DIY Bathroom Remodeling Considerations

Remodeling a bathroom is a major undertaking. Many DIY enthusiasts shy away from the complex plumbing and electrical work involved in such a project. Tackling this task yourself is a great way to save money, but if you don't go into it well prepared, you could easily end up dissatisfied with the outcome. This kind of work isn't something you want to figure out on the fly either, especially considering the need to minimize the amount of time such an essential space is out of commission. To best set yourself up for success on a DIY bathroom remodeling project, be sure to consider the following tips from HC Kitchen Cabinet of San Francisco, CA!

Set a Realistic Budget

A quick search online can provide you with an average cost for a bathroom remodel, but every project is unique. This is a room you will use everyday and not an occasion to cut corners and pinch pennies. At the same time, however, you don't want to get in over your head and realize halfway through that things are going to end up much more expensive than you can afford. Once you have a clear vision of your custom bathroom in mind, it may help to take the project to a few contractors for an estimate. Getting a ballpark idea of what it would cost them to bring to life can give you a baseline to work off of.

Layout the Space

How do you currently use your bathroom and how do you plan to use it? If you are someone who is all business and quickly in and out, your needs will be very different from a person who likes to luxuriate in their own personal spa for hours on end. In either case, in order to maximize space, carefully planning ahead for how things will lay out is essential. Focus on balancing both function and aesthetics. A good general guideline is to arrange the room so that the toilet is not the first thing you see when you step through the doorway.

Consider the Future

How will your bathroom needs shift over the next several years as your family living situation changes? Do you plan to start working on your first baby soon, or are the kids practically grown up already and taking steps to move out of the house? Can you imagine performing any further remodels to your home down the road that could potentially create an additional bathroom space? It's also entirely possible that you intend to sell this house in five years or so, in which case your remodel should place extra emphasis on increasing your property value.

Start with the Tub

The shower/tub area is the star of any bathroom. Determine whether you want a shower, bathtub, or both, pick out a style you like, and work on designing the rest of the room around it.

Select Your Features

These days the possibilities to customize your bathroom are nearly endless. You can opt for luxury features like heated floors, softer lighting, a walk-in shower, and so much more, or prioritize the overall interior design by selecting the perfect vanity, countertops, cabinets, paint, and tile. Don't ignore factors that are often overlooked either, such as storage space and ventilation. Whatever "convenience" means to you, this is your chance to fully realize it.
