Start with your daily routine
List the frustrations you want to solve: awkward storage, limited counter space, difficult cleaning, or an inconvenient shower. Rank those needs before choosing colors.
Make the hidden work visible
Ask your contractor to explain waterproofing, ventilation, plumbing, electrical work, and preparation beneath the tile. A beautiful finish does not tell you how the underlying work will be completed.
Plan for construction
Decide which bathroom your household will use while work is underway. Confirm the sequence, delivery dates, and responsibility for ordering fixtures before demolition starts.
