A bathroom renovation is an exciting thing to consider doing to your home.
You can create a wonderful room that suits your style and uses the space more efficiently. If done well it can also add value to your home.
But even with all of this possibility and potential there are some less exciting things to consider first. Think about the things featured in this guide before you rush into anything.
Budget
Bathroom renovations are renowned for being costly and time-consuming. You need to ensure you have the available money to fund such a transformation.
You need to sit down and work out how much you ideally have to spend. Having a strict budget will make it easier to decide what you should and shouldn’t include in your renovations.
Research the costs of labour work such as Shower Fitting Services and plumbers. You want to find a trustworthy company to complete the job to a high standard while still keeping within your budget.
Once you have worked out how much this work is going to cost, you can then work out how much to spend on tiles and fittings.
If there is an expensive item you cannot afford, such as a new power shower, shop around for discounts and cheaper alternatives to save you money.
Style and Functionality
We all desire a bathroom that looks like it came out of a magazine. But at the same time we also want it to be functional and work efficiently.
Start by thinking what kind of look and style you wish to achieve. Buy some interiors magazines or look online at what other people have achieved with their bathrooms.
Use these resources to inspire your design and help you start looking for appropriate decor and fittings. If you prefer, you could choose one central feature, such as the bath and design the rest of the bathroom around it.
Always consider the design and make sure it compliments the interior design you have in the rest of your home.
To make your bathroom as functional as possible, you should consider who is going to use it the most. That way you can include particular features such as additional storage to suit them.
If they don’t enjoy baths and prefer showers, it’s investing your money into a top quality shower rather than the bath. If they like to do their makeup and hair in the bathroom, it could be worth installing plenty of mirrors.
Ventilation
Every bathroom needs some source of ventilation to avoid damp and mould that can affect your health. It is something you need to have included in your renovation plans and should be installed by a professional.
The positioning needs to be right to allow a proper amount of airflow. It’s something that can easily be forgotten about during the process so keep it a priority during the planning stage.
With these things in mind, you should be able to create a budget-friendly bathroom that you can be proud of. Get planning early and research, research, research!
