Bathroom

The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the home, which is why many homeowners choose to upgrade or remodel their bathroom. Updating your bathroom with walk-in showers, freestanding bathtubs, luxurious lighting, and intricate tile can help create a calming oasis.

The Basics of Bathrooms

Redesigning a bathroom depends on your style, space, and budget. Bathroom renovations can range from a fresh coat of paint to a complete gutting, but the most common renovations you should make to your bathroom are:

  • Cabinets
  • Countertops
  • Flooring
  • Lighting
  • Paint
  • Plumbing
  • Shower
  • Vanity

It’s recommended that you set aside between 5% and 10% of the value of your home for your bathroom remodel, which means that most complete bathroom renovations will cost between $10,000 and $30,000. However, homeowners on a budget can do a minor remodel for under $3,000.

Remodeling a bathroom can include dozens of updates, but you’ll be surprised how small changes can transform a bathroom. Some inexpensive bathroom upgrades you can do yourself include:

  • Add new lighting
  • Replace outdated mirrors and add a mirror frame
  • Paint or refinish cabinets
  • Paint or add wallpaper
  • Update faucets
  • Update fixtures

These small updates can do wonders for your bathroom, but if you want to remodel your bathroom or do a complete upscale renovation, it’s best to leave the work to the professionals. A professional contractor will come to your home and give you an estimate. After that, you set a date for your bathroom remodel, and your contractor will take care of the rest.
