Bathroom Remodel Planning Guide
A practical checklist to help you plan a bathroom remodel with fewer surprises.
Define your goals and priorities
Start with how you use the bathroom today. Is storage the problem? Do you need a safer shower? Make a short list of must-haves and a second list of nice-to-haves. This keeps the scope clear when selecting materials and fixtures.
Plan the layout and clearances
Measurements matter. Good spacing around the toilet, vanity, and shower makes the room feel larger. If you’re moving plumbing, plan early so the budget accounts for that change.
- Confirm door swing and shower clearance.
- Check vanity width, storage depth, and lighting placement.
- Plan for accessibility and future needs.
Waterproofing and ventilation
Bathrooms are high-moisture spaces. Proper waterproofing, tile prep, and ventilation prevent mold, peeling paint, and tile failures. It’s one of the biggest factors in long-term durability.
Choose durable finishes
Pick tile and flooring that handle water well and are easy to clean. Fixtures should match both style and function. Ask about maintenance and longevity before you decide.
