Designing Your New Bathroom

When you decide to remodel your bathroom, the possibilities are endless.  You can do anything from a new coat of paint to a full renovation that includes changing the layout of your bathroom.  No matter how extensive your remodeling project is going to be, you should have a plan and a design to be sure that you stay on track with the changes you want to make to your bathroom.


The plan for your bathroom remodeling project can be as simple as a sketch that you make on a piece of scrap paper or as elaborate as a design created by a professional designer.  Which option you choose will depend largely on the extent of the renovations you plan to make and the complexities of the changes to your bathroom.  But either way you should have a plan that helps you stay on track and achieve the end result you want.


Make sure that you consider every detail as well as the overall picture of what you want your bathroom to look like when planning the design of your bathroom remodeling project.  You want to make sure that the colors you choose as well as the fixtures, lighting and hardware all coordinate in an appealing way. Planning all of these elements before you begin the project will help you have a better end to your bathroom renovations.


When planning you want to consider elements that will be permanent, like the shower, sinks and floors, elements that can be temporary, like fixtures and hardware, and elements that are movable, like rugs, pictures and decorative features.  This big picture view will give you a perfect bathroom project every time.  Make sure that everyone who works on the project knows your design plan so that they can see how their contribution works in the grand scheme of things.


Other features you may want to include in your design plan are luxury features like heated floors, specialty shower heads, lighting fixtures, and even towel warmers.  These things can all make a difference in the layout you choose as well as the amount of space you need to complete the project to your specifications.


Once you have a design plan written out you can hire professionals to complete the work, or you can complete the work yourself.  Either way, planning the design of your bathroom renovation project is an important first step in loving your new bathroom.
