Remodeling your bath and bathroom is a great way to change the look and styles, making it appeal more to you. San Antonio bathrooms should have everything you want, including sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, mirrors and great lighting. However, finding the style that works for you can be a little difficult sometimes, so there are some helpful tips that will get your bath remodeled quickly and easily.
Budget
While having a budget is a big deal, you should also consider budgeting for unexpected expenses. While you always hope that the budget you have in place will be enough, things can take unexpected turns. Many people remodel their bath to find out that they will also need to replace their pipes or water heater to keep up with their new bathroom.
Whether you plan to knock down walls and do a complete remodel or simply add a new bath shower to your area, you may find that something else is wrong and it is important to have the money available to handle those extra problems. A 10 to 15 percent addition to the original budget should be enough to handle any extra problems.
Toilets
No one ever wants to talk about them, but everyone uses the toilet. Many people prefer a functional style that is also discreet, hiding away the toilet in a corner so that it is not the first thing people notice when entering the room. This can be done by creating a half-wall that partially hides the toilet or putting in a nice dresser in between the toilet and the rest of the bathroom.
Surfaces
Whether on the floor, walls or counter, the surface of your bathroom should look stylish, fit your preferences and be able to handle the use and abuse they will undoubtedly receive. Just think about how you treat your counters by dropping items on them, putting hot dryers and curling irons on them and more. Most designers prefer to use porcelain for all areas of the bath because it can take the abuse and look great. Many options available can make the porcelain look more expensive than it is.
Organization
Make sure to include medicine cabinets with mirrors, cabinets underneath the sink or shelves for added storage. You may not realize just how much stuff you have in your San Antonio bathroom, but it would be disappointing, after remodeling, to still not have enough space.
