The Basics of Bathroom Remodeling

 

Remodeling any part of your house is a challenge that needs planning and education. Selecting products, choosing colors and discovering patterns and textures are key elements of designing your new remodel, and it’s even more important when you’re tackling your bathroom remodel.

A bathroom contains so many different elements that need to be manipulated when you’re remodeling. The different components that make it up—toilet, vanity, sink, tub, lighting, plumbing and electrical—can be tricky to tackle yourself, so the first step is making sure that you have a professional that can perfect your bathroom without the stress and frustration from you. There are plenty of things you can do, however, to ensure that the entire bathroom remodeling process is seamless.

When choosing the products that are going to replace your old bathroom fixtures, one important thing to remember when you begin to start selecting is to plan ahead. Bathroom fixtures can take forever to be delivered, and sometimes that can hold up the process. If you plan on ordering all of your materials early, there won’t be any hold-ups when finishing your bathroom remodel. It’s better to be patient and plan ahead than get stuck with an incomplete bathroom because you ordered your toilet a week prior. Also, if you have your products all together and ready for installation, this gives you extra time to be sure it’s what you want. After all transforming your bathroom space is a big change and it has to conform to your design vision.

To combat backordered products or extensive wait times, check out local custom shops for anything you might need. These tend to have more options to choose from—whether tile, stone or marble—which aids your design process while also making the wait for your completed bathroom remodel shorter.

A tip that might seem a little off-the-wall is to remember to include storage shelves in your new shower design so you can store your hygiene products without the clumsiness of additional shower-hanging shelving. Let your contractor know that your new shower needs to have built-in shelving, which is easy to design and a snap to incorporate.

Two products that also shouldn’t be looked over when remodeling your bathroom are your lighting fixtures and the option to use accent tiles. Your lighting is easy to miss when you’re focusing so much of your effort on demolishing the floor or waiting on your new toilet, but don’t forget to update. You don’t want to have a completed bathroom with light fixtures that don’t gel with the space. Also, go for accent tiling. Mosaic and glass tiles can be a little expensive, however you don’t need a lot of make a statement!
