Here are our top tips to ensure a great bathroom renovation that come from years of experience in the bath renovation space!
A bathroom makeover is an exciting project but in order for it to go smoothly and stay within budget, it requires a clear plan.
Bathroom Renovation Goals
Bathroom makeovers can be messy, time-consuming, and expensive if you don’t figure out what it is you are trying to accomplish before you start.
-What works in the current set up and what does not
-Do you like to bath, shower or a combination of both?
-Is there a need for more than one sink in your busy space or does one fit the bill?
-Do you mind cleaning or do you prefer surfaces that require less upkeep?
-Is saving water a concern and focusing on water saving options a good idea?
-Do you need a warm or less slippery floor?
-Is your toilet up for the job? Is the height convenient?
-Are you considering styles that will age well with a renovation? (timeless looks)
-Is there proper lighting in the bathroom, mirrors, ventilation?
Bathroom Layout
Is there enough space to move around the current bathroom with the size of accessories and available space?
In the new bathroom renovation make sure to think about a layout that will keep a sense of calm. In other words, do not opt for the largest items (think vanities, tub sizes) if it will be too cluttered.
Also, if you do not use a tub, do not get one! Some believe it may affect the return on investment of their home without a tub, but the reality is it many people prefer a shower these days and if your family will not use a tub there is little reason to get one (plus this will leave more room for a larger shower in the layout)!
The key aspect of a bathroom layout is to consider how you use it and if its flow works well for your current needs. If not, now is the time to consider changes.
Bathroom Lighting
Good lighting is an essential part of a practical bathroom. Ensure that task lighting and mirror lighting is correctly placed to avoid throwing shadows. Mood lighting is a great way to create a more relaxing atmosphere.
One of the most popular and cost effective lighting options for a bathroom continues to be potlights which give great lighting and have an option to dim when the mood is to relax.
Low Maintenance Bathrooms
Durable and easy-to-maintain materials are going to be your best choice over time for a bathroom renovation.
Consider acrylic which looks amazing and also has added durability, versatility, heat retention, and smoothness… with an affordable price tag. There’s a reason this tub/shower material is a favourite on the market with its added ease of maintenance.
Acrylic systems also come with wall panels that are also the easiest to care for product on the market for your bathroom (and can even look like tile if you choose)!
