The smallest of bathrooms can be ‘WOW’ and functional and luxurious if they are renovated with the right planning. This is, no doubt, considered one of the toughest renovations, but getting a choice of professionals who are not only qualified but also experienced makes this process much simpler. It is wiser to get this designed by a professional and make a list of all the different types of people you will need to renovate your bathroom, like an electrician, plumber, Mason, and so on. Working out a plan with the said designer and the other workers makes this project more realistic. It is advisable to decide your budget before starting the work.
Some small tips can be extremely helpful if this bathroom renovation project is undertaken.
- Take each detail into consideration and contact the professionals. You get a fair idea of how the bathroom will function and what it will look like. Spending on professionals is a sensible step, as you may not renovate your house every day.
- Decide on the tiles, keeping in mind the ‘easy-care’ factor. Glazed or porcelain tiles can work well for the low maintenance factor. Eliminate the idea of opting for stone tiles that are porous, like limestone, as they tend to absorb spills and drips easily. If you make this choice, you need to ensure that the sealing is done right.
- The wiring needs replacement if it has been used for a long period of time. Most bathroom renovations tend to overlook this factor. This might be dangerous due to short circuits or other electrical problems.
- There are different types of sinks available, like pedestal sinks, vessel sinks, and so on. Decide on the specific sink that fits your requirements.
- Plan out the storage, as this gives the bathroom a neat and ‘no clutter’ look and feel.
- You can opt for decorative lighting even in the bathroom. The bathroom was not given its due importance once upon a time, but with the changing times, you see bathrooms as places that are well decorated and appropriately lit up. This is one place where you can get your ‘me time’.
- You might want a simple design for your bathroom, and spending a little bit extra on hi-fi materials is no sin. You need to remember that luxury comes with a price.
