Guide on how to plan a bathroom renovation - 5 steps you need to remember!

15 of December '21

Your bathroom is long past its glory years, and you're procrastinating on renovating it because you don't know where to start? Renovation is for some a real nightmare. Many ideas, inspirations and modern solutions come to mind. When preparing, you need to think about everything and set aside enough time. How to get down to revolutions in the bathroom and not lose your head?

1. arrange a schedule for yourself before the renovation

If we do not use the help of a designer or interior designer, a lot of work awaits us, but if our author's design is realized - satisfaction guaranteed. However, nothing comes for free - for the effect to be satisfactory, let's apply ourselves to the undertaking as best we can.

2. look for inspirations

Save the best of them in a folder or print out for your own use what you like best. You can create a kind of moodboard - a board of inspiration to guide you in your next steps. Let's also consider what kind of elements we need. A bathtub or a shower? Or maybe if we have enough space both versions? A small bathroom? Here, too, we have many interesting solutions. There are many issues to consider. Let's also think at the very beginning about the separation of zones in the bathroom and the type of shower, as this can significantly affect how the spout is shaped.

3 Take measurements

The basics. Measure the room lengthwise and widthwise writing down all dimensions. This step is necessary, especially if our bathroom is not very large. Remember also that when planning to tile the bathroom, we also need to know what the surface area of each wall is. To do this, we measure the width of each wall, add them together and multiply times the height to which we want to tile. We do not subtract the area of any openings from this result.We should anticipate a slight reserve of tiles in case of material losses.

4 Write down the key elements

Take a piece of paper and something to write down the key needs and necessary equipment to be placed in the bathroom. Write down all the information that comes to mind. The more ambitious may even be tempted to draw out the entire room. Or make a simple visualization in some graphics program.

5 Book your appointments

Make sure the renovation won't take longer than necessary. A construction schedule is like a house of cards, especially with all the specialized subcontractors (plumbers, carpenters, joiners, tile setters, electricians) who will block out specific hours to work on your project. One delay can ruin everything. Keep in mind that deadlines with professionals and manufacturers can be very long.

If you want to use custom furniture for your interior, note that many times manufacturers or craftsmen need a reasonable amount of time to complete an often highly customized product. Order unique items and the services of specialists well in advance, before you start renovations.

And get to work, good luck!
