully and honestly assess your funds before
  deciding upon the scale of the remodel. Where
  possible, try to have an extra 10-20 of your
  overall budget available for unexpected expenses
  that may crop up during the project, too.

• Deciding upon the scale of the remodel
• Once your budgets in place, you can start
  thinking in realistic terms as to the scale of
  the remodel. This should involve evaluating the
  existing space and deciding what, if anything,
  you want to keep, and whether any demolition work
  will be needed.
• Choosing a style
• Will you be opting for a sleek and contemporary
  bathroom, a quirky one with ornate fixtures, a
  child-friendly space, or a minimalistic and
  purely functional room? Thinking about who will
  be using the space can help you decide upon a
  style, and looking at design ideas online or in
  showrooms can give you inspiration.

• Select the flooring and wall coverings
• Talk to a remodeling company about floor and wall
  covering options, as they will have the best idea
  as to which materials are water-resistant or
  anti-slip, for example.
• Decide upon the fixtures and finishes
• Fixtures and finishes in any remodel should never
  be an afterthought, so as soon as youve decided
  upon the design and scale of your new bathroom,
  you should take plenty of time to choose the
  right fixtures and finishes for the space.

5

• Go through your lighting options
• If you have plenty of natural light in your
  bathroom, you may not need much artificial
  lighting, but if you dont have that advantage,
  you must think about lighting that serves a
  purpose both from a practical and aesthetic
  standpoint.
• Assess your plumbing needs
• If youre working with an experienced local
  remodeling company, they will be able to assess
  the remodels plumbing needs, and talk you
  through any major work that might have to be
  carried out. If you want the layout of your
  bathroom to change, the pipework may dictate how
  much you can change it, and you may also want to
  think about swapping to energy efficient bathroom
  components, too.

• Assess your electrical needs
• Again, if youre working with a remodeling
  company or even a general contractor, they will
  have access to qualified electricians who can
  assess the extent of electrical work required for
  the project.
• Installing solutions for storage
• Good storage can help save space and make a small
  bathroom feel bigger, and thankfully there are
  plenty of innovative and functional storage
  solutions to choose from nowadays.

7

• Understanding building codes and obtaining
  permits
• One of the most compelling reasons to hire a
  general contractor to remodel your bathroom, is
  because they will take care of all of this for
  you. They will make sure that all building
  regulations and codes are adhered to and that all
  necessary permits and approvals are gained well
  in advance of any work being carried out.
• The last few steps in planning a successful
  bathroom remodel, are to choose the materials to
  be used, and establish an approximate timeline.
  Fortunately, with an experienced remodeling
  company on hand to help, these steps and all of
  those listed above can be effortlessly achieved,
  and you can get the bathroom youve always dreamt
  of, with minimal fuss.
