Which Bathroom Remodeling Project Should I Pick First?
Half-Bath vs Master Bath
The first thing to consider when deciding on a bathroom remodel is: which bathroom do you want to start with? If you have one bathroom, this decision is instantly easier, but for 2+ bathroom homes, you need to pick whether to start with a bathroom that is just for you or a bathroom that guests will also see. Your budget and time constraints will help you make this decision, too, because one bathroom might be bigger or have more complicated plumbing, and that will add to your costs.Bathtub vs Shower
Another decision you’ll need to make is whether you’re going with a bathtub, a bathtub/shower combo, or a custom shower.Bathtubs are great for relaxation, but they can take up more floor space than a regular shower. For families with small children, however, bubble baths are an impossible opportunity to pass up, and there’s something elegant about a bathtub as the focal point for a master bathroom.
A shower gives you more space to work with, as well as beautiful tile designs to bring out your own style. However, shower floors can be slippery and hazardous if someone isn’t being too careful.
Our vote: Choose the shower. Showers can be modified to suit a variety of lifestyle needs and equipped with bars and benches to make everyone comfortable. Plus, there is a wide variety of glass tile available that is perfect for recessed shelving or accents in your shower.
Countertops vs Cabinets
Maybe you aren’t quite ready to start with the plumbing. It may be time to decide whether or not you want to start remodeling your bathroom by replacing the cabinets or by updating the countertops.Our vote: If your budget allows, do both! Updating your cabinets is the perfect time to reevaluate your countertops and see if they offer the right amount of space, whether you’re relaxing in your own oasis or letting friends get ready at your place before going out for the night. If you only have room for a vanity, there are still plenty of beautiful styles to choose from. And we’ve saved the best for last: when you work with Quest Interiors to replace your bathroom cabinets and countertops, we’ll handle the installation, so you can trust that your vision is in good hands.
