A bathroom remodel is one of the best investments you can make in your home — both in terms of daily comfort and long-term property value. But to get it right, you need more than just pretty tile and new fixtures. At Royal AM Remodeling, we specialize in high-end bathroom renovations across Dallas-Fort Worth, and we know what separates a functional and beautiful bathroom from one that just looks nice.

Before you begin tearing out tiles, here’s what you need to seriously consider.

1. Bathroom Layout: Function Comes First

Your bathroom layout should match the way you live. Do you need a double vanity for busy mornings? Is a walk-in shower more practical than a bathtub?

At Royal AM Remodeling, we start with space planning to ensure your layout enhances flow, comfort, and accessibility.

Pro Tip: In small bathrooms, consider wall-mounted vanities, pocket doors, or corner showers to maximize space.

2. Plumbing and Electrical Upgrades

Behind the walls is where many remodeling challenges hide. If you’re remodeling an older home in the Dallas area, your bathroom may need updated plumbing or rewired outlets to meet modern codes and performance standards.

Common upgrades include:

  • GFCI outlets for safety

  • Proper drainage and ventilation

  • Relocating pipes for new layouts

3. Material Selection: Style Meets Durability

Your material choices need to hold up against moisture, heat, and daily use. We help our clients choose finishes that are as durable as they are beautiful.

Top choices include:

  • Porcelain tile for floors and showers

  • Quartz countertops for vanities

  • Water-resistant paint for walls

  • Custom cabinetry for tailored storage


4. Lighting Makes the Difference

Most bathrooms lack natural light, so a layered lighting plan is essential. We recommend combining:

  • Overhead ambient lighting

  • Task lighting over mirrors

  • Accent lighting for spa-like ambiance

Smart upgrades: dimmers, backlit mirrors, and waterproof recessed lighting.


5. Ventilation and Waterproofing Are Non-Negotiable

A beautiful bathroom can be destroyed by poor waterproofing. That’s why we focus on proper sealing, waterproof membranes, and ventilation systems to prevent mold and moisture damage.

Essential features:

  • High-quality exhaust fans

  • Waterproof shower systems

  • Anti-slip flooring and sealed grout

6. Storage Solutions: Style and Function Combined

Clutter kills design. We help clients plan for custom vanities, recessed niches, medicine cabinets, and linen storage — all seamlessly built into the remodel.


7. Set a Realistic Budget and Timeline

At Royal AM Remodeling, we provide clear timelines and honest cost breakdowns so there are no surprises. The budget should include:

  • Labor and materials

  • Permits and inspections

  • Contingency for the unexpected
