Beautiful San Francisco Interior Remodel Bathroom Project
Bathrooms come in all shapes and sizes. The secret to creating the perfect bathroom for each individual space is to respect that space, carefully consider its use and your family’s size, and select materials that are both practical and esthetically pleasing to complement the design elements that you are using in the rest of your home. Also, a bathroom remodel needs to fit a family’s lifestyle and can come with a wide range of price tags depending on the shape and size of the room, any structural changes that are needed, the quality of materials used, toilet, tub, bathroom tile, and hardware chosen, and the amount of plumbing involved. You could spend $10-$15,000 for a medium sized job, or you could spend $30-$40,000, in some cases even more.
With such an important and sometimes daunting project, there are definite advantages to working with an experienced bathroom designer. At Jeanese Rowell Design, we make it a point to stay current on the latest bathroom design concepts, the pros and cons of various materials, and the increasing number of eco-friendly bathroom options. We also have relationships with the most cost-effective and skilled bathroom contractors and artisans. So, leveraging your designer’s experience and know-how can definitely be a plus.
One of our recent jobs is an excellent example of this. To describe “the before,” we started with a small bathroom with a very large bathtub and a tiny shower. The homeowners cared more about the shower than the tub and wanted the room to feel more spacious, with added storage and better lighting. After the remodel was done, the oversized tub was gone and bathroom elements had been reorganized for improved convenience and a better look. We installed a large shower with two water-efficient, low flow rain heads. We selected prefinished countertops especially prepared for us by a local supplier at 2/3 the cost of off-the-shelf counters. We used our trusted cabinetmaker to replace doors and build pull out bathroom cabinets placed strategically around the room, doubling the amount of storage space. And we used recessed bathroom lighting for a warm, updated look. The clients have told us that their updated bathroom is now their favorite room in the house.
When you make an important design decision for your home, you are probably going to be living with that decision for a long time, so consider letting us help you understand the many exciting options that are available to you. Because a bathroom is generally small, it often takes special creativity and expertise to “get it right.” You need the knowledge that comes from experience to successfully assemble all of the elements in a way that works in a functionally and esthetically pleasing way.
