Is your bathroom ready for a makeover?

Remodeling your bathroom is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home. The simple act of updating those outdated fixtures, hideous garden tub, and archaic pink countertops can pay dividends when you’re ready to sell. 

Our expert tips for remodeling your bathroom

1. Plan ahead! Get your list of recommended vendors together and contact them to pull your timeline together. We are always last in the process and have encountered clients that are often surprised and frustrated by lead times. Doing your research and prepping your space during construction makes the shower install go smoothly!

2.Visit showrooms (stop by ours any time!), browse Pinterest boards, professional Houzz profiles, and related Instagram hashtags to get an idea of what you like and don’t like.

-3- Next decide on whether you want to expand the footprint of your bathroom. Having expert advice can help guide you in the best ways to move forward with reconfiguring or expanding your bathroom space. We have professional contacts in all kinds of industries and would be happy to put you in touch with someone that can work closely with you to get the job done right. 

4. In creating your plan, decide whether the garden tub stays or goes. A popular replacement for the giant laundry hamper taking up real estate in your bathroom is to upgrade to a large shower stall. Visit our showroom for examples of popular layouts. 

5. Show off the details! If you’ve gone the extra mile and installed fancy new tile, don’t hide it with pattern glass or a shower curtain. Go with a clear glass with minimal hardware to showcase the tile selection. Frameless shower enclosures also make a space feel open and large while allowing for easy cleaning.

6. Leave room for upgrades. Pairing specialty handles to your plumbing fixtures is an easy way to really pull the space together. Light things up with the right kind of lighting! If you’re looking for something that is decorative and practical, you may consider mirror lighting. Mirroring an entire vanity wall gives your bathroom a modern feel while maximizing the overall space. Last, but certainly not least, don’t forget to protect your shower investment with a water protectant coating. Nothing makes your bathroom look ‘unattended to’ like water spots or hard-water build up. Ask us about our favorite products for cleaning and caring for your shower glass!
