The bathroom is certainly one of the most functional, utilitarian rooms in your home — but there is no reason it cannot also be one of the most stunning, luxurious, and calming. Think of this space as your sanctuary. If the feeling you get now, though, is outdated instead of oasis, it may be time for an upgrade.
While bathrooms are one of the smaller areas in the home, it has some of the most important things to consider when it comes to remodeling (e.g. toilets, sinks, showers, faucets, tubs, vanities, and flooring to name just a few). You will also want to keep in mind the latest styles, trends, and innovations, so your bathroom won’t just be functional, it will look great, too

Bathrooms are a necessary component of our daily lives. Remodeling your bathroom can have a big effect on your day-to-day life and bring some major benefits.
Whether you choose to do a full remodel or just make a few updates, remodeling your bathroom can transform a small space and make a big impact in your home.
Here are the top 5 reasons to upgrade your bathroom space:
It’s tough to know where to start with a bathroom remodel considering all the elements that make up such a complex space. Think about your daily getting-ready routine and you’ll soon realize how much you actually use the powder room for.
To get you started on the right foot, here are some important considerations:
One of the most common questions our clients ask us about when it comes to remodeling is the budget. However, with each home being different and needing different updates, it’s nearly impossible to give a set figure on what a renovation should cost.
First, consider how long you intend to stay in your home. If you think you’ll be selling within the next five years, you’ll want to look at any improvements as an investment.
However, if you’re planning on staying in your current home for longer, choose updates that will make you happiest and make your life easier.
According to Remodeling Magazine, the average budget for an upscale bathroom renovation is about $63,000. Understanding how much a project will cost will help determine the scope of the project and whether or not financing is needed.

Whether your day starts in the shower or ends in the bath, both are places to get clean, rest, and relax. If you’re going to use your shower or bath every day, shouldn’t it be a feature you love?
Concerning showers…
The latest luxurious shower updates combine function and luxury to create the feeling of a spa right inside your bathroom. Do you want a spacious shower? Dual shower heads? Shower seating? Or a steam shower? All great questions to ask yourself before diving into your bath remodel.
But don’t forget about your shower doors! Traditional, modern, frameless, semi-frameless, and even no threshold doors are all great options.
Anyone else love a good soaking tub after a long day?
If you have been pondering the idea of replacing your current tub in your bath renovation, knowing the basic bathtub options is good place to start:
Each has their own pros and cons but no matter what you choose, make sure it’s something you’ll love.
There are many features to consider when it comes to selecting a vanity for your remodel. Style, aesthetics, storage, function, materials, shape, and room size can all play a big factor when designing a vanity with cabinets for any bathroom in the house.
The three main types of vanities we install most often are:
Remember, the main thing to consider when designing your vanity is your lifestyle—pick something that’s functional and something you’ll love.
Shower, check. Vanity, check. Wall tile, check. Flooring, check. What’s left? Your toilet of course.
Your first decision when selecting a toilet is the toilet type, which is broken down by the flush method of the toilet:
Depending on what type of toilet you chose (and your dimensional capabilities), the style of your toilet could be a one-piece, two-piece, or wall-hanging toilet with single-flush, double-flush, or even a smart toilet. Again, lifestyle should dictate what style and flushing technology is best for you.
Some toilet manufacturers offer customizable options such as color, bowl shape, toilet seat, trapway, and flush handle.
Choosing bathroom flooring is a little different than choosing flooring for other parts of your house due to the larger amounts of water. If not selected carefully, it can quickly ruin the space and damage the floors. Here are the top five flooring options for your bathroom remodel:
