Renovating Your Bathroom
New fixtures, new tub, and sleek countertops—your new bathroom will have
them all! Simple follow a few simple tips in this article to realize your dream
bathroom!
Planning
Renovating your bathroom can be a daunting and expensive task as it requires specialised trade services such as plumbing, tiling, and electrical work. Time, money and complexity are the biggest factors you’ll need to consider. To avoid cramping your bathroom, design a rough layout of your new bathroom by measuring the room's dimensions. A well-planned bathroom allows easy movement for the family members and ensures sufficient room for opening cabinets and storage. To get ideas, you could browse through a number of photographs and planning guides available online.
D.I.Y. versus Professional Renovators
The final analysis should be based on budget, function and style. Professional renovators can manage the entire renovation process for you, including organisation of all facets of the project for you from tile selection to the necessary trades. You could simply use their consultation services and track down the right tradesperson (such as plumbers, tile installers, painters and electricians) to do the job for you. If you are working within a limited budget and would like to make the changes yourself, read on to learn a few things about renovating your bathroom yourself.
Important Considerations
1. Budget
· Plumbing: Unless the layout of your bathroom isn't wholly functional,
try to keep the new fixtures in the same general location to minimize costs.
· Focus: Try to single out a feature where your money is put to its best
use. For example, you could replace an old vanity unit with a contemporary glass
and wood vanity with wall-mounted faucets. To balance the cost of this expensive
piece from the budget, you could select less expensive tub fixtures, floor and
wall tiles.
2. Functionality
Whether the bathroom is shared by a couple or the whole family, a few functional
tactics can help keep the bathroom from becoming a war room.
It can be quite helpful to employ the services of a professional designer to
maximise use of space and fine-tune the layout. If you do not wish to go to
this expense, remember the basic points of bathroom design — try to avoid
the placement of the WC opposite the entry door, allow plenty of room for the
shower-screen and entry doors to open freely, and allow plenty of space for
storage.
