3 Essential Factors to Consider in Your Bathroom Remodel

A bathroom remodeling project can be fun, but it’s also serious business! It requires a decent amount of forethought because your bathroom should have all the space, features and functions you need and want. A big part of reaching your goal is choosing a team you can trust to get the job done professionally and efficiently. But even the most hands-off homeowner will need to make certain crucial decisions to ensure the project’s success.

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Madison is here to break down the three factors you’ll need to keep top-of-mind.

Your Budget

It’s easy enough to Google how much the average bathroom remodel costs where you live; however, it’s important to recognize that every remodeling project is unique. How much you, the homeowner, should expect to spend will depend on the size of your space, the scope of your project and the quality of the materials you want to use, among other factors. Take as much time as you need to figure out how much you can realistically afford to spend, then ask local contractors for estimates before you get down to business.

Features & Materials

Once you have a general budget set, it’ll be a lot easier to choose the materials, features and accessories you can include. Keep in mind that bath and shower remodeling projects are meant to deliver a mix of form and function. It’s a hardworking space that you’ll be using on a daily basis, so it’s important to think about things like ease of maintenance and user experience. If you’re looking to stretch your remodeling dollar, make sure you communicate this with your designer. You’ll likely need to make some compromises, but a good remodeler should be able to give you the essentials plus some nice-to-haves without exceeding your budget.

Space & Layout

Perhaps the easiest way to plan a bathroom remodel is to use your existing layout as a guide. Look around your bathroom and think about your day-to-day routine. What features are lacking? What can use an upgrade? Are there any areas that give you difficulty? Are you satisfied with the size of the current space? Your answers to these questions will help your designer come up with new ideas and the best solutions to incorporate into your bathroom remodeling project.
