Factors That Can Make or Break Your Bathroom Remodel

Bathroom renovations are among the most expensive home improvement projects. That’s why you should carefully plan this type of remodel. After all, it can improve your comfort and increase the value of your home. 

It is important to note that there are several factors that should be considered before proceeding with your project. In today’s post, Maris Home Improvements shares some of the major considerations that can affect your bathroom remodel.

Layout

Creating a bathroom layout is an important step of the remodeling process. In this stage, you have to consider how well your current bathroom works. If there are any issues with the current layout, write them down and discuss with your contractor. Ensure you have the correct measurements of your bathroom space so that everything will fit properly.

Materials

The materials you select for your bathroom remodeling project are part of the foundation of your bathroom design. That said, choose appropriate materials for your flooring, countertops, cabinets, fixtures and other special features you want to add. Try to achieve a balance between function and aesthetics.

Lighting

Despite its importance, lighting is frequently overlooked in bathroom remodels. To avoid mistakes and to ensure your space will be sufficiently lit, include lighting in your top priorities. When it comes to bathroom lighting, layering is key. There are three types of lighting to consider for your bathroom — ambient, accent and task. To properly illuminate your bathroom, it’s best to use a combination of these three types of lighting.

Ventilation

While it’s nice and fun to install a new shower or vanity in your bathroom, keep in mind that ventilation should also be prioritized during your remodel. Ventilation is especially important if you can’t install a window in your space. Without proper ventilation, mold and mildew could grow in your bathroom and cause several problems.
