Thinking about a new bathroom? Ready to make your dream bathroom a reality?

Our in-house designers and projects managers are experienced and trained to maintain aesthetics while incorporating aging-in-place design elements to prepare for the future.

For this article, we wanted to share with you some things you should know and keep in mind before beginning a bathroom remodeling job.

• Renovations aren’t quick jobs. Sure, you’re not building a whole house, but there is a lot of work and time put into this job, so your bathroom will look flawless. At a minimum, a bathroom renovation will take four weeks, so be prepared for this room to be out-of-commission for a while. The more complicated a project, the longer it will take. Also, mistakes happen. The wrong sink could be ordered, or something wasn’t measured correctly, so the project will be a bit delayed.
• If you don’t have another bathroom, purchase a portable toilet and/or shower from a reputable company or even a contractor. Or, you can temporary rent another home/apartment until the bathroom is finished.
• Simplicity isn’t always simple. Many minimalist, clean, sleek ideas (no seams, no grout lines, no handles) end up being the more complicated projects to complete because the details during the building process need to be meticulously planned. Often, these “simple” ideas end up being the most expensive design options.
• Don’t try to do complicated renovations in the bathroom that you’ve never done before on your own. For example, tiling may look easy, but it is not. Being able to get the tile and grout lines straight, along with even grouting is a skill. Contractors plan the tile work in advance to know how many pieces will be needed, what sizes, and how they should be cut. Contractors also know how to tile floors, walls, and counters that are oddly shaped or uneven, and still have them look perfect.
• To save money, add decorative elements throughout the room that balance out more simple design ideas. Fancy tile work, cabinetry, and showers can be pricey. If you opt for more basic (more affordable) options, then you can buy a big fancy chandelier or gorgeous handles to make the bathroom still look dramatic and aesthetically different and pleasing.
• Stick to fewer patterns, designs or color choices. When you start choosing many different styles, there’s a good chance they may not look as good together as you would hope. You can always add more later (if needed).
