Improve Your Bathroom With a Completely New Layout

Does your bathroom feel small, cramped, and completely inefficient? If your answer was yes, then you can relate to the hundreds of thousands of other people in the world that dislike their current bathroom space.

Now, did you know that by simply changing the layout of your bathroom, you can create more space and make it more efficient? Yes, it’s true! It won’t be a quick and easy project, but the end results will be beautiful and rewarding.

As you sit down with your local contractor to determine the layout of your new bathroom, you will want to be prepared with some basic answers to questions.

These questions include:

• How many people use this bathroom?
• Do you want a combination shower and bathtub or separate?
• If separate, do you really need a soaking tub?
• What items do you want to store in your bathroom?
• What dream features would you desire?

By having answers to these questions, you will save a lot of time during the planning process and fewer changes will need to be completed during the entire renovation.

Starting with a clean slate in your bathroom will mean tearing everything up and removing it all. Your plumbing will need to be redone as well some of your electric. These two items will need to be completed before anything else can go into the space, which is why it is critical to have a plan in place before the work begins.

Here are a few things that we recommend for your new layout:

• A double vanity is nice for when multiple people are using the space, but if that is not possible, then we suggest a vanity with one sink, some countertop space, and storage underneath.
• A soaking tub is wonderful at the end of a long day, but it may not work in your new space. We suggest possibly installing a shower/bathtub combination with a deeper tub for soaking in.
• Storage is quite necessary in a bathroom and you will need twice as much as you think that you do. Therefore, pull-out storage cabinets that can fit into smaller space are a wonderful option. They look quite similar to pull-out spice racks or pantries from a kitchen and you can customize them to fit all of your bathroom items.

Moving a toilet from one side of the bathroom to the other, removing items like soaking tubs that are never used, reconfiguring the shower, and installing a more functional vanity are only a few layout changes that you can make in your bathroom. Your local contractor can help you design this space so that it can be a room that you will not dread walking into every day.
