When you know you are in your forever home, it makes sense to transform outdated areas into your own personal spaces. Instead of worrying about what future buyers might think of your choices and sticking to all neutrals, you can use colors, shapes, and other fun features that you and you alone will enjoy! Bathrooms are a very personal space and can be a fun area for you to branch out in your creativity. However, just because you live in your dream home doesn’t mean you’ve been given your dream budget! A skilled plumbing contractor can help you get your dream bathroom while still keeping your budget in mind.
One of the first things you need to do is get creative. There are so many options for purchasing fixtures or staples for your dream bathroom that there’s no reason you need to be boxed in by the big-box stores when shopping. Try checking online or in the clearance section for tile, knobs, or even countertops. Of course, if you’re too busy to do this part, your plumbing contractor can easily compile options for your consideration.
The next thing you’ll need to do is prioritize. What are the features that you really want and will enjoy and what are some things that you can take or leave? If you absolutely love the fancy wall tile, maybe you’ll need to scale back on the number of faucets or the walk-in shower. Discuss this with your plumbing contractor carefully to make sure there are no misunderstandings.
Another tip is to look for high-quality, used products. Things like cast-iron tubs can be sanded and re-glazed for a fraction of the cost of a new one. Things like faucets, sinks, knobs and sometimes tile can be worked into a design with a little creativity.
If you’re ready for your dream bathroom, reach out to your local plumbing contractor to get started.
