Designing the Bathroom while Saving yourself Money
The first thing to do is to measure the area you want to renovate. Make you sure you take down the exact dimensions of all the constructs, as well as the floor and the walls. The amount of space to be renovated is often one of the determining factors for the price.
The second thing to do is to make a list of all the different products, fixtures and major accessories you'll want to purchase for your bathroom. You need to be sure on what style you want to have in your washroom so that you can purchase your items accordingly. Besides their design, you should also pay much attention to the materials out of which your desired products are constructed, since they will not only determine a big chunk of the price, they will also dictate how long it will live.
After you've taken down measurements you should draw a plan of your washroom. Scale it perfectly, and you'll be able to see if certain potential products fit the specifications of your bathroom. You can also use sketches to try out some of your own ideas if you wish.
After the plan has been set, it would be a very wise idea to get into contact with a construction professional, such as a designer or a contractor, and have him/her go over your plan with you; their advice may prove to be extremely valuable.
