Tips for Planning a Bathroom Remodel in Arlington, TX
Before you can get the ball rolling on a bathroom remodel in Arlington, TX, you need to make a plan for how you want it to go. Planning can feel overwhelming if you're not sure where to start or what you need to do to make sure everything is included and avoid typical renovation headaches. Here are a few expert tips that will help the planning phase of your Arlington bathroom remodel go smoothly.
Think About Current and Future Needs
It's very common to get distracted by those perfectly-airbrushed bathroom remodeling photos and forget to focus on what your family really wants and needs—both currently and a few years down the road. Don't get caught up on expensive trends that will fade away in a few years and leave your room looking dated and out of style.
Our families have a way of changing and growing over time, and you're not likely to get an annual bathroom remodel in Arlington, TX. That's why it can also really pay off to spend some time thinking about features that you may not require right this minute, but that will be very beneficial for your household in a couple of years. For example, if you may be welcoming a family member with reduced mobility issues into your home, it makes sense to consider adding accessibility modifications such as a shower seat or grab bars that will make it much easier for those with disabilities to maintain independence in the bathroom. Or, maybe you plan to have children in the near future—if that's the case, you probably want to avoid shower conversion and keep your bathtub. It's a big challenge to bathe a toddler in a shower, so most young families need a bathtub.
Figure Out Your Design Aesthetic
For many people, working out a design aesthetic for their Arlington bathroom remodel is the most difficult part. Naturally, you want something that complements the overall style and appearance of your house, but you also need to consider what qualities you want to prioritize when it comes to choosing finishing materials such as tiles and countertops. Here are some questions to ponder:
- What design style would best suit my home? (For example: minimalist, rustic, elegant, old-fashioned, modern, bohemian, etc.)
- How do I want to use color? (Don't know how to design a color scheme? One trick that can get you started is the 60-30-10 scheme. That means a primary color will be used on around 60% of your room, 30% will be a complementary secondary color and the 10% that is left over will be a contrasting accent color)
- Am I willing to do more maintenance for a beautiful luxury material like natural stone, or do I prefer lower maintenance, more cost-effective choice like ceramic? (There's no right or wrong answer, but identifying your key priorities can make choosing the right material a lot easier)
Make Sure to Include Lighting and Ventilation
Homeowners often ask our handyman team if there's anything missing from the rough draft of the plan they came up with—and it's not that unusual for us to find that lighting and ventilation have been forgotten in the excitement of choosing the more fun design elements such as tile. That being said, lighting and ventilation are actually very important for the function and longevity of your bathroom remodel in Arlington, TX.
Maybe your room already has sufficient light fixtures, but if you find yourself squinting while you're applying makeup, or just guessing at whether you missed any patches while shaving your legs in the shower, you definitely need a lighting upgrade. You may not be able to have a ceiling fixture right over the shower, but it should be near enough that it casts ample light in there. It's also critical to have adequate ventilation to prevent moisture damage such as wood rot. If you have a window that you can open while you're in the shower (and you're willing to open it every single time you use the shower), you may be able to get away without it, but if not, you'll need a bathroom fan to vent steam outdoors.
Don't Forget a Little Luxury
Finally, make sure you add in a bit of luxury or an amenity that you've always wanted into your Arlington bathroom remodel. It could be something big like a clawfoot tub or marble countertops, but it doesn't necessarily have to be very costly to give you a taste of a luxury experience. Small additions such as a one-touch faucet, heated towel rack or seated vanity for cosmetic application could be the ideal way to make your new room feel relaxing and rejuvenating. Including that little something that your heart desires will make you feel a lot more satisfied with the project when it is all said and done.
Bathroom Remodel in Arlington, TX: Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does It Cost for a Bathroom Remodel in Arlington, TX?
When it's time to budget for a bathroom remodel, Arlington, TX homeowners often want to know what the average bathroom remodel cost is. We'll tell you: the national average amount that people spend in the United States is nearly $11,000, with a typical range of about $6,000 to $15,000. However, knowing that isn't really going to help you set your own budget because they're just averages that don't take your particular house, Arlington bathroom remodeling needs, wants and finances into account before deciding on a price range.
If you're worried about staying under budget, remember that you don't necessarily need to strip the entire room down to the subfloor and change absolutely everything. Smaller changes or focusing on one particular area of the room can still net you the transformative results you're looking for while staying within your desired price range. For example, a new vanity, replacing old shower walls or a fresh installation of tile on the walls or floor can go a long way toward making the whole room look brand-new.
Should I Change the Layout During a Bathroom Remodel?
That really depends on a few key factors. There are two good reasons why you may want to consider keeping your floor plan as-is:
- There are only a few standard bathroom layouts that have been designed to maximize space in a small room with a lot of large fixtures and built-in cabinets, and you're going to be considerably limited by the shape and square footage of the room, so it may not really be feasible to change up the floor plan and still have enough space to move around. For example, if you've got a long, narrow rectangle, the sink and vanity are likely closest to the door, followed by the toilet, and the shower and/or bathtub is at the end, furthest from the door. There's really not much you can do to switch that up.
- It's pretty much always going to be more expensive to move a fixture such as a toilet to a new location rather than just placing a new toilet where the old one used to be, so if budget is a concern and you have a layout you are okay with, it makes sense to stick with your current floor plan.
But if what you have just isn't working and it does need to be changed, make sure to maximize space for foot traffic and avoid odd angles as much as possible. Keeping your bathroom clean is a big enough chore without adding more work with a poorly thought-out floor plan. Consider sketching out your thoughts from the top down—it doesn't have to be an artistic masterpiece, but just seeing it in front of you on paper can really help when it comes to identifying potential trouble spots. It will also help give your contractors a clear idea of what you have in mind.
