A Handy Checklist to Use Before You Remodel Your Bathroom
As with all other home improvement projects you must be organised and approach the work that has to be done with a plan in mind. It's an exciting adventure that can be as successful as you want if you follow a checklist of things to do before you get started. Keep in mind that renovations are time-consuming, can be costly, and are overwhelming if you don't plan ahead and use common sense with your ideas.
- You should develop a budget that encompasses the entirety of your project from start to finish. Be sure to plan for the unexpected so that you won?t be surprised if a toilet needs to be moved or your lighting needs to be rewired for efficiency.
- ?Determine how much time you?ll have to do a complete rework of your bathroom if you are making some major changes. If you're working with a professional contractor, ask for a timeframe for his work so that you can make arrangements to have tradesmen in your home.
- Have a plan in mind for the changes that you want to make. Will you add a new freestanding bath or a steam shower? You may want to explore the options that you have for these new elements in your bathroom so that you can compare features and prices. You should design your bathroom with a new look in mind if you're tired of what you have now, and of course functionality that makes it easy to bathe or dress for work each morning.
- You will need exact measurements of the space available for the bath or shower unit that you want to install. Notice where your plumbing and electrical connections are and make notes of any changes that need to be made. Get professional help if you can?t do the work yourself. With these measurements in mind you can confidently shop for new items that will update your bathroom.
- Consider changing door handles, lighting fixtures, and drawer pulls as an economical way to change the look of your bathroom. Also think about adding a bidet, new taps, and modern shower heads that can improve the overall decor of your bathroom.
- You must also remember to think about new cabinetry, the storage area that you want, and the shelving that you will need for all of your accessories and grooming aids. Keep everything within reach especially of your freestanding bath; consider a repurposed piece of furniture to hold your soaps, shampoo, and towels so that they will be easily reachable whilst you're bathing.
- Polish off your project with some new towels, bath mats, and hardware that holds toilet paper, robes, and other linens that you will be using. These accessories can add a personal touch to your bathroom and give it a comfortable feel that makes bath time more enjoyable. With mirrors, artwork, or some of your special collections on display this new bathroom can be your peaceful place at the end of the day.
