A bathroom remodel is an expensive and stressful home improvement process. There are ways to create a restful and luxurious bathroom without breaking the bank. As a matter of fact, these tips will guide you to an affordable bathroom remodel and give you design ideas.
A typical bathroom remodel can contain anywhere from under $1,000 to up to $5,000 worth of cabinetry. As the saying goes, “the sky’s the limit” when you are redoing your bathroom. To eliminate high costs in a bathroom remodel, you look at these main things: materials and labor, the size of your bathroom, and the scope of the remodel. A small bathroom, under 36 square feet, may cost under $1,000 to remodel; while a larger bathroom , typically over 40 square feet, may be more expensive.
The National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) has a Bathroom Planning Guide Handbook which can provide good planning practices that consider the needs of users, including lifestyle and design trends.
When remodeling a bathroom it is important to consider the improvement which can add monetary and non-monetary value to your home. Items which can increase the monetary value of the remodel include replacing the shower/bath, adding a low flow toilet, or adding new tile and countertops. Not commonly considered is the value new cabinetry adds to a bathroom. When adding new cabinetry it indicates that your bathroom’s floor plan is updated. Adding this also gives you increased storage. A bathroom with tins of storage might not increase the monetary value, but when reselling bathroom storage is something new homeowners greatly consider.
