Spending more time at home has put increased focus on bathrooms for homeowners, which is why one of the top home improvement trends of 2021 is adding or updating these spaces.

Fortunately, remodeling or adding a bathroom DIY-style can be much easier than you may think with some planning and expert tips.

From the inspiration stage to layout planning and beyond, there are many important factors to keep in mind. DIY expert Sammy Pampani shares simple guidance and easy advice for a successful DIY bathroom project.

Know technical terms

As you explore inexpensive DIY solutions for the bathroom, make sure to understand technical terminology. You don’t need to be a plumbing or electrical expert to be successful, but you want to be knowledgeable so you make the right choices and take the correct steps. What’s more, having a basic knowledge of technical aspects will help you describe any issues accurately and get potential problems solved if you need to contact the company’s help center or call in a pro.

Lay out your bathroom design

Utilize basic tools to help plan the layout of your bathroom. For example, spreadsheets can provide a clear view of how designs will come together. Keep in mind, just because something looks good on paper does not necessarily mean it will be perfect in reality. It’s important to be flexible and make necessary adjustments as you go. Having a layout to guide you will be essential to keeping track of what does and does not work.
