Enjoy Greater Function With Your Bath Remodel
A bath remodel does not have to be an overwhelming, huge project. Sometimes a bath remodel can be done in stages. Possibly, a stage or two is all someone needs to add something they have always wanted or change something that has never been quite right.
With the current economic conditions, we have seen a trend where homeowners to appreciate their homes more than ever. It also has prompted people to look at change with a more critical eye. Do we really need to move? Do we want to move? Are more common questions these days.
If you like your neighbors, or like your neighborhood or the area in general, a bath remodel project may be the first step in creating a “new home” in your existing home.

Create a list of the elements in your bathroom you like or dislike. In doing so, you are actually creating the foundation of your bath remodel plan. It may be modest. Or, when creating the list, you may find larger, more challenging bath remodel ideas. Your only limitation is your creativity.
Your Bath Remodel – Consider The Little Things First
A complete bath remodel project may not be the answer for you. Depending on budget and floor plan, a bath remodel project can take on nearly any dimension. When you are considering the changes you may want, start with the small things. You may find your bath remodel project doesn’t require a huge number of changes. Little by little, you can identify the changes most significant to you. Consider the following to start the conversation –
– New tile/pattern
– Install a new vanity
– Change the height of your vanity
– Add a separate make-up counter
– Install new mirror(s)
– Add mirrors
– Install new fixtures (towel bars, robe hooks)
– Consider new accent and decorative lighting
– Add new counter tops
– When practical add double sinks
– Install a tiled tub/shower surround
– Add tile floors
– Consider heated tile floors
– Add a jetted tub
– Remove a tub and create a walk in shower stall
