Mould build up, cracked or lifting tiles, water damaged cabinetry, or just a bathroom that’s seen better days can spur homeowners to seek an update. Re-sale value aside, getting on top of water damage early on and keeping your bathroom clean and safe also has financial benefits in the long run.

A bathroom renovation provides lifestyle returns that can be reaped every day. Beautiful, well-planned bathrooms can offer comfort and relaxation during the times when we might be rushing to get ready in the morning or get the kids bathed before bed. By putting some thought into what type of space your family requires you can optimise the functionality to suit your lifestyle. A family bathroom including a toilet; a separate powder room closer to the living area; a bathroom with a double vanity for the teenagers to share (sans bath); a spa-like ensuite haven—it’s up to you.

Once you have the practical decisions made you get to bring it to life with your own personal style. As renovators, our job is to bring your dreams to life. Whatever your style, plan, budget, it’s our job to work with you to achieve the best possible outcome.

Here are some tips and ideas which can help preserve your budget and ensure that your renovated bathroom is as functional as it is beautiful:

Following current trends will produce stunning results; just make sure that your bathroom design will stand the test of time and won’t polarise buyers.
Planning a renovation which keeps existing plumbing in place rather than relocating it can save significant money.
Splash out on a statement tile as a feature but use less expensive tiling for the rest of the room.
Floor-to-ceiling tiling or panelling creates instant luxury.
Storage, storage, storage. Face height storage is a must and there are so many beautiful options available that you’ll be spoiled for choice. Choose a vanity with spacious drawers and/or cupboards that have enough capacity for all the family’s essentials (and luxuries).
Keep the wet areas in the same zone. You don’t want to walk through the post-bedtime-bath mess to get to the toilet. Have the bath and shower furthest from the door.
A narrow bathroom can benefit from a wet room (enclosing both the bath and shower behind a screen).
Hide the toilet from view. Locating the toilet behind a nib wall or placing it on the same wall as the door means that it’s not the first thing you see as you enter.
A neutral palette can be glammed up with textured tiles or mosaics and styled with coloured towels and décor items. This maintains the flexibility and longevity of your bathroom.
Be consistent with the metal you select for fixtures and fittings—taps, towel rails, toilet roll holders, shower frame, waste covers. Aim for a cohesive look.
A single statement piece can be enough to create the desired wow factor without destroying the budget. Think backlit mirror, timber vanity, elegant pendant light.
Test out your toilet and bath in-store before you buy. Check the toilet seat is comfortable and the right height; make sure that you can recline comfortably in the bath, or reach all the way in to bath the kids without straining your back.
Consider light and ventilation. A high window that can be opened but doesn’t eat into the floorplan, a picture window looking out to a private green space, a skylight. Put some thought into your options.
As well as natural light, make sure that your lighting won’t cast shadows across your face when standing in front of the mirror. Light the whole room but pay particular attention to lighting the vanity area.
Style with indoor plants to bring life and freshness to the room. Select plants that will appreciate the humidity and will thrive in the light you have available.

Because there are so many different types of additions, they are a perfect way to customize your home and add the space you need. Deciding to build is the first step, but this is where a lot of homeowners hesitate.

You want an addition, but you’ve heard the horror stories: contractors who begin work, ignore the project timeline and budget, and leave the project half-finished.

You want a beautiful, functional new space in your home – not a headache that will cost a fortune and never be completed! So how can you avoid home addition delays and disruptions?

How to Avoid Home Addition Delays & Disruptions

  1. Hire the right contractor. Who is the right contractor? There are a lot of things to think about when hiring a general contractor for your project. Do they have experience with the type of work you’re looking to have done? For example, if you’re building an addition, you shouldn’t hire a roofing contractor. Are they trustworthy? Research the contractors: look for reviews online and ask them if they are willing to give you references. Are they qualified? Does the work you’re doing require a licensed professional? Doing your research in the beginning will help you to find a qualified professional – not an amatuer.
  2. Plan (and plan and plan… and plan). Most addition disruptions and delays simply come from poor planning. Make sure before you begin any addition project that your contractor completely understands what you are looking for and has detailed all of it in your contract so that there’s no confusion. But remember, planning involves both the contractor and you. If you have new ideas halfway through the project, there will be a delay, so be an active part of the planning process to make sure you ask for exactly what you want early on.
  3. Get relevant permits. Your contractor breaks down your wall… and then someone from the city shows up. If you and your contractor haven’t paid attention to your area’s building codes and gotten the necessary permits, your project will be halted. But this is an easily avoidable delay! Your contractor should have an understanding of building codes (if they don’t, go back to square one and pick a new contractor!). Once they have a full understanding of your project, your contractor should know what permits are necessary and should help you get them. No contractor should begin work without the proper permits.
  4. Make the project timeline clear. Once you and your contractor have a plan, they should have an idea of when the job can be completed. Your contractor should be able to lay out a general timeline of when each piece of the addition will be completed. Understand that this won’t be an exact timeline – some delays just can’t be avoided. Unexpected weather (like spring snowstorms!), a backup at the permit office, or waiting on shipments of the right material for the job can and will slow things down even if you’ve planned perfectly. However, having a general idea of the timeline will hold your contractor accountable so your project doesn’t end up taking several years!

Taking the Next Step

A home addition can help to make your home exactly what you’ve dreamed of, but it’s no small commitment.
