The bathroom in a typical house is two things; it is normally the smallest room and certainly the busiest, as a result the bathroom can “get tired.” Over time the fixtures, the colors and the surfaces change and many homeowners wish to undertake bathroom remodeling in Wheaton. A bathroom remodeling job can be quite simple or quite complex but the outcome should be the same; the room should be livelier and the look and feel should be changed. To ensure that your project is a success there are a few things that you should bear in mind which will ensure success.

The first thing is to decide what it is you don’t like about your current bathroom. Ask yourself if the lighting is right, is the room too small or are the fixtures dated. It is these and other similar questions that will help point you in the direction of the bathroom you want to have. Your contractor may have other things to consider, perhaps rotting floorboards, mold and mildew.

It is possible for those who have experience in construction to do the renovation themselves; this is especially true when the changes are kept to a minimum such as replacing the doors on a vanity for example. Most bathroom remodeling in Wheaton is done by professional contractors who are familiar with all the building codes which must be adhered to.

Should the bathroom be too small there will be a need to tear down walls of adjoining rooms to make an expansion. If the plans are such that there are going to be significant changes this might be the ideal time to consider remodeling not only a bathroom but adding a master bedroom dressing room which is a much wanted feature in modern homes. A dressing room is far more than a simple walk-in closet; a dressing room is an area that you can step into directly from the shower.

Many bathroom designers tend to keep their designs to a minimum, although the outcome is always very attractive and functional. Even in a minimalist room it is important to have storage space. Don’t completely forget cabinets but, you might want to consider concealing them between the studs or placing them in a way that is not obtrusive. Large vanities are outmoded; today’s bathroom design makes use of pedestal sinks which open up floor space. Just remember that when you undertake bathroom remodeling in Wheaton you want to have a result which is both beautiful and practical.
