Why Bathroom Renovation
Who doesn't love a newly designed bathroom with enhanced looks and functionality. The aftermath of bathroom renovation transforms the bathroom into more visually appealing retreat making the day to day activity more efficient and enjoyable. Utilizing the existing space or remodeling the space can turn personal space with a sense of comfort and relaxation. With modern fixtures like water saving fixtures and energy efficient lighting reduces considerable home utility cost. Alternatively, if you are planning to sell your house and buy a new one, bathroom renovation can potentially increase resale value making it a wise investment. A large number of Australians love to customize their bathroom according to their needs and convenience making the daily use more efficient.
Before diving in or starting bathroom renovation project, it is essential to study and prepare carefully. Some serious study on the budget that you can spend, for the design supporting materials and fixtures is most crucial. You can either hire professionals who do all of this for you after taking a certain fee or you can make it your DO It Yourself(DIY) project. You can continue and learn until you need professional help. For projects like bathroom renovations, it is quite important to decide early than regret later. So professional guidance and solutions are highly recommended unless you are on a tight budget. We decided to go with eco friendly materials like recycled glass tiles and low VOC paints for low environmental impact along with low budget cost. After all of the planning is done it is necessary to equate between the needs and budget of the project.
However considering Bathroom Renovation as DIY project is the most cost effective solution for a low budget bathroom repair and remodel. But with limited knowledge and potential safety risks it is quite time consuming with no guarantee and warranty of work. Imagine yourself as a working individual with a home and only one bathroom. How would the daily scenario be like? So i suggest taking expert help in such situation as there are easily available Australian Bathroom experts ready to showcase their skills within Australian Territory.
While bathroom remodel can greatly improve the functionality and bathroom experiences there are some factors that appear challenging during and after the renovation process.
Bathroom renovation in Australia is not handy as it comes to price. The cost lies somewhat between 2000$ to 25000$ starting with minor upgrade to major ones. We personally had experienced budget overrun with unexpected rising expenses, plumbing and materials issues with timeline delay. Our Bathroom renovation project took longer than intended with rising complications and errors. Our main problem was a limited space and we had more on our minds to do list. The worst decision we did was making it our DIY project in the beginning rather than seeking professional help and services. Eventually we did call for professional help after we got stuck and had no other option, i suggest you make the call early.
There is an universal debate between quality and cost that every one of us have faced between different sections of life. In this case the cost of quality materials and workmanship stands with time which is quite challenging. Confusion between the right product and finding reliable people is also equally challenging in Australia. Also be prepared for un-forseen issues that may arise with time and situations that slows down the renovation process.
Conclusion
Finally our bathroom renovation project was completed with expert operation and the best part about our remodel involve perks of ventilation and storage. With proper air flow, the quality of air flow is enhanced reducing un-pleasant odor. With spacious storage, items can be organized and accessed easily on cabinets and selves while maintaining aesthetic looks. By the application of universal design principles our bathroom is accessible to the people of all age and abilities. One most important upgrade was the curbless shower which is relatively easier to clean and provided luxury spa like shower feeling.
We focused on energy-efficiency lighting options with LED bulbs, to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. But in my opinion installing dimmer switches could have been better, with adjustment for the brightness of the lights to suit different activities and moods. Dimming the lights could have created a relaxing ambiance for overall illumination for the bathroom. Alternatively we could have opt out for modern materials like smart lighting technology, sensor faucets and backlit mirrors which could have aided in our day to day performance. I want to personally give special credit to Plumbing At Its Finest for this special makeover.
