Bathroom remodeling has quickly overtaken kitchen remodeling as the most popular home renovation projects for U.S. homeowners. There are a lot of reasons of why this change has occurred, but mostly it comes down to the cost of the project. Often doing a complete remodel of the bathroom versus the kitchen can be significantly more budget friendly, largely because of the cost of appliances, cabinets and countertops in the kitchen.
A lot of times it does not take a lot to complete a simple makeover of a bathroom that makes a big difference. Here are a few simple bathroom remodeling contractor tips to help you make the most out of your project:

Lighting: Make sure you have sufficient lighting, including both natural and artificial light. The more windows the more open the space will feel, it really makes a big difference if the bathroom is not too big to begin with.

Painting: Painting is the easiest and most cost effective way to make a quick change in your bathroom. When choosing colors, try to make the color choice a soothing color that makes the bathroom feel relaxing and open-aired to create your own personal spa.

Eliminate the Tub: As a bathroom remodeling contractor we are seeing more and more clients get rid of their bathtub. A few years ago, that would have been a looked down upon in regards to the resale value of your home. However, with many people making the change, it has grown mass appeal and is no longer considered taboo. Eliminating the tub will keep your budget lower with not having to by a tub (especially a whirlpool) and it will make the room feel much larger.

Of course there are many other things to consider, here is a recent article that has a few more details:
