If you’re considering hiring Chevy Chase Exteriors or another contractor to do your bathroom remodel, here are some things to consider for your planning process.
-
Ventilation
Ventilation may not be the funniest part of a bathroom remodel, but it is one of the most important. According to code, ventilation for a bathroom is required, but how much and how noisy it is is up to you. I recommend a powerful fan, that operates with minimal noise.
-
More mirrors
Mirrors will make your bathroom look bigger, and serve a functional purpose. Strategic placement of mirrors will allow you to see the back of your head for help with hair-dos and make a room brighter.
-
Shower/bath
Do you want a shower, a bath, both, or a combination of the two? To some extent this is decided by the amount of space you have.
A glass door will make a walk in shower seem bigger, or if you waterproof the surrounding area you can even go doorless. A shower curtain is easy to change as you want to change the look of the bathroom though, and is easy to use if you are bathing kids.
-
Wainscoting/beadboard
To protect the bottom of your wall, you’ll want either wainscoting or beadboard. Either will help keep moisture out of the walls of your home, and thus protect them.
-
Storage
Hang hooks where you can for things like bathrobes, towels, and even folding makeup kits. Is there room in your bathroom remodel to put a linen closet? What about toilet paper storage?
