Preparing to Renovate Your Primary Bath

Demand for new baths among homeowners has never been hotter. Most homeowners in the Chagrin Falls area have realized that creating an in-home spa where they can have a few minutes all to themselves to wash away the stresses of the day can enhance the quality of their lives and increase the value of their homes. Given the demand for kitchen and bath renovations and supply chain challenges confronting the entire industry, preparing for a new bath is more important than ever. Bathroom renovation is not something most homeowners undertake often. There are many decisions that have to be made, options to consider, and details to ponder. Here’s guidance to help prepare for your renovation.

Have a realistic timeline and budget expectations. Don’t be afraid to share the expectations of your dream bath with a professional showroom consultant/designer and the budget figure you want to spend. A true professional will advise you if your budget can meet your expectations and if not, where cost savings might be available.

The size of a bathroom also can present challenges, especially if it tends to be smaller, which may not lend itself to a separate space for the toilet, dual sinks, or a large soaking tub. That’s where a professional designer can be your greatest ally. They know how to maximize the value of the space they have to work with. Our showroom has created “Ah-Ha” moments among homeowners by creating new space in a smaller bath by eliminating the tub altogether (because it was rarely used) and replacing it with a high-performing shower with steam, color, light, sound, and aromatherapies.

Opting for an open floor plan bath is another option to help maximize a smaller bath. Specifying a linear drain that requires the shower floor to be only sloped in one direction can eliminate the need for a shower enclosure altogether. Open floor plan baths are not only for smaller spaces; they can also create wow factors in larger baths.

When planning the bath of your dreams, determine how you use it, who will use it, what functionality you desire, and most importantly, how you want the bath to look and feel every time you cross the threshold. Working with a professional designer can help assure that the feeling you receive brings a smile to your face and the faces of your family members.
