Kitchen and Bath Contractors Tips for a Smooth Remodel

By / Bathroom Remodel, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Kitchen and Bath Contractors Tips for a Smooth Remodel

Kitchen and bath remodeling requires thinking about everyday activities in a different way. While your new rooms transform, so does your life. Follow these tips from kitchen and bath contractors to live with minimal disruption during the remodeling process.

Kitchen

Set up a mini-kitchen either outside or inside. If outside, you can make use of a propane grill or Coleman Stove. You can even use electric appliances under covered, dry areas when the weather is nice. Thankfully in Southern California, that’s most days.

Inside, designate a space as the temporary kitchen. If you have a utility sink and a front-loading washer and dryer, you have a water source and flat surfaces for preparing and cooking food.

Lean heavily into multi-cooker devices like the Ninja multi-cookers that operate as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, air fryer, and food steamer. In place of a multi-cooker, you can use a large toaster oven as your oven and toaster. Either way, make sure you have a mini-microwave and portable fridge.

Invest in disposable utensils, plates, bowls, and cups. No, it’s not the most eco-friendly way to live through a kitchen remodel, but it will save your sanity.

If the laundry room is a no-go space, give your bathrooms a hard look. Look for a water source and flat surfaces

Bathroom

This one is a bit easier. Whether the bath contractor works in the master bathroom or a shared or spare bathroom, you’ll be down one set of sinks, toilet, and bathing area. Most Orange County homes have more than one bathroom. That makes doubling up easier. Easier, not easy.

To make it easy, plan bathing schedules in advance. Split bath and grooming times for family members between mornings and bedtime. If you have a large or busy family, don’t be afraid to post a schedule and make sure everyone sticks to it!

Get organized & portable with a shower caddy

Use portable storage containers.  Shop online or visit your local big box store and look for personal hygiene caddies marketed for dorm living. They make the perfect vessel for organizing and storing your personal care products while you are using a second bathroom.

Don’t forget to take advantage of your gym’s shower facilities. Feel free to use the shower even if you didn’t work out first. Go ahead, you paid for the membership, take full advantage of it!

Creative Tile Designs Elevate Shower Spaces

Transform your bathroom into a personalized oasis through the creative use of tile. A shower remodel offers plenty of opportunity to mix and match tile colors and patterns. Why settle for walls and floors with the same design?

In the bathroom above, the shower remodel extended the subway tile on the walls while using a floor tile with a design that emulates the floor tile outside the shower. With so much glass in the shower these days, it’s important to create design cohesion inside and outside the shower.

This shower remodel creates an accent wall with pattern tile from the same color family. The gold fixtures add additional warmth to this design.

Invest in high-quality materials and timeless design elements to ensure your bathroom remains stylish and functional for years to come.

Use either natural light from windows or skylights to highlight your tile. The natural light filtered through the window shade above the tub brings out the beauty of the black tile and highlights the contrast with the light grout and shower floor tile.  Next to paint, no other design element provides such a wide array of choices than wall and floor tile.

Take the remodel as an opportunity to personalize your space with decorative tile accents to make the shower space your own.

Smart Water Saving Fixtures

Consider adding luxurious touches such as a rainfall showerhead. Whether mounted on the wall or ceiling. many modern fixtures can increase pressure while reducing flow. You get the feel of more water while using less.

Hand-held shower heads and vertical spas also offer water-saving options. Just because your shower remodel oozes luxury at every touch doesn’t mean it can’t be eco-friendly too.

Luxurious Shower Fixtures for a Stunning Upgrade

Choose high-quality materials and luxurious shower fixtures. Pick durable finishes like bright chrome, brushed nickel or matte black for a sophisticated look that is timeless and easy to care for. Invest in fixtures with innovative features such as thermostatic valves for consistent water temperature and anti-scald technology for safety.

The bright chrome plays off the cool tone gray tile in the first shower while the brushed nickel complements the warm tones in the second shower.
