So you’ve found your dream home. The home you’ve been looking for, for ages and dreaming about since you were just a little kid. There’s just one problem though, the bathroom doesn’t really live up to your expectations. If you’re considering your options and thinking about remodeling it yourself, or hiring a professional to do it for you, here are a few design tips that you should keep in mind through the whole process.

Cost

Make sure that your vision of your future bathroom fits inside a pre-established budget. Budgets may ruin all the fun but not only are they necessary, but they’re also practical. Consider the size of the bathroom, whether you’ll be doing all the remodeling yourself or you’ll be hiring an outside party to do it for you, and the quality of materials you’re planning on using when drawing up a budget.

Always hide the toilet

You don’t want the first thing that your guests see when they open the bathroom door to be the toilet. Make sure you don’t place your toilet in such a way that makes people think it’s the center of attraction.

Learn the standard dimensions of a bathroom

Although it takes a little bit of concentration at first, this will certainly help you while you’re planning the remodel.

Add a vintage touch

Vintage is in! Adding a vintage touch to a room is seen as classy. If your bathroom already has vintage tiles, consider leaving them just the way they are.

Don’t hold back on luxury

Although you are on a budget, by cutting the cost here and there, you will be able to buy a single luxurious item that will bring class and elegance to the entire room.

Be wise when choosing your vanity

This could even help you save time in the morning! Think about the overall size of the bathroom, the materials you want to use and the space you’ll need for the vanity itself.

There are many things that come into play as far as remodeling is concerned. That’s why it’s wise to do your research and be prepared.
