Do you need a few minor updates? Is a whole bathroom add-on needed? Does your bathroom need a redesign in floor plan? No matter the situation you are in, there are several types of bathroom renovations you can choose for your home. The type of bathroom renovation you choose can span from large-scale remodels to minor renovations. Whatever you and your family needs, it is best to clearly understand what is needed and wanted.
Cosmetic Remodels
Cosmetic bathroom remodels are usually the easiest to undertake. These types of bathroom projects typically don’t require large overhauls or messy renovations. A cosmetic remodel is meant to bring new life to your bathroom by changing the aesthetic and feeling of the room. It is one of the best ways to make an old bathroom look new!
Cosmetic remodels include replacing vanities, sinks, flooring, countertops, shelving, tile, and more. Essentially, this type of renovation is any work done to your bathroom to give it a new style without tearing everything out completely.
Tips for revamping a current bathroom:
- Replace faucets to give the room a more modern feel
- Painting is the go-to method to make any room feel brand new, so why not do it to your bathroom?
- Change up the lighting. Replace those outdated fixtures and add new lights.
Floor Plan Redesign
The floor plan redesign is the best type of project when your bathroom “just isn’t working” for you. Your family has doubled in size and your bathroom requirements have changed. This is going to require a floor plan redesign.
Does your household need a full or master bathroom? Would a three-quarter bathroom accommodate your bathroom needs? Maybe adding a half bathroom or two will help alleviate the morning rush as your kids shuffle off to school.
No matter the case, you will need to take into consideration the number of people using the bathrooms in your home and how frequently the bathrooms get used. Based on the needs of your family, you can decide what type of floor plan is needed and what kind of remodel you are looking at.
Aging-In-Place
When you decide you are going to stay in your current home, you will need to eventually remodel your bathroom (and the rest of your house) for aging-in-place. It may be more difficult to move around as you grow older and your home is going to need to accommodate the changes in your life. Shower seats, adjusted toilet seat heights, grab bars, and non-slip floors are all to be considered. Whether you decide to fully remodel or do some minor renovations, your bathroom will need work to be ready for aging-in-place.
If you’re looking to go the aging-in-place route, consider these options:
- Step-In Tub or Curbless Shower
- Seats, Stools, and Benches for Showering and Transferring
- Removable and Adjustable Shower Heads
- Vanity Countertop Height Change
- Widened Bathroom Door
- Grab Bar and Rail Installation
- Non-Slip Floors, Mats, and Rugs
- Functional Fixtures and Accessories
New Bathroom Addition
The bathroom is an essential part of any home, whether it be an older or newer house, adding a bathroom can drastically improve your home. Before adding a bathroom, it is very important to understand the needs of your family, desired design, and the cost associated with the large project.
There are very few people who would question if adding a new bathroom would improve their home. Unless you live alone, it seems like someone is always in the bathroom when you need to use it. If you are married with children, you might as well create a schedule and take reservations to use the bathroom. The answer to this problem is obvious – add another bathroom.
