How to Remodel a Bathroom

Remodeling your bathroom is an investment in your home’s value and functionality. If you’re looking for bathroom upgrade ideas or need help with the entire process, Bath, Kitchen & Tile can help. With the right planning to guide you, a bathroom remodel project can avoid costly mistakes and achieve a functional result. Let’s learn how.

Step 1: Planning a Bathroom Remodel

Before you swing a hammer, it’s important to map out your goals and create a solid plan:

Define your goals and needs: Are you seeking a bigger shower, more storage or an updated modern style? Clearly identifying what matters most will guide every decision.
Establish a realistic budget: As you plan your spending, factor in potential overruns and prioritize your must-haves over your nice-to-haves.
Create a timeline: Depending on the scope, a bathroom remodel can take two to three months. Be realistic about potential delays, especially when ordering custom products.
Gather inspiration: Flip through magazines, browse Pinterest and explore online product pages to create a mood board that captures your style.

Step 2: Bathroom Layout and Space Planning

Smart space planning is key to a functional bathroom. Be sure to:

Assess your space: Measure accurately, noting plumbing and electrical locations.
Explore common bathroom layouts: Each layout has pros and cons depending on the size and shape of your bathroom.
Consider traffic flow and functionality: Ensure comfortable movement and easy access to fixtures.
Factor in accessibility needs: If you’re planning to age in place, think ahead with features like grab bars and comfort-height toilets.

Bathroom, Kitchen & Tile’s free design service can help you create the perfect layout for your space and lifestyle. 

Step 3: Design and Style Selection

Now comes the fun part — designing your bathroom:

Showcase your style: Find a style that reflects your personal taste.
Choose colors, materials and finishes: Select durable, water-resistant materials.
Layer your lighting: Combine ambient, task and accent lighting.

Step 4: Fixture and Product Selection

Your fixtures and finishes set the tone for your entire remodel:

Sinks, toilets, showers and tubs: Explore different styles and features.
Cabinets and countertops: Choose materials that complement your theme.
Energy-efficient and water-saving options: Make your bathroom eco-friendly.

Step 5: Installation and Project Management

It’s time to turn plans into a reality! There may be some aspects you can take on yourself, but it’s always best to leave plumbing, electrical work and major construction to licensed professionals.
