If you’ve ever uttered those words, it may be time for a bathroom remodel. At BAFS Home Buyers, we have seen and renovated all kinds of bathrooms, from ones that merely needed a facelift to those that needed a complete gut job. So today we are going to review a few of our tricks if you want to tackle a quick project or if you want a make a dramatic change in your home.
If you are handy (or even if you’re not), there are a few things that you can do to your space that will make a major impact without costing you too much. These items can also be done in a weekend, so you won’t have to worry about living in a construction zone either.
Some of our quick and easy fixes include swapping dated items with new ones, including:
- Hardware
- Light Fixtures
- Mirror
- Shower curtain, linens, rugs
- Shelving/storage units
- Paint
Now if you are looking for a more comprehensive makeover, and are a more experienced handy-person, you can check off all of items on the list above and then some. Just be sure to do your research, especially if you’re tackling something you have never done before. Brush up on all of the processes you intend to undertake and know when its time to call in the professionals.
The pros, of course, can help with everything from the flooring to the shower/tub to the vanity. They will be able to work within the existing plumbing or move things around if you’re up for the splurge (because that will cost some dollar bills). They have the experience and knowledge necessary to turn the bathroom you hate into one that you love. You simply have to the provide them with the budget and the vision.
The thing about any and all of these renovations is to thoroughly prepare for your project and be flexible throughout the process. Your vision may change as you make progress and as you encounter different tiling, vanity, lighting, paint, tub/shower, etc. options or as you navigate issues along the way. But if you do your due diligence, your bathroom can transform into a throne room you actually want to sit in.
