Second only to kitchens, remodeling bathrooms is one of the best ways to increase your home’s resale value and give it a fresh new look. However, it’s essential to assess your project needs and establish a realistic budget before getting started to avoid unforeseen expenses.
Whether you’re looking to create an updated space that appeals to your personal style or want to maximize the resale potential of your home, you need to start with the right tools. Creating a 2D layout with Cedreo’s intuitive drawing tools is the best way to visualize your bathroom’s current space and determine how much room you have for renovations. Easily change the size and placement of walls in seconds, and watch as your design changes are automatically reflected in measurements and surface areas.
The next step is to select the materials and fixtures you’ll use in your new bathroom, keeping in mind both aesthetic and functional factors. For example, selecting water-efficient fixtures can lower your utility bills and non-slip tiles can enhance safety. It’s also a good idea to choose neutral or classic styles that will still be in fashion for years to come.
Finally, it’s important to consider how you’ll store items like towels and toiletries post-remodel. This is especially true if you’re expanding your bathroom or removing a closet to expand it. You’ll want to install a sufficient number of storage cabinets or shelving units to meet your space requirements. In addition, be sure to mark the locations of existing plumbing and electrical hookups in your bathroom. This will prevent them from being damaged during the remodeling process.

When it comes to choosing between a renovation and remodel, the difference is in the amount of work required. A simple cosmetic update or surface refresh falls into the realm of a renovation, while a complete redesign and expansion is more often considered a remodel.
Essentially, a renovation focuses on surface updates such as paint and fixture upgrades while a full remodel involves changing the layout, replacing existing fixtures, and adding additional features like a tub or shower. As you can imagine, the latter option is more expensive and time-consuming.
