Tools

If you've ever renovated a bathroom, then you know there are so many details to take into consideration, like how to choose a shower head, how to measure a shower door, how to measure and choose the right toilet, how to choose the right bathtub, and how to hang that heavy mirror.  Since I have been helping my parents with some design choices for their bathroom renovation, the need for some expert advice on bathroom renovating has come to my attention.  So, I pulled together a few articles that will hopefully give you the basic information you need.  


How to Choose a Shower Head for Your Bathroom Renovation

When picking out a shower head, I had no idea how many options there were.  You can choose between a fixed, adjustable, rain, handheld, dual or sliding shower head.  Each brand and type of shower head also have different options within them, like preset options, water flow and other personal adjustments.

If you want more information on what to look for and how to install, visit How to Change a Showerhead.  


How to Install a Shower Door for Your Bathroom Renovation

Oh, how we underestimate the value of choosing the right toilet!  We often want to rush through this part of the bathroom renovation because it is not the most glamorous aspect of our renovation, but because of the practicality of your toilet, it is important not to rush past this one.  Make sure you know how to choose and measure the right throne for your space.  You won't regret it if you do.

How to Choose the Right Bathtub for Your Bathroom Renovation



Bathtubs also come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  You can go with a freestanding or a tiled-in version, but no matter your preference, there are many things to consider before selecting, measuring, and installing.  Here are your reference points for bathtub installation:

The mirror you choose for your bathroom renovation has the potential of bringing so much style to your new space.  The fabulous Chip Wade teamed up with Wayfair to create a guide on installing your bathroom mirror: Chip Wade's Wayfair Guide to Hanging Your Vanity Mirror.  It will give you a peak into how to hang that heavy, but important, element for your bathroom renovation.

I hope the information provided here will help ease your mind as you make all of those important decisions for your bathroom renovation.  Be on the lookout, I will be posting my parents' bathroom renovation soon, and it is a MUST SEE!
