Bathroom Renovations

The renovation process to get one, not so much.

You deserve a better bathroom—whether it’s through a quick touchup or a full remodel.

A new bathroom can be luxurious and you don’t have to incur high renovation costs, particularly if you are not going to change the floor plan or moving the plumbing.

Bringing your bathroom into the current age is worth it though. Figuring out a new bathroom layout, incorporating modern bathroom tiles, and making statements with majestic bathtubs is easy—with us and with this handy guide in mind. Here are our tricks to making your bathroom sparkle again.

STARTING POINTS

To start, focus on what matters. Keep the cost low!

“Consider practicality first and then move onto design,” recommends Oscar Barreto. Similar to our kitchen renovation advice, before you start tearing out walls or ordering custom fixtures think about how you and everyone else in your home will use the bathroom. How large is your space? Is it your space? You and your partner’s space? You and your family’s space? Are you the type that enjoys long soaks in the tub? Its primary needs (and any limitations) will dictate how it’s designed.

WHAT’S THE SCOPE?

Start by figuring out what you would truly need to achieve the bathroom of your dreams. Sometimes you don’t need an actual “renovation” so much as the strategic swapping of fixtures. If the space just needs a facelift, adding details like vintage rugs, art, new lighting fixtures, or even something as simple as a new paint color can do the trick. But sometimes, that’s just not enough.

Decisions like tearing down walls, rearranging plumbing, and adding new flooring require the right team. In general, once you start making large construction changes, you can expect your budget to rise. But it’s money well spent—when it comes to plumbing or electrical work, DIY isn’t the way to go. Leave the construction to the professionals of Old World Construction BO Corp.

LAY IT OUT

If you decide to go with the full renovation route, it’s time to start considering what should go where. After all it is your home, you shouldn’t have to settle for a bad bathroom layout. Let’s face it—you’re in the bathroom every single day, and it has a relatively small square footage compared to the rest of your home. Maximizing space with the proper layout is of the utmost importance.

In order to find the perfect configuration, think about what you find difficult in the current space. No space to spread your products? Poor lighting? Think about a bathroom you like and try to identify what worked in those particular spaces. In the planning phase, there are no wrong answers, so challenge the traditional ways of placing things and see if you stumble upon something new.
