Is your bathroom starting to feel a little tired? Maybe the style feels outdated, the storage is a mess, or you’re just ready for a fresh new look. Whether you’re thinking about a small update or a complete transformation, you’ve come to the right place. For over 30 years, Cabinet Discounters has been helping families just like yours turn their ordinary bathrooms into stunning, functional spaces they absolutely love.
The great thing about a bathroom remodel is that you can make a huge difference, no matter your budget. Sometimes, a simple change is all it takes. Swapping out old flooring for beautiful new tile, giving the walls a fresh coat of paint, or installing a sleek new vanity can completely change the feel of the room. The colors and styles you choose for your bathroom cabinets, flooring, and fixtures are your tools to create a whole new atmosphere.
We know starting a project can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to help at every single step. With convenient showroom locations in the DMV, you can visit us to see and touch the products, get expert advice, and start to picture your new space. You’re not in this alone!
Where Do You Even Start? Let’s Make a Plan.
The first step to any successful remodel is dreaming and planning. Are you working with the bathroom’s current layout, or are you thinking about moving walls and starting from scratch? Either way, we recommend a fun homework assignment: start a “Dream List.”
Grab a notebook or use your phone. Browse magazines, websites like Pinterest, and even our project galleries online. As you look, write down what you love. Is it the freestanding tub in one photo? The clever storage in another? The warm lighting in a third? Also, make a honest list of what’s not working in your current bathroom. Is it always cluttered? Is the shower too small? This list of likes and dislikes becomes your personal guide and the perfect starting point for our conversation.
Key Questions to Ask Yourself for Your Maryland Bathroom
Everyone knows a bathroom needs a vanity, toilet, and shower or tub. But the magic is in the details! Here are some important questions to think about as you plan:
1. Shower, Tub, or Both?
This is a big one. Not every bathroom has room for a large soaking tub, and that’s okay! Many people are choosing to replace an old, unused tub with a luxurious, spacious walk-in shower. Features like a rainfall showerhead, built-in benches, and even steam functions can turn your shower into a personal spa.
If you have kids or love a long soak, keeping or adding a tub might be the right choice. We can help you figure out what works best for your space and your life.
2. How Much Vanity and Storage Do You Need?
Think about your morning routine. Is there a traffic jam at the sink? If so, you might need a double vanity to give everyone their own space. Or maybe a single, larger vanity with more counter space is the answer.
Don’t forget about storage! A vanity with drawers and cabinets can hide all your toiletries, cleaning supplies, and towels to keep the room looking neat. If your bathroom is small, a classic pedestal sink can save space, but you’ll need to plan for storage elsewhere, like in a tall linen cabinet.
3. Should You Upgrade Your Lighting?
Good lighting is everything. Harsh, overhead light can be unflattering. Many customers choose to add softer, layered lighting. Think about sconces on either side of the mirror for even light when getting ready, a statement fixture overhead, and maybe even a small, waterproof light in the shower. The right lighting can make your bathroom feel bigger, brighter, and more relaxing.
4. Do You Want More Privacy for the Toilet?
If you have the space, creating a separate little area for the toilet (called a water closet) is a popular luxury. It adds privacy, especially in a bathroom shared by multiple people. It’s a feature worth considering if you’re doing a larger remodel.
Don’t Forget the Finishing Touches!
The little things make a big difference in how your bathroom functions every day. As you plan, also think about:
- The perfect height for your vanity so it’s comfortable to use.
- Safety features, like sturdy grab bars in the shower that can be installed in a stylish way.
- A shower seat for comfort and convenience.
- Where towel bars, hooks, and toilet paper holders should go so they’re right where you need them.
