Before you start picking finishes, colors and fixtures, there are a few important things worth thinking about first.
1. Start with what isn’t working.
What do you wish you could change about your current bathroom? Maybe there isn’t enough storage, the bathtub rarely gets used, or the space simply doesn’t work well for your routine. Start with those everyday frustrations.
2. Think about how you use the space.
Your bathroom should be designed around your lifestyle. Consider who uses the bathroom, what your daily routine looks like and which features would make the space more comfortable and functional.
3. Think beyond appearance.
The materials and surfaces you choose need to work in a room that deals with moisture, cleaning and everyday wear. Look at more than just color and style. Consider maintenance, durability and how the materials will fit into your everyday life.
4. Plan your storage.
Where will your shampoo and other essentials go? Storage is easy to overlook when you're focused on the overall design, but the right shelves and storage solutions can make a noticeable difference in how organized your bathroom feels.
5. Think about the years ahead.
A bathroom remodel is a long-term investment in your home. Consider what will make the space comfortable and easy to use not only now, but in the future. Features that improve accessibility, convenience and everyday comfort can be worth planning for from the beginning.
A professional consultation can help you understand your options and determine what makes sense for your space, your needs and your style.
Save this checklist for when you're ready to start planning — and share it with someone who’s thinking about remodeling their bathroom.
