By Amy Long


There are various reasons in renovating a bathroom. There may be some things that needs repair or replacement. It could be that you want to add new things or update the new look of your current one. Or maybe you are moving in to your new house and want to change it to suit your taste.

Whatever the reason may be, you have to think of a few important things before starting this project. There are things to consider and prepare as well so you can do it smoothly and finish it as soon as possible. And if you lack skills or confidence in doing it yourself, there are companies that do bathroom renovations in Manitoba that can help you with it.

Start with the budget. Determine the essential things to buy and look for options that will fit within your budget. You could also determine which areas and items that you can use your creativity to help you save money so that you can use it instead on other items that needs to be bought.

Write down and differentiate the items that are needs and wants. Make the things you need a priority when planning to which to buy first and if the budget allows it then you can also buy the non essential things too. Have them all ready before you start renovating to have the work not interrupted in waiting for other items to arrive.

Make a small bathroom look spacious by using all the available room wisely. Have a plan on where to store your toiletries and where all items will be located to avoid in making the room look messy. Using a recessed shelf to store shampoos, soaps, toothpastes and other products will help maximize the space available.

Lighting and illumination are important and make sure to have the proper levels that you need. Having the proper illumination while doing your morning routine will help you finish faster. It can make sure that you will be able to shave your facial hair properly or your make up will be well applied. Dim lights will also help you relax while taking a bath and will add a great ambiance and accent.

Ventilating the room properly is important too. Ventilate it by having a window that can be opened or by using fans that vent to the outside. This will keep your bathroom dry and prevent molds and mildew caused by moisture.

A fresh coat of paint will make the bathroom look brand new. Do not be afraid to try bold colors that could give it a modern feel. You could use neutral colors like white as well to give it an illusion of having a bigger space than it actually have. Using towels, shower curtains, rugs and other accessories as accents will give the room a nice finish. They can be easily replaced as well and can be used to give a new feel every time.

When hiring professionals to do the work for you, make sure to ask for their references and sample work. If possible, ask opinions from people who previously hired them. Do not forget to include the labor cost in the budget as well.
