Successful Practices for Remodeling a Dream Bath

Homeowners in Wilmington, NC, especially those who are working from home either part-time or full-time, dream about creating an in-home spa where they can take a few minutes all to themselves to wash away the stresses of the day, recharge and rejuvenate the bodies and spirits.  Demand for in-home spas featuring steam systems, massage therapies, aroma, sound and color therapies, heated floors, smart mirrors, toilets and faucets have skyrocketed.  If you want to join other homeowners in Wilmington, NC to create the primary bath of your dreams, here are several of the most successful practices for your dream bath remodel:

Don’t rush into the renovation process.

Instead, meticulously plan by ensuring you have all specified fixtures and components before starting demolition. This strategic approach helps in a smooth remodeling process for your bath, covering essential elements like the shower system, faucets, sinks, storage solutions, toilet, vanity, countertop, lighting, hardware, mirrors, heated floor, ventilation systems, and more. To streamline the project further, request that your designer and installer create a detailed renovation timeline with projected lead times for each component.

Determine another bathroom to use during the renovation.

This can create challenges in busy homes with children.  Many homeowners in Wilmington, NC overcome this challenge by developing a schedule for when each family member will use the bathroom.  If there is only one bathroom that will serve multiple family members, pair down the number of products in the bath to make it easier to manage.  It may not be practical or probable to have four different shampoos, conditioners, lotions, soaps, towels, hair dryers, etc.  

Optimize storage space.

When preparing for a bathroom renovation, it’s crucial to optimize storage space. Clear out unnecessary items from vanities and cabinets, ensuring a smoother remodeling process. This strategic approach not only declutters your space but can also contribute to cost efficiency, considering the average expenses associated with remodeling a master bath.

Create extra storage in the bathroom that will be used by adding a bathroom and shower caddy that can be used to store toiletries and hang an over-the-door travel cosmetic bag or shoe bag that can be used to store different toiletries.  For towels, create additional options by using over-the-door hooks either in the bath or in a nearby closet.  If you have a linen closet near or in your bath, that represents another great storage option for bath supplies used daily during a renovation. 

Focus on the end result.
