A bathroom remodel is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your home. Beyond improving aesthetics, a well-designed bathroom enhances functionality, comfort, and even home value. At Mihalko’s General Contracting, we believe that every bathroom should be a retreat tailored to your unique style and needs. If you’re ready to breathe new life into your bathroom, here’s everything you need to know about planning, designing, and executing a successful remodel.
1. Setting Your Bathroom Remodel Goals
Before diving into designs, take some time to consider what you want from your bathroom remodel. Ask yourself:
- What’s lacking in my current bathroom? Consider storage needs, lighting, layout, and fixture placement.
- How long do I plan to stay in my home? A remodel for resale will be different than one designed for your long-term enjoyment.
- What’s my budget? This will help set realistic expectations and guide design choices.
Whether it’s a spa-inspired master bath or a functional family bathroom, Mihalko’s team can help transform your vision into reality.
2. Key Bathroom Design Trends for 2024
Here’s a look at some of the top bathroom design trends that can inspire your remodel:
- Natural Elements: Wood, stone, and greenery bring a calming, organic feel to the bathroom.
- Statement Lighting: Bold lighting adds both style and functionality, perfect for a well-lit vanity or accent wall.
- Walk-In Showers: Spacious, curbless showers with custom tile work and frameless glass are both modern and accessible.
- Minimalistic Design: Clean lines, hidden storage, and neutral tones create a tranquil atmosphere.
- Smart Features: Touchless faucets, heated floors, and programmable shower settings make everyday routines more convenient.

4. Common Bathroom Remodel Considerations
- Ventilation: Proper ventilation reduces humidity, prevents mold growth, and protects your investment.
- Lighting Layers: Combine task lighting (over the vanity) with ambient and accent lighting to create a balanced space.
- Storage: Built-in storage solutions like recessed cabinets or custom vanities maximize space without cluttering the room.
- Flooring: Durable and water-resistant options like porcelain tiles are ideal for bathrooms and can be paired with heated floors for added comfort.
