Remodeling a bathroom can be a lot. Here’s how to do it well.

Remodeling a bathroom can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be! Are you unsure where to even start? Magazi Kitchens & Baths is here to help you make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. To get the most out of your project, read this brief guide on how to remodel a bathroom.

Establishing Bathroom Remodel Goals

What kind of bathroom are you remodeling, and what do you want it to become? Powder rooms do not have showers or tubs, but full bathrooms do. Secondary bathrooms, also known as three-quarter bathrooms, are there more for utility than luxury.

Perhaps you want to turn your current bathroom into a different kind of bathroom, or you might have another goal. Perhaps you want to change the layout, add specific features, or just renew the materials, electrical work, etc.

Planning the New Bathroom Design

Once you know your goals, it’s time to get into the big picture of the design. This part is where it gets fun. All full bathrooms have a shower, tub, or shower and tub combination, a sink, and a toilet. There are ways to make the bathroom more or less compact. For example, if a kitchen sink is nearby, you can do without a bathroom sink if you really want to save. You could also contain the toilet in a separate water closet and include both a shower and bathtub in one “wet room” area. As for the layout, it all depends on how you want to use the space and what is most efficient.

Budgeting for a Bathroom Remodel

It’s best to get a few quotes from trusted local bathroom remodelers to understand what a reasonable price would be for your type of bathroom remodel in your area. This way, you can figure out how to finance your project and where you can splurge or save.

Splurging vs. Saving

The best way you can save is to do the following:

Keep the existing layout
Replace only essential materials with reliable, budget-friendly materials

However, some goals or features might be non-negotiables. It is fair to splurge where you want to! In the long term, it’s best to remodel a bathroom so it will remain timeless for as long as possible.
