Whether you're adding a new bathroom or just remodeling an existing bathroom, first consider your needs. Start by making a bathroom design checklist.
Here is a list that may give you some ideas for things you want to put on your bathroom checklist:
* Can two people easily use the bathroom now?
* Do you need a tub or shower? Both?
* Who uses the bathroom? Kids might need a step stool. Older people might need grab bars.
* How is the location? Is it convenient to other rooms? What about traffic flow?
* How is lighting and access to electrical sockets?
* Are there enough sockets for several appliances?
* Are there GFI outlets?
* Is storage or counter space adequate?
* Is the ventilation adequate?
Adding a new bathroom, or just making updates can add more to the value of your home than almost any other remodeling project.
Bathrooms are used daily by every member of the family so they are subject to a lot of wear and tear. Generally, home buyers expect to find a bathroom adjoining the master bedroom, a common bathroom, and a half bath with just a toilet and sink near the kitchen. In older homes, owners frequently opt to add a bathroom as soon as finances permit for the additional convenience as well as enhanced market value.
The reconfiguration of rooms, hallways, and closets may provide the needed square footage for adding a new bathroom. Or a new bathroom may be a part of a larger addition. Either way, adding a bath will provide a significant return on your investment, especially if your home has only one bathroom to start with. Working with a contractor who has experience in bathroom remodeling will help you design an addition that meets your requirements within your budget.
Options for remodeling range from simple, cosmetic updates such as new paint and tile, to a complete reconfiguration of fixtures and cabinetry. A relatively modest investment in your bathroom can yield not only a more functional space, but financial benefits if you choose to sell.
