Remodeling your bathroom is a great way to upgrade the space and boost home value, and it requires some careful thinking before you get started. Thorough planning will ensure you have all the amenities you want and properly maximize space in your bathroom remodeling design. From accessibility to aesthetics, keep the following in mind before you begin.

Important Aspects of Bathroom Remodeling

1. Height

Much of the time spent in the bathroom is dedicated to getting ready. You want to make the process as easy as possible, so keep height in mind before you install features. Mirrors should be placed at heights convenient for you and your spouse, and the sink, vanities, and toilet should all be positioned ideally. These measurements should be settled before plumbing is put in so that everything comes together and has the best functionality for everyone.

2. Lighting

How do you plan to use your bathroom? If you like to get in and out quickly, standard lighting may be all that’s necessary. If you spend time getting ready in the mirror, you may need better overhead lighting. If you like to treat yourself to a relaxing bubble bath, you may want soft lighting with a dimmer. These features can make or break a bathroom, so think carefully about what you want and where you want them so that the electrician can work out the wiring without interfering with the plumbing.

3. Accessibility

If your bathroom remodeling project is a complete overhaul, you need to be aware of how accessible piping is. Placing showers and toilets in different areas than they were originally installed will require additional piping, often under the floor. Think about accessibility in terms of convenience as well. You want everything to be within arm’s reach and, if needed, have plenty of support and grab bars installed for mobility limitations.
