Every homeowner dreams of having a larger bathroom but few know just how easy it can be to expand your existing bathroom rather than building a brand new one. Bathroom remodeling expansions are easiest when you work with a professional design team to plan the project; however, we can give you a few tips and tricks to make the renovations easier on you.

Expanding the Bathroom

When you are expanding your bathroom, you will need to take space from somewhere else. There are a few places that our bathroom remodeling crews consider best practices for where to take space.

  • Closet- Many times the bathroom has a nearby closet that shares at least one wall. You can expand the bathroom space by taking out the closet and using that square footage for a new sink, vanity, or even changing the position of the toilet.
  • Bumping out the Wall- If the bathroom you are working on is a master bathroom connected to another room, you can bump out the wall and expand into a room that you are willing to lose space in. The wall the bathroom window is on ,or the wall that is also an exterior wall of the home, can also easily be bumped out to expand the bathroom and create more square footage without taking from your bedroom or a closet.

Where to Put a New Bathroom

If you are looking to create a brand-new bathroom there are multiple ways you can convert spaces in creative ways to add additional bathrooms. Bathroom remodeling professionals have many tips and tricks to making these types of projects most successful.

Consider converting these spaces into additional bathrooms:

  • Utility Rooms
  • Closets
  • Mud Rooms
  • Space under the Stairs
  • In the Basement
  • Guest Bedrooms
  • Adult child’s former bedroom
  • An office
  • Pantry

You can turn nearly any space within your home into a luxury bathroom easily by hiring professional contractors to take the lead. This eliminates a lot of your risk and guarantees a job well done.
