Thinking about a home renovation? The first place you should start is your bathroom. It’s a quick and manageable way to add value to your property in no time. In fact, renovating the vanity, flooring, and shower inside your bathroom is proven to provide the highest return on investment, according to a survey by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.

Not only that, a new bathroom achieved the highest ‘joy’ ranking in the survey, meaning an overwhelming number of homeowners were satisfied with their decision to remodel their bathrooms.

Whether you’re looking to maximize space, improve comfort, increase property value, or simply create a modern and updated look to enjoy for years to come, here are four simple tips to turn your bathroom remodel into reality.   

 1. Start with your shower.

One of the most important aspects of any bathroom is the shower. Not only is it where you’ll spend the most time, but it also takes up the most space. Depending on how large your desired shower is, it may take up around a third of your entire bathroom space! That’s why picking the right shower amenities is key, specifically a customized shower door or enclosure that best suits your style and needs. You’ll also want to look for a shower door that features water and stain-resistant glass, such as Frameless Shower Doors’ StayCLEAN technology. No matter the size or style of your shower, pick a door system that will look and feel brand-new for a lifetime.

2. Look down!

The flooring inside a bathroom is nearly as important as the shower area. Replacing flooring will help give the overall space a refreshed appearance. Plus, it’s a pretty inexpensive task to accomplish. Different types of low-cost porcelain, ceramic style tiles, and even vinyl can be made to look like classic wood or stone –– while still maintaining a waterproof and durable feeling.

 3. Don’t buy everything at the same place.  

When embarking on a remodel, it’s wise to purchase items from a multitude of sellers and companies. Why? Easy: You want to ensure you’re purchasing the best of the best, which means you should seek out the leaders in every product you’re looking to purchase. If not, you risk paying an above market price for a subpar product. For example, it wouldn’t make sense to purchase a new shower door system from a company that specializes in toilets and sinks. Instead, look for a top-rated shower door company, such as Frameless Shower Doors. Though spreading out purchases may seem stressful at first, it will ensure you’re receiving the best the market has to offer – which will surely pay off in the long run.

4. Know exactly what you want – and plan for it.

To avoid any surprises or unexpected fees at the close of your remodel, it’s best to prepare in advance as much as possible. That means making a list of every item you would like to replace or refresh with the corresponding cost required. To reduce expenses, consider exploring DIY options and direct-to-consumer manufacturer pricing and service. Together, this may save you a substantial amount of money during renovations.
