Remodeling isn’t just about replacing old with new. It’s about optimizing and improving. It’s especially important to keep this in mind during kitchen and bath remodels. They contain some of our home’s most important utilities and always require storage.

Updating them is more complex than other rooms, and the design has to support our routines and needs. Last but definitely not least, we need them to showcase our style. 

That’s just the start of understanding why you should work with a designer on your bathroom remodel. Here’s a closer look at some of the benefits. 

A designer makes remodels go much more efficiently. 

Think of a professional designer as a key contact for all things bathroom remodeling. From planning and permitting to ordering and fabricating, there can be many small phases and details involved. Bathroom remodeling can take weeks or months. It can leave you on the edge of your seat as to what’s happening and when it’ll be over.

The experience is quite different with a pro leading the charge. Designers help coordinate various project stages and are strong communicators. They help set realistic expectations and advocate for the best results. 

You’ll expand your own design knowledge.

Do you know what a traditional lavatory faucet looks like? What bathroom layout makes the most sense for multiple users? Working with a designer teaches you all sorts of new information. The ins and outs of various fixtures, design considerations, and installation requirements are absolutely good to know in the future. 

As you continue remodeling your home, you’ll become a strong collaborator ready to help execute new designs with ease.

They love finding creative solutions to common challenges. 

The number one thing homeowners regret about their bathroom remodels? Not securing enough storage. A designer doesn’t just keep storage in mind. They have connections with craftspeople who can customize vanities, cabinets, or freestanding structures for optimal organization. 

Tilt-outs that avoid plumbing and tiered drawers that double usable space. Clever locations for a classic medicine cabinet, and much more. After the remodel, you’ll never worry about bathroom clutter again.

Designers can help bring you (and your wallet) back down to earth. 

Designers dream big, but always have the practical parts of a remodel firmly in their minds. The quality and condition of your plumbing, what’s possible permit-wise, and more importantly, what makes sense for your lifestyle.

For instance, your inspiration may include tons of gorgeous bathtubs. But if you rarely use one, it’ll needlessly eat into your space and budget. With a pro, you get the best of everything you need. Nothing more, nothing less.

They can share some of the latest design trends.

What you value matters most. Personal touches and heaps of character are happily in style for 2026 and beyond. However, if you want an expert glimpse into what other people are including in their remodels, look no further than a design pro. 

For example, bathroom flooring trends show heightened interest in classic checkerboard as well as large-format stone tile.

We recently had the main bathroom remodeled by The Designery Greensboro, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. Their team helped us reimagine the space with a beautiful, spa-like design that’s both functional and stunning. 

They were professional, responsive, and truly listened to our needs. From the walk-in shower to the double vanity and updated lighting, every detail was thoughtfully executed. We couldn’t be happier with the results!
