Reasons to renovate the kitchen and bathroom together

Bathrooms and kitchens are two of the most popular rooms to renovate and for good reason. Both renovations offer great ROI, are used daily, and do a lot to boost resale and attract buyers. Instead of choosing between one or the other when it’s time to renovate, pair the work together. You get twice the benefits with less stress and time spent.

Do all the plumbing at once

Typically, when renovating bathrooms or kitchens, the plumbing and fixtures are involved in the change. Keeping fixtures up-to-date can add a lot of visual appeal and interest to a room. It is also important to keep plumbing both maintained and up-to-date. Broken pipes, low-efficiency faucets, or just worn-out designs take away from the room or risk high costs in water damage repairs. Upgrading to low-flow faucets in the bathroom and kitchen, for example, will help save on monthly water bills.

When you do all the plumbing work for both rooms at once, it’s more efficient in time and labour. This can help save money in the end.

Create flow in the design

If you are renovating the main floor bathroom, it’s a great chance to create a sense of flow throughout the space. Having similar elements, whether paint colours, flooring design, or countertop material, creates that connection. In the bathroom, draw elements and design ideas from the kitchen as inspiration. Use the same cabinets and fixtures, for example, or a similar colour scheme but in a lighter or darker shade. It’s also a great way to combine materials, like flooring or countertop materials that pair well in the bathroom and kitchen.

Save time and cost

A downside is that you can lose temporary access to both the kitchen and bathroom. It’s not ideal, but in a renovation, it must be considered. That’s why renovating the two spaces together can save that time and wait. The work will go faster together because you can order the materials for both rooms at once. Cost-wise as well, you save having to hire a construction team twice for two different rooms. Together with your general contractor, you can put together a schedule and timeline that meets your needs. Any permits, materials, or labour that needs to be done can be paired together so the work can be done more efficiently.
