Bathroom renovation guides, tile trends, fixture selections, layout ideas, and tips for creating spa-like retreats. Everything you need to plan your bathroom remodel.
The best aging in place bathroom ideas are a shower you can walk into without stepping over a high edge, grab bars anchored into solid blocking, a seat in the shower, slip resistant flooring and good lighting. Those changes make the bathroom easier and safer to use as needs change, and they can look like […]
A budget bathroom remodel that holds up comes down to two rules: keep the plumbing where it is, and spend on the parts that protect the room, like waterproofing and a solid floor, before the parts you only look at. Get those right and you can save on finishes without the room wearing out early. […]
The right bathroom remodel order is plan, demolish, rough in the plumbing and electrical, close the walls and waterproof, set the tub or shower base, tile, then install the vanity, toilet, fixtures and trim. Each step depends on the one before it, so getting the sequence right is what keeps you from tearing out new […]

A primary bathroom remodel works best when you plan it around the two people who use it every morning: enough room at the vanity, a shower that fits how you actually wash, a toilet with some privacy, and storage where you need it. Get those four things right and the finishes are the easy part. […]
Walk-in shower vs. tub: a walk-in shower is usually the better choice for a primary bathroom that the adults in the house use every day, while a tub is usually the better choice when it is the only full bath in the home or small kids live there. If your house has two full baths, […]
