Be aware of how much it costs to remodel a bathroom. Before you launch any remodeling project you should be realistic about how much money you’re going to have to invest in this project.

-
Decide what type of flooring you want at the beginning. Will it be laminate, hardwood, or traditional tile flooring? Yes, this should already be determined before you start focusing on other elements of the remodeling project. We are here to help.

Avoid making the toilet the first thing you see when you open the bathroom door. Believe it or not where you place the toilet is important. Let’s be honest, the toilet isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing. Also, if you want your bathroom to have that modern spa like vibe then making the toilet the focal point can kill the vibe.
-
Plan out your lighting scheme. Gone are the days when a simple ceiling light was the only source of illumination. Modern bathrooms use a variety of lighting sources to ensure that your bathroom is well light. Use layers of recessed, ambient, and decorative lighting.
-
Add functionality. Not only should your bathroom be well designed but it’s important to add functionality. If you are working with a limited amount of space, you might consider installing the bathroom sink in the corner. This allows your family to be able to easily navigate the area. Know important measurements like the size of the bathtub and how much space needs to be allotted for the toilet.
Yes, by adhering to just these few tips even a novice can navigate through a bathroom renovation project like a professional!
