Have you ever looked at your bathroom and wish it looked a little different, or maybe a little more modern? Maybe you've wanted a larger tub, a larger shower, or maybe you wanted to add more room so that you can have a shower and a tub as two separate components.
Whatever your aspirations may be, bathroom planning, you'll want to know how much space you have to work with, what components you want to put in it, and what budget you have to work with. When putting together a budget, it's a good idea to get a few quotes from local contractors so that you have an accurate idea of the cost. Once the budget is set, planning is complete, and you are ready to get started, you can create the bathroom of your dreams.
Current Space Or Add To It?
When bathroom planning, one of the first things you'll want to decide is how much space you need to do what you want. If you want to install larger bath and shower components, or separate shower and tub components, you may need more room. You can do this by knocking out a wall or doing whatever you have to do. Be sure to figure in the expansion when you're getting bids and planning your budget. The room you have available to expand into is going to be your main concern. If your bathroom is on the outside edge of the house, you should be able to expand into the yard. If you don't have the room you need, you'll probably have to go back to the drawing board with your bathroom planning.
Components
After you have a solid plan in place, it's time to do some arranging. Where are you going to put the toilet, tub, sink, shower, and anything else you want in there? When you pick out the bathroom components, think about the style you want to go with like modern, classic, or country.
Definitely stick with the style you choose. Keep everything looking clean and professional by sticking with one look. Just have fun with it, as bathroom planning is a blast. The best part comes, though, when you're all done and you can finally look at your finished product and know that you planned it all by yourself.
