How to Start a bathroom Renovation
The Question
There are two renovations that are rumoured to cause the most stress in a relationship– kitchens and bathrooms. When looking at kitchens, this makes sense. It’s where our families start their days to go their separate ways, but it’s also the space where our families come back together at the end of each day. It’s where big life conversations happen with teens late at night and where we (begrudgingly) take that first sip of coffee the next morning.
But none of this applies to bathrooms…at least it shouldn’t. And this
begs the question – what makes bathroom renovations difficult?
The Reasons
The average person spends 400 days of their life in the washroom. This includes grooming, bathing, and other important business. And, reflective of these important tasks, our bathrooms have evolved to reflect our personal tastes, comfort, and preferences. Long gone are the days of the single purpose wooden outhouse and, in more recent past, gone is the utilitarian single bathroom serving a whole household. Single homes may now include powder rooms, ensuites, and jack’n’jill bathrooms. A shower may have a simple rain head or include body jets or handheld shower arms. A tub may be built-in with the shower or a statement stand alone piece with floor mounted controls. Even a toilet may be a simple comfort height with soft-close lid or upgrading to include a bidet option or a seat that opens automatically. Our personal preferences, desires, and lifestyles play significantly into how we use these spaces and this, in turn, creates additional hurdles when considering renovating a bathroom.
