When it comes to changing up the look of your home, a bathroom remodel may not be high on your list. You have a bathtub, toilet, shower, and sink. What more could you want?
While your bathroom has all the necessities, you may feel it’s time to make some changes.
Maybe you want to add a second sink, or perhaps it’s time to replace the flooring with something more modern. Or you want to change out the old tub for something more luxurious and beautiful, like a deep clawfoot tub.
When it comes to bathroom design, there are more options than you may think. Plus, there are varying levels of remodeling. You may want to change the paint and fixtures, or maybe you want to gut the bathroom and start from scratch. Whichever option you choose for your bathroom remodel, there are a few things you need to consider.

A bathroom remodel can be extensive or relatively simple. Take some time to assess what you like and what you want to change so you can get it all done in one go. You don’t want to have to remodel your bathroom in another year or two!
Any type of remodeling work is going to cost a lot of money. Even changing out fixtures and doing a new paint color can cost thousands of dollars. Plus, the cost of construction materials has sharply increased over the past year, so keep that in mind as well. A typical mid-range bathroom remodel can cost $15,000, while a major renovation can cost over $30,000. You will likely run into unexpected expenses, so work those into your budget as well.
Bathroom design consists of more elements than you might expect. There are bathtubs, showers, toilets, sinks, lighting, countertops, flooring, fixtures, and cabinets to consider. You may want everything to match, or perhaps you prefer each to have different design elements. It may be helpful to enlist the help of a professional like the team at Complete Dezign.
Bathroom lighting is important unless you enjoy getting ready for work in the dark. Including various types of LED lighting throughout your bathroom is always a good idea. You can use recessed lighting combined with overhead and ambient lighting. Consider dimmer switches to change the amount of lighting as needed.
You also need sufficient ventilation, or you could see problems with mold and mildew. A lack of ventilation can also cause problems with the floors and wall, so don’t forget about windows and fans.
