With any home remodeling project you take on, the best starting point is always the budget. From choosing a new tile to installing a new sink, the cost of renovation can rise up faster than you think. Establishing a fixed price point will help you set boundaries to your design and understand what options are available to satisfy the look you are working to achieve. Are you going to do all or some of the work yourself or are you going to higher a professional? I have a list of professionals that I would highly recommend, so feel free to contact me for referrals.Determine your necessities.
If you are on a tight budget, take a minute to observe all aspects of your current bathroom. Decide which items are a “must change” and which ones can be compromised. There may be some items that can be refinished rather than replaced. Doing a simple resurface to your bathtub or sink may add the perfect sleek look you're going for and cost just a fraction of the price of a replacement.
Pay attention to the details.
Some of the most effective updates in a bathroom can be found in the smallest details. Changes to the hardware, such as faucet handles or drawer knobs, can make a huge impact on the overall look of your design. Adjusting the brightness in your lighting can also give an entire new character to your space. Dim lighting can give your bathroom a feel of relaxation. Whereas, bright lighting can make a small bathroom seem larger. Although remodeling can seem overwhelming and fast-paced, it’s important to keep in mind that the details do matter.
