The first step in planning a bathroom remodel is to determine what your vision of the design is in terms of how you want the bathroom to look and function. You can plan out the remodel with the help of TotalTech Arizona's design experts.
Look at how much you will be renovating. Will you be replacing your sink, vanity, toilet, tub, shower? Take the cost of these new items into account when planning your budget. Are you expanding a shower stall? Adding a freestanding tub? Does your flooring need replacing? Will you be adding architectural elements such as wainscoting, new window, door, and baseboard trim? Does your bathroom need to be gutted to the studs and new drywall installed? All these factors need to be determined in the planning stage. TotalTech Arizona experts can help you every step of the way in planning the bathroom of your dreams.
Choose a color scheme that suits your tastes beginning with a main color along with accent colors to complement the overall look. You'll need to consider color when choosing wall paint, tile, cabinetry, and textiles such as rugs, towels, and curtains, and wall decor. You don't want your floor or shower tiles to clash with your paint color.
Are you replacing your sink and shower/tub fixtures? If so, determine what fixtures you need including rough-in valves if replacements are required. Many people also choose to coordinate bathroom accessories such as the towel bars, toilet paper holders, shower rods, robe hooks, grab bars, etc. with the finish and style of their plumbing fixtures for a more cohesive look. Make a list of what fixtures you need.
Do you need to move or update electrical wiring or relocate plumbing pipes? Are you adding extra electrical wiring for towel warmers, baseboard heating, additional outlets, or radiant flooring? Make sure you have accurate measurements for electrical and plumbing and know if any need to be repaired or replaced during the remodel.
Decide what lighting fixtures you will need along with location. Most bathrooms will need at minimum vanity lighting and an overhead ceiling light. Additional fixtures may include a shower ceiling light, ventilation fan, task, or accent lighting.
Where will you keep your bath linens, toiletries, and bathing essentials? Do you need to expand or add a closet, shelving, or cabinets to create new or additional storage space? Now's the time to plan to add some storage and organization options even if they are as simple as some bathroom shower caddies or storage bins.
