With a good concept for the bathroom layout in hand, you can focus on choices for tile, cabinetry, countertops, fixture finishes, paint colors, etc. We recommend starting with materials that offer fewer choices (like cabinetry) and gradually adding complementary materials with more choices. Paint colors usually represent the final selection. You should enlist the help of professionals who can not only identify options that fit your desired style and budget but also help you visualize the end result with computer renderings. Given the usual importance of tile in a bathroom remodel, you should request tile drawings prior to construction so you know how the tile pattern will look once installed. If your contractor cannot or will not provide such drawings, then you should be concerned.
