Most homeowners give the bulk of their attention to renovating their primary bathroom, overlooking their secondary bathrooms. Whether those spaces are for guests or kids, remodeling them can make your home more inviting, functional, and stylish—plus, it can boost your home’s value.
While a secondary bathroom project may seem like a smaller undertaking, there’s still a lot to think about. That’s why Shack Built’s experts have laid out some of the key elements, so you can make sure your bathroom renovation in Leawood improves everyday convenience and impresses guests.
Vanity Considerations
If you’re updating a kids’ bathroom or a heavily used hall bath, remember to think about built-in storage to keep things organized and tucked away. A hidden pull-out step stool in the vanity toe kick can help little ones reach the faucet, and pull-down spouts can help clean up all the toothpaste and sticky residues from the sink. For an upscale powder room for your guests, consider sophisticated wall coverings, mood-setting light fixtures, and an LED-illuminated mirror for touch-ups or impromptu selfies.
Either way, don’t forget to place outlets thoughtfully. For example, you can put outlets inside drawers for hair styling tools or integrate pop-up outlets directly into the vanity counter. You should also consider whether a traditional vanity with a toe kick, a furniture-style vanity with legs, or a wall-mounted “floating” vanity that’s open underneath suits your style best…
Shower & Tub Considerations
For kids, think about bath toy storage and an adjustable rail and handheld sprayers for easy rinse-offs. If a large soaking tub is on your wishlist, we’ll help you incorporate additional features to safely get in and out of the tub—yes, sleek stylish grab bars do exist.
For in-shower storage, consider a recessed nook or an extra long ledge instead of a corner shelf, which doesn’t offer much space for shampoos and other products. We can help you find solutions that leave hanging caddies and protruding soap dishes in the past. We won’t overlook the little things in your bathroom remodel in Leawood either. We’ll help you select a drain shape and hardware finishes, and decide whether you want an open “wet room,” a glass enclosure, or a more private enclosure with a built-in bench.
