Essential Elements to Consider for Your Bathroom Remodel

By Bryan Slowick | May 26, 2025

When it comes to home upgrades, bathroom remodeling is one of the most rewarding investments homeowners can make. The BDS team knows that a well-designed bathroom not only boosts your daily comfort but also adds value to your home. Whether you're renovating a cozy powder room or a full master bath, here are the key elements to consider before starting your project.

 

Functionality First

Start by defining how you use the space. Is it a busy family bathroom that needs durable surfaces and ample storage? Or are you dreaming of a spa-like retreat? Your lifestyle should drive the design. The BDS team is happy to talk through potential layout changes, the number of sinks, walk-in showers versus tubs, and storage needs to perfectly fit your needs.

 

 

Smart Layout and Space Planning

Homes in the Northshore area, from classic colonials to modern builds, offer a range of bathroom sizes. An efficient layout makes all the difference. Our team is here to help maximize space with custom vanities, recessed shelving, or pocket doors. If you're updating an older home, be prepared for surprises like outdated plumbing or structural quirks that may influence layout choices which is why a remodel company that specializes in this area is key.

 

 

Luxury Upgrades for the Northshore Area

The long winters can be brutal here creating a desire for solutions to combat the cold. The addition of a heated floor system with a remodel can truly transform the feel of the space. A heated towel rack can also be an added bonus for fighting back the cold winter mornings.

 

 

Lighting: Natural & Artificial

Good lighting can transform your bathroom. Our team loves to incorporate layers of lighting—ambient for general use, task lighting around mirrors, and accent lighting to highlight design features. If your space allows, adding or enlarging a window or skylight can bring in welcome natural light.

 

 

Style That Reflects You
