Bathroom Style

Begin by identifying the style of the bathroom you envision and base your purchase decisions around this. Choose the color, the vanity and the bathroom fixtures on the style you selected. Gather pictures from magazines of ideas that you like and pick a consistent look.
Layout
-
Decide on the layout for the bathroom. If you plan to move any plumbing, see if permits are needed to complete your remodeling job. For small bathrooms where layout may stay the same, use mirrors to visually enlarge the space.

Contractor

Once layout and fixtures are decided on, hire a contractor. Get referrals from friends who have had successful remodels. Obtain written estimates from at least three different licensed contractors and choose one that has a good reputation.
