DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR BATHROOM PROJECTS
- Most bathrooms are small and efficient. Some bathroom remodel shift layouts to maximize space. Moving plumbing can add thousands of dollars to the project costs, but it is the time to consider making a change while you are doing the rest of the bathroom.
- Expanding into adjacent spaces can enlarge a bathroom. Sometimes that is a closet or taking part of an adjacent room to enlarge the bathroom.
- When completing a full gut and redo the design style can be changed. Knowing what you like and don’t like and having inspiration projects can help you to communicate what you like and don’t like.
- Continuity of finishes and style is important. Choosing plumbing fixtures, accessories, lighting, and door hardware that matches or is complimentary is important to creating a cohesive look.
- To tile or not to tile. Tile is long lasting, relatively easy to maintain, and slow and time consuming to install which makes it very expensive. Solid surfaces offer an alternative to tile that doesn’t have grout and can cost a little less.
