Do you know how much it costs to renovate a bathroom design?

Before starting any project, you must set your expectations about how much money you want to invest. The size of the bathroom, the quality of materials you want to buy, and if you wish to do some of the work yourself can all affect the renovation cost.

The first element you see should not be a toilet!

Ask a bathroom designer what their best tried and true tip is, and you will likely hear a simple argument. Sometimes, bathroom doors are left open, meaning you or any guest walking into your home will see a toilet that isn't the most aesthetically pleasing. So, what should you focus on? Anything but the bathroom.

Reusing old tiles

The main goal of your bathroom renovation may be to give it a luxurious new look, but some things are more accessible to replace than others. For example, in older homes, wall tiles may have multiple layers of concrete and perhaps wire. Your labour costs may skyrocket to remove these items. Instead, keep the old tiles and spend your time and money elsewhere.

Proper lighting design in luxury bathroom

The best approach for a space with proper lighting is the layered combination of ambient and decorative lighting. Consult your bathroom designer or lighting specialist about your lighting design.

Understanding the standard dimensions of the bathroom

Knowing a few key measurements, such as the size of a typical bathtub and the space required for a toilet, will help you plan your renovation more effectively.

Planning the right height for the vanities

Traditional vanities are 1 meter high. But it would be best to consider how much your sink increases the size of the vanities. For example, if you have a sink, you'll want to lower your vanity's height so you can easily wash your hands or brush your teeth.

Consider a corner vanities

If you have a tight space that makes opening the entrance or shower door challenging, place your vanities in a corner to free up space.

Preparing a small bathtub

If you have a small bathroom that you want to renovate, there may be better options than a bathtub. But many companies scale down their models to offer small luxury spaces.

Invest in some expensive ingredients

Do you want to know a little design secret? Since bathrooms are usually smaller spaces, if you use some high-end materials and decorations, you've made a good investment that can make your bathroom super luxurious.

So, before you decide that your bathroom will use only the most basic and affordable materials, look at materials for wall and floor coverings, vanity and more at higher levels. Adding one or more of these items to a small bathroom may be within your budget.

Double-check your tile size!

Surprisingly, the 0.3 x 0.6-meter tile you bought may be a different size. That's because most tiles are sold in European (mm) sizes, and that size may play a role in the grout bond and your fancy new tile being 11⅜, which can affect your tile layout, sills, and plumbing.

Converting a bathtub to a shower in the bathroom

If you don't shower but have a bathtub, that's a 1.5m by 0.8m area wasted. Converting it to a shower will be cost-effective, as it uses the available space, and there is no need to reroute the plumbing.

Several ways to dry the bathroom

Mould reduction begins with moisture removal. So, it is best to take a multi-pronged approach. Try a fantastic vent and a large window.

Paying attention to the difference in floor covering

Your bathroom will have a tile floor, but the hallway or adjoining room will have something completely different, like hardwood. The transition between these two coverings takes time to make. As with most things, planning will give you results that meet your expectations.
