Westchester Bathroom Remodeling: How to Think about Your Project
A bathroom remodeling or renovation project is exciting, it’s fun to watch your plans come into focus.
Of course, there are practical incentives; adding a modern-upgraded bathroom to your home will add to its value. There is no question. Then there are the savings; certain choices you make will yield greater savings than others. For example, adding eco-star appliances (faucets and toilets), heaters, and modern lighting will bring a measurable and immediate return on your investment in the project.
But the truth is, few of us renovate our bathrooms with ROI on the very top of the list. The reasons we remodel our bathrooms are even more apparent. We want our bathrooms to reflect our household, provide refuge for our families and guests alike, and do what great bathrooms have always done, serve as a respite from the rush of the day.
The bathroom is the one room we all use alone and in these moments, we each enjoy a calming, welcoming environment to have a moment to ourselves.
First, considering a bathroom remodel is one thing and a bathroom renovation is another. They are two very different propositions. The words “renovate” and “remodel” are often used interchangeably but this is one time when it helps to focus on differences.
A renovation refers to restoring something to a previous state, while a remodel refers to creating something new.
Our best piece of advice when thinking about a bathroom renovation or remodel is to determine which one you want and which one you need. Then you can establish a budget and decide how much of your bathroom should be changed and how you want to allocate your budget. After that its time to get creative.
When you know what you are doing and why – the next question is how and for what. When we sit down with Westchester County homeowners to talk about updating or renovating their bathroom a clear set of project goals and objectives is a great roadmap for us to work from.
Everyone’s taste is personal, everyone’s perfect bathroom is only perfect based on their use and preference.

Bathroom Remodeling
A bathroom remodel is a true bathroom makeover and such projects commonly include changing the layout of fixtures, removing or moving walls, updating the plumbing system, adding a tub or shower and the list could be literally endless.
Bathroom additions are popular and range in size and scope. From bump out additions to complete bathroom construction.
Remodel Design Concepts
It may be time for you to convert the master bathroom into a home spa. With brand new fixtures including double sinks and a new shower or stand-alone tub. You may want to repaint or add a new tile design to the floor or walls. A complete custom remodel may involve a bathroom addition to your home with new construction.
Modern bathrooms now emphasize sustainable living by incorporating wood and recycled materials into the design. This may include converting an old dresser into a vanity or a colorful bowl into a sink.
Other elements of this biophilic design concept include water-saving faucets, skylights and windows for natural light, and even plants. Walls and fixtures are often shades of green to bring the outside inside.
