The bathroom is the most important room in your home. Everyone uses it every day, but it is often the most overlooked room in terms of upgrades and updates. Renovations often get put off for lack of time, money, and ideas for the space.
The good news is bathroom remodels don’t have to cost a fortune and can be tons of fun! If you are ready for a bathroom renovation in St. Louis, here are a few steps to get started:
Start Gathering Ideas
Not sure where to start? Check out websites and magazines with photos of bathrooms you like. Take a walk through the aisles of your local home improvement store. Create a notebook or pinboard with your favorite concepts and looks to use as inspiration as you plan your project.
Earmark Your Major Changes
Looking at gorgeous photos and gathering inspiration for your bathroom remodeling project is a lot of fun. But when it comes down to it, a renovation usually includes upgrading or replacing one or more of the room’s key elements. Determining what needs work will help you create a budget and a plan for your renovation.
Are you looking to replace flooring and repaint walls, or is your remodel focused on upgrading fixtures or replacing your shower or toilet? Doing everything at once can be expensive and difficult, so you may choose to break it up into multiple projects over time. Working with things like plumbing may also necessitate contacting a professional, so that is something to consider when planning.
Consider a Contractor
If you are considering a major renovation – such as replacing your tub or toilet – it may be best to work with a pro. Professionals can safely repair or replace plumbing, as well as ensure that detailed jobs like placing tile are done correctly.
While it might be tempting to save a few dollars by doing some jobs yourself, working with professionals will give you a better finished result and fewer worries along the way. For many homeowners, that peace of mind is worth the investment – and not having to redo their remodel repeatedly can save money in the long run.
