Tips For Adding A New Bathroom To Your Home
Adding a new bathroom to your home is a great investment. Not only does it make your home more usable, but it can also enhance the value of your property should you decide to sell. However, before you get started, you need to sit down and take some time to determine exactly what you need.
One of the first things to do is determine exactly how much space you have available. If you are converting an existing space into a bathroom, you will need to make sure that you have planned for any rerouting of utilities that may be required. If you are adding a room on to your home, make sure that you are able to easily extend pipes and electrical wiring.
Whenever you are renovating or adding on to your home, you need to be sure that you are in compliance with local regulations. For example, there are often strict building codes when it comes to electrical wiring in bathrooms, due to the increased risk of shock. Make sure that whoever is doing the work is aware of these regulations.
Think about what sort of bathroom you want. Do you want a full bathroom with a sink, toilet, and shower, or a half-bath that just has a toilet and sink? Installing a tub or shower obviously requires more work and will be more expensive.
Who will be using the bathroom most of the time? If it will primarily be used by only one person, a single sink is often enough. However, if there will be several people who share the bathroom, having two sinks installed can help make everyone happy.
To improve ventilation and avoid moisture problems in your home, plan to have an exhaust fan installed. This is particularly important if you are using an interior space that does not have a window or any other sort of ventilation. Without an exhaust fan, the bathroom will be quite moist, which can lead to mildew and other problems.
Remember to allow for enough space around all of the fixtures in your new bathroom. This is particularly important if you have a limited amount of space. A bathroom where there is not enough room is going to feel too cramped to really be usable. Check to make sure that the door can open comfortably without running into any of the fixtures as well.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can make sure that your new addition works well for everyone in your home.

For instance for some a bath is very important, for others it takes up unnecessary space and a larger shower is much more desirable.
