Functionality should be the heart of your bathroom remodel. Read these tricks for gaining storage, improving lighting, drainage and more to ensure that your renovated bathroom stands the test of time.

3 Considerations For A Bathroom Remodel

1. Plumbing.

The larger the drain, the less likely it is to clog. The cost difference to upgrade drain is practically negligible, and unless your framing doesn’t allow for it, you should consider increasing the drain in your shower to 2 inches.

2. Lighting.

Consider adding some recessed lighting fixtures throughout your ceiling to brighten up the room. Include one or two in your shower; with the proper shower trim. Install a dimmer switch so you can adjust the mood lighting in your bathroom.

3. Floors.

Larger tiles are typically more difficult to slope properly, and unless they’re textured they’ll be more slippery because the grout lines are further apart. Smaller tiles, whether textured or not, offer more traction and are typically the norm for shower floors.
