The bathroom is the most popular room in the home for remodeling, and it’s easy to see why. You spend most of your time in your bathroom while you’re getting ready to head out into the world to face your day, and being surrounded by a room that’s beautiful and efficient can get you off to a good start.
If you’re considering a bathroom remodel in Fort Collins, you need to take the time to get the design right and work with a contractor who can deliver the bathroom of your dreams. Here are a few tips to consider as you approach the design of your new bathroom.
1. Start With Your Countertop and Floor Choices
The tile you have underfoot and the countertop on which you spread out all your grooming products will affect the way you feel about your bathroom every time you step inside, so start here when planning your design. Remember that large tiles are more slippery than smaller ones. Don’t choose your materials from a photo, but make sure you see them and touch them in person to make sure you’re getting what you want.
2. Find a Way to Hide the Toilet
No one wants to see a toilet the second they step into a bathroom. If you have space, build a niche or a half-wall around your toilet so your eyes are drawn elsewhere when you come into the room.
3. Choose Standard Size Fixtures to Keep Costs Under Control
Did you know that bathtubs come in standard sizes? The same with sinks, toilets, showers, and even vanities. Maybe you have your heart set on that old-fashioned claw-foot bathtub — and that’s fine if it’s in your budget. But if you limit your choices to standard sizes, you’ll find more choices and lower costs.
4. Convert Your Tub to a Shower — Or More Storage
If you’re one of the many people who rarely or never takes a bath, then why let that bathtub take up so much prime real estate in your bathroom. Consider converting it to a luxury spa shower that you’d really enjoy. Or if you already have a shower in place, opt for extra storage, so you don’t have to go down the hall to the linen closet to get clean towels.
