Remodeling your bathroom is an exciting process. No matter what the before picture looks like, every bathroom has the potential for an amazing after shot with just a few simple remodeling tips.

There is plenty to know about when it comes to remodeling your bathroom: average renovation prices, how much space is needed for a toilet, and what surfaces will be both functional for a wet space as well as stylish.

If you’re planning a bathroom remodel, you’ll want to start building your knowledge of what to expect from the process. Here are 5 tips to help remodel your bathroom.

Be informed about remodel costs and materials

Before you begin your bathroom remodel, it’s important to have a game plan. For example, the shock of a surprise remodel expense isn’t a great feeling. Therefore, do your research to find out a rough estimate of what your bathroom remodel is going to cost so you’re not bombarded with bills. Getting informed also means knowing measurements specific to your bathroom so you can better plan on how to move or upgrade certain units.

Create a shower you want to get into

Or don’t want to get out of! Don’t be afraid to splurge on a beautiful shower. If you’re not a fan of taking baths you can remove it and use that precious floor space for a walk-in shower. You may also want to opt for a great shower head with different settings. Your shower head is going to make the difference between a good shower and a great one.

Choose beautiful surfaces

One great tip for remodeling your bathroom is choosing beautiful surface materials. Countertops, backsplashes, and floor and wall tiles can have a huge effect on the way your bathroom looks.

Splurge on higher end materials, such as beautiful Calacatta marble or add a splash of elegant color with attractive granite. Choosing the right surfaces for your bathroom can make any space, big or small, feel richly designed.

Hide your toilet

Your toilet may be a functional part of your bathroom, but that doesn’t mean it has to be the centerpiece. Having your toilet clearly visible from the doorway of the bathroom isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing visual. If possible, consider concealing your toilet in an inlet/nook of the room, or have some stylish built-in shelving around it to hide it from sight.

Upgrade your bathroom lighting

Lighting sets the mood for any space, especially in the bathroom. Over the mirror lighting, ceiling lights, or hanging lamps add a whole new ambiance to your space. Recessed lighting is trendy and modern for shower lights while using pendant lamps can bring a minimalist, Scandinavian style to your space. The options are endless!

These 5 tips to help remodel your bathroom are designed to make your remodel fun, exciting, and rewarding. Don’t get caught up in the stress of a house remodel. Instead, get informed and you’ll be on your way to building the bathroom of your dreams in no time. Have some decor ideas of your own? Share with us @marmolexportusa.
