A bathroom is one of the most essential spaces in your home, so why not make it the best it can be? The professionals at Little River Development are here to help you transform your bathroom into a space that adds both comfort and value to your home.
A bathroom remodel doesn’t mean you have to take the space down to the studs. You can update an outdated bathroom to a more modern style with tweaks as minor as a new faucet or paint color—or with changes as grand as adding built-in cabinets and installing a new vanity.
If you’re considering starting a bathroom remodel project, read on to learn what timeline to expect with the completion of the remodel and what changes you can make to give your bathroom a new life.
How Long Does It Take to Remodel a Bathroom?
After obtaining the required permits, which may take anywhere from two weeks to several months, you can expect to spend roughly 21 days or longer on your bathroom remodel. This includes time for demolition, plumbing, electrical work, insulation, drywall, painting, tiling, cabinetry, flooring, and fixture installation. While timelines can vary, it’s common for a bathroom remodel to take approximately three weeks.
Here are five bathroom remodeling ideas that can add value to your home.
Bathroom Remodeling Ideas
- Make a Small Bathroom Feel Larger with Built-in Cabinets
If storage is your primary need, adding built-in cabinets can make a world of difference. Custom cabinetry ensures that the cabinets are tailored to your specific needs, including custom heights, drawer sizes, and even compartments with built-in electrical outlets. For a cohesive look, sand and paint or stain both new and existing cabinets the same color and use matching hardware. Light-colored finishes can make the space feel larger. - Focus on Your Bathroom Vanity
An outdated vanity can quickly age a bathroom. If you like your current vanity’s style, consider updates like a new countertop or a fresh coat of paint. For more significant changes, such as converting a single vanity to a double, hiring a licensed plumber is recommended to ensure proper installation. Little River Development can guide you through design choices, whether you’re looking for a vintage, modern, or industrial look. - Add a Walk-In Shower or Freestanding Tub
High-end bathrooms often feature walk-in showers with multiple showerheads and freestanding soaking tubs, creating a spa-like atmosphere. Consider upgrades like rainfall showerheads or even high-tech features like Bluetooth speaker showerheads. For a sleek, modern aesthetic, explore the concept of a wet room, where the entire bathroom is designed to handle moisture. - Update Your Floor Tile or Flooring
Flooring is one of the most dramatic changes you can make in a bathroom. Options include ceramic tile, vinyl, laminate, and even engineered wood for moisture resistance. Updating existing tile with epoxy paint or refreshing grout lines can also give your bathroom a new look without a complete overhaul. - Upgrade Your Light Fixtures
Lighting can dramatically impact the ambiance of your bathroom. Consider adding skylights if natural light is limited, or invest in quality LED lighting with dimmable features for versatile mood settings. Layering different types of lighting, such as sconces, pendants, and task lighting, can create a luxurious feel.
