The bathroom is the place on which the mood for the whole day can depend because it is here that, after waking up, you wash your face and tune in to the positive. Therefore, it is very important that you are surrounded by decor that pleases your eye.
Budget
As soon as you have the idea of renovating your bathroom, you should consider doing research on the Internet and calculations. Determine the scope of work, contact bathroom contractors, and discuss the details. Put in the estimated cost of materials and furniture as well as the price for the work of the construction team. Plan a budget for force majeure – about 10-15%.
Time
Whatever scale of repair you start, it is worth understanding the time frame that you would like to fit into. A light cosmetic repair can take a few days, while a more serious remodel can take a few weeks.
Design
Deciding on a design can be very difficult. Indeed, at the present time, the variety of styles, materials, furniture, and various decorative products can simply be confusing. Listen to your desires, look for ideas on the Internet, and make your own sketches. The main thing to remember is that design is not only about beauty but also about functionality. If you have a large family, make it convenient for everyone to use. It is worth thinking carefully about artsy interiors – they can quickly get bored. It is better to add some bright details when decorating.
Purchase of Materials
Before starting dismantling and subsequent work, it is worth buying consumables and tools for basic work. It is worth doing this with a small margin and keeping the check so that you can return the unused items.
Plumbing
You should not save on plumbing units because high-quality pipes, taps, etc. will be a guarantee that your new renovation will please you for as long as possible.
Lighting
The bathroom should be well lit. Count on at least 15 watts of electric lamps per square meter. It is worth thinking not only about one main light but also about an additional one near the mirror, for instance.
Ventilation
The air in the bathroom is also important. Ventilation can be connected to the same switch as the light, but it is more convenient to use a separate switch. If moisture does not stagnate in the bathroom, you will feel better, and the furniture will last longer.
Modern “Green” Solutions
To save subsequent funds, it is worth choosing saving technologies. Install a double-flush toilet system or opt for energy-saving lamps.
Storage Systems
It is worth considering storage systems even before the start of the main work. For example, you can make built-in niches in the wall above the bathroom or choose a hidden storage system — above the hanging toilet. Behind the doors, you can store not only shower accessories and household chemicals, but also hide the water heater.
Accessories
Choose functional furniture. All accessories like mirrors and decorations can be not only beautiful but also convenient for storing. Use vertical space, space under the sink and under the ceiling, consider buying different boxes, and so on.
Now, you know what to expect when you decide to remodel your bathroom. May your venture bring you joy.
