What To Ask Yourself When Deciding A Bathroom Layout

There are a good handful of homeowners who don’t think twice about a new layout for their bathroom remodel, but they should. A remodel is something that should stay with you forever. Or at least, a very long time. Getting too hasty can leave you stuck with a bathroom style that you’ll get tired of fast, and we don’t want that to happen. Ask yourself the following questions before starting your new bathroom remodel with Revive Design and Renovation Brandon:

“What Is My Budget, Realistically?”

Repeat after us: “Budgeting always comes first!” Say it a few more times to hammer it in.

This is one thing that we can’t stress enough. So many homeowners in Brandon have gone way over their heads by putting their all into a bathroom remodel that ends up leaving their bank account dry. We guarantee you that it is impossible to feel good about your new bathroom when it cripples your finances. Putting dinner on the table comes before shiny faucets.

“Do I Need to Consider Accessibility?”

The next important thing you need to consider before anything else is the need for accessibility in your household. You might want to install a bunch of new fixtures, but if those fixtures get in the way of using the bathroom with ease, then you might want to reconsider your options or revise your blueprint. You can still create a stunning bathroom for your Brandon home that’s handicap friendly!

“How Will I Be Using My New Bathroom?”

Some people get too caught up in aesthetics that they completely throw functionality out the window. Your bathroom is there for utility, not for decoration! Take notes on how you currently use your bathroom. What do you like about it that you would want to keep? What could be done better? A functional bathroom that you love to use is miles more important than something that simply looks pretty.

If you’re sharing your bathroom, leave room for traffic. If you never take baths, consider removing them from the picture. Plan your bathroom layout around what you want.

“Who Will Be Using This Bathroom?”

Your new bathroom might be for guests rather than yourself. In this case, think about the type of people you might be inviting over and how they might use this space. Unless they’re staying over in Brandon for a few days, they might not need a shower or tub. If you like to host parties and gatherings, there’s a high chance that they’ll get more use out of a large vanity that can store a wide array of toiletries, makeup, and feminine products to help them take care of emergencies or wardrobe malfunctions and get right back to socializing.

“How Much Room Do I Have to Work With?”

No matter how great an idea you have, you can only do so much with the space that you’re given. Plan around the room instead of planning the room around your ideas for a bathroom remodel that makes sense. Don’t try to fit too much into a small bathroom, and make use of the space in a big one.
