Budget for More than the Actual Renovation Cost
Every renovator can attest to having dealt with unexpected issues arising during the renovation, increasing the costs beyond the budgeted amount. Ignoring those problems is never an option if you want the new bathroom to match your vision because they can interfere with the outcome. Anticipating them and crafting a plan to solve them is a better solution, especially since the remodelling results also touch on the efficiency of the new space. Preempting the issues is not challenging when you work with decorated remodelling experts like us. Our goal is to help you save more money by making the bathroom more energy-efficient, including water-saving features, and reducing the overall costs by solving problems before they become extensive. We also strive to increase the property value with the upgrade rather than boosting the aesthetic appeal only. We use our know-how and experience to assess the bathroom to determine vulnerable areas that could cause problems during remodelling. We also give accurate quotes to minimize budget inconveniences. That said, you can strive to set aside approximately 15% of the budget to cater to unexpected issues. Always predict extra work. For instance, if you want to change the shower head, the chances that you may have to deal with a leaky toilet are high.
Hide the Toilet
Keeping the toilet separate from the shower area is the best way of adding functionality without interfering with stylishness. Developing a wall or any other barrier makes the room classier. You can segregate the place using creative ideas that do not cost too much money. An example is arranging furniture to form a barrier without cramping up the space.
Practicality is Essential
Selecting suitable materials for bathroom surfaces is as essential as the craftsmanship that goes into the remodel. Remember that bathroom surfaces undergo rapid wear and tear. Any material that can handle such traffic and regular use is critical. That is why many homeowners choose porcelain tiles. They are resilient and cheaper. Maintenance is not too demanding when you use larger ones that require less grout. Select a material that matches the sink, but remember that porcelain is not the only ideal option. Several others, like stainless steel, have the same advantages. Examples are durability and resistance to staining. Others, like quartz and granite, are also ideal for bathroom countertops. Due diligence is necessary when identifying the specific material to use – not every type can suit your style and needs.
A Good Shower is Worthwhile
A good shower area tends to be more valuable than a tub in many homes. Therefore, replacing an existing tub with a modern shower is advisable. The cost of creating a large shower can be substantial but is often worth it. That is why one of the vital areas to tackle during a bathroom renovation is the shower. You get a return on investment over time as the space endures heavy usage and remains in perfect condition. We can create a suitable shower stall size depending on the number of people likely to use it. The smallest size we recommend is 4 by 4 feet, slightly more sizeable than the standard size in most homes. Note: the larger the shower, the more you will spend. Also, you should not remove a tub from the bathroom if it is the only one in the house.
Do not Forget about Water Efficiency
Every fixture in the bathroom should promote water efficiency, from toilets and showerheads, to faucets. The purchase price of such additions may be higher, but they can help you save a lot of money in the long run. Consider the flow rate of the showerheads. The volume of water per flush should be your weighing factor when choosing a toilet. Anything more than 1.28 gallons is not advisable. The quantity may seem insignificant, but it saves your family a lot of money. Faucets with aerators are also more suitable because they allow you to control the water flowing in the sink.
Ventilation and Lighting
Ventilation and lighting contribute to the overall functionality of the bathroom and should not be undermined. Common issues likely to arise in poorly ventilated bathrooms include mould and mildew growth and damage to fixtures or surfaces. If the excess moisture within the space from regular water usage does not find a way out, it causes extensive damage with time and costs too much to repair. You can install a fan during the renovation to ventilate the bathroom. We can help you choose a suitable type according to the other fixtures. For example, you can get a more powerful fan to counter a steam shower or invest in a humidity-sensing one for a larger bathroom. Ceiling lighting fixtures are not the only solution for a bathroom- you can consider others that provide better illumination. Sometimes standard ceiling lighting can shade some sections, so you should use them with other wall lights. For instance, you can have lighting strips on the medicine cabinet or the vanity for evenness. The toilet area can have recessed lighting. The presence of numerous lighting solutions creates room for your creativity to make the lighting decorating functional. You can take it a step further to invest in fixtures that allow you to control the brightness. Whatever you prefer, we are here to guide you.
