WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN RENOVATING YOUR BATHROOM?
Your bathroom should be your sanctuary; your place of peace after a long day. If you find yourself dreading spending time in this essential part of your house, it may be time to consider investing in some bathroom renovation updates. Bathroom renovations can range from simple cosmetic remodels, to plumbing updates, to redesigning the layout to help with functionality. No matter the scope of the project, renovating your bathroom often adds value to your home or property.
Before diving headfirst into a bathroom renovation, here are some points that we at Coastland Collective suggest that you should consider:
DEFINE YOUR GOALS AND BUDGET:
It’s important to set your goals and be realistic about your budget prior to starting any big renovation project. You want to ensure you allocate expenses for every aspect of your renovation including labor, materials, etc. Once clear goals are set you can easily align it to a budget that makes sense your household.
ASSES THE SPACE AND LAYOUT:
Considering the layout of your space is essential to the start of any bathroom renovation project. What layout design is going to give you the most space optimization? What part of the bathroom are you going to need more space in? Determine the placement of fixtures, storage solutions, and flow of space for functionality.
PLUMBING INFRASTRUCTURE AND ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
You always want to conduct a preliminary assessment of the plumbing infrastructure. This is going to allow you to better assess what plumbing aspects of your bathroom are outdated and where all of your pipe lines run. Many older houses tend to have cast iron pipes that corrode and deteriorate, leading to major leaking issues.
FIXTURE AND FLOORING SELECTIONS:
Selection of your fixtures and flooring can be some of the most fun components of renovating a bathroom. You’ll want to take into consideration which align with your aesthetic preferences while also keeping factors such as water efficiency and durability in mind. Flooring should be both visually appealing as well as practical. Opt in for flooring and surface materials that are water resistant, slip- resistant and easy to clean.
VENTILATION :
Placing proper ventilation throughout the room will prevent moisture build up and help maintain the longevity of the renovation.
HIRE A PROFESSIONAL:
While undergoing a DIY can be tempting, complex renovations often require professional expertise. In the long run, having an experienced team working on your home improvement can save you time and money.
