Step 1: Start with the bathroom’s purpose (and your morning routine)
Bathrooms can be built for different priorities:
- Fast morning flow: dual sinks, better lighting, storage that reduces clutter
- Spa relaxation: deeper tub, wet room feel, soft lighting and textures
- Family durability: easy-clean surfaces, closed storage, strong ventilation
- Aging-in-place: curbless shower, blocking for grab bars, comfort-height fixtures
Write your top three priorities. They will guide every decision that follows.
