Questions to Consider Before a Bathroom Remodel
A bathroom remodel may not be as big an undertaking as a kitchen, but it still pays to set your budget and priorities before you begin. A little planning up front makes the whole process smoother.
Answer these four sets of questions to turn your current bathroom into the one you've been dreaming of.
1. What Is Your Overall Goal?
Start with the purpose of the remodel. Are you looking for:
- An updated look?
- Better organization and storage?
- More counter space?
- A new tub, shower or sink?
- A new floor plan or layout?
2. Space Questions
- Do I need more space, or just a better layout?
- Should I replace a tub with a shower, or the reverse?
- Does the space need to be accessible for aging in place?
- Who will use this bathroom most?
- Do I need better ventilation?

4. Design Questions
- Do I need better or updated lighting?
