Create the Perfect Master Bathroom with these 7 Great Tips

Now is the perfect time to create the master bathroom of your dreams, so that you can enjoy using it during these cooler winter months. There is nothing better than relaxing in a soaking tub at the end of a cold, long day at work or stepping into a spa like bathroom first thing in the morning. Here are 7 tips for creating the perfect master bathroom:

Stick to the Budget

You will want to stick to your budget no matter what. It doesn’t matter how nice that marble tile will look on the walls and countertops if it will take all of the money from your budget to pay for it.

Have a Contingency Plan

Unexpected problems come up all of the time during remodels and you will want to plan for them. If you have contingency plans in place, then the remodel can continue as planned instead of being placed on hold.

Choose the Right Materials

It is important for you to choose materials that are appropriate for bathrooms. You might love hardwood floors, but they do not work in bathrooms at all. You will want to look into porcelain tiles instead. They are available in many different colors and patterns and they even have some that look like hardwood.

Plan for Storage

Storage is important in every bathroom, so you will not want to make a mistake and not plan for enough. You should always plan for more storage than you think you could use, because more times than not, you will use it. We don’t think anyone has ever said that they have too much storage in their bathroom, but we have heard many people say that they do not have enough.

Expect Delays

Delays are going to happen during any remodeling project and it is important that you do not let it get to you. Keep the lines of communication open with all of your workers and your contractor, so that you can keep the delays to a minimum as much as possible.

Don’t Make Unnecessary Changes

Once you have designed your new bathroom, it is important to not make any unnecessary changes. These changes can delay the start of the project or they can change the length of time the project can take.

Consider the Lighting

Lighting is necessary in a bathroom, but it is much more than just one light fixture. You might want to include bright lighting for when you are doing your hair and ambiance lighting for when you are relaxing in the bathtub. Nighttime lighting can also be an option and make those nighttime trips to the bathroom more enjoyable.
