There are many reasons why homeowners renovate their bathrooms, and most renovations guarantee a great ROI. That said, there are just as many ways to renovate, making the whole process a lot harder. If you’re unsure where to start or what to change, having a clear design in mind can help.
CJI Tile & Stone in Calgary is a professional tile installation and bathroom renovation contractor. They share the different types of bathroom renovations and which is right for your next project:
The cosmetic
Cosmetic renovations are perfect if your planning to sell, have a strict budget, or just want a new look. A few visual changes here and there and some small upgrades will go a long way in transforming your bathroom. Re-tiling tub surround walls, Re-grouting a dingy shower floor or replacing the bathroom floor make an attractive feature for resale and bring new life to a dated space. New paint can help brighten the room, or new light fixtures can add style and better lighting. Even updating the hardware, such as modern fixtures or new cabinet handles, will go a long way with adding a sense of novelty.
Aging-in-place
If you love your home and know you plan to stay in it, then renovate your bathroom now to accommodate those future needs. As we all get older, bathrooms can become difficult to maneuver in and even be a safety hazard. The right design and planning will help eliminate these risks. Even simple changes such as raising the toilet seat or installing a grab bar at the tub increase safety and use-ability greatly. While renovating your bathroom, adding a barrier-free or near barrier-free shower allows easier access is easy to do. Widening doors or opening up the layout for more floor space can help with wheelchair or walker access for more room to safely maneuver. These can all be done so that the new bathroom compliments your home and does not look institutional allowing you to enjoy your home for years to come.
Vanity and sink
One important feature in every bathroom is the vanity and sink combination. They are also one of the most common choices to renovate when tackling a bathroom. Whether you’re changing the style, location, or materials, there are a lot of design options. Floating vanities, for example, give the illusion of more floor space. At the same time, a matching feature sink adds striking visual appeal. For new countertops, marble, quartz, or travertine are classic, beautiful, and luxurious bathroom choices. Rearranging the location and moving the sink to make more room is also an option, as well as adding a second sink though it will cost more to retrofit the plumbing. Moving the layout around opens up room for a new tub, a larger shower space, or to double up on the countertop and vanity space and enjoy two sinks.
Bathroom addition
Another popular and very valuable bathroom renovation is the addition of a completely new one. In old or new homes an additional bathroom can be just the ticket to help you get more out of your home. A new bathroom can take space from an underused bedroom, in the basement or even as a complete addition to the home. Just be sure that you choose a new bathroom based on the needs of your home or household. Is the master bedroom lacking in a worthy bathroom? Is there only one bathroom in the house or none in the basement? A new bathroom doesn’t have to mean a full bath either; it may be a powder room, half-bath. Before choosing to add a bathroom, make sure you have the budget, space, and need for one. If the need isn’t there, but the appeal is, it may be more cost-effective to focus on updating an existing bathroom instead.
