There are so many considerations when approaching a bathroom remodel. Homeowners often face a critical decision: attempting a DIY approach vs hiring a contractor for the job. A DIY approach can be pain staking if you don't have the time or necessary skills to complete the project and could potentially lead to very costly mishaps. Hiring a skilled contractor to execute the work is highly recomended. Then comes the question of design and most importantly, who do we trust to bring our vision to life? That's where we come in. At Driftwood Homes, we believe that when it comes to bathroom remodel design, trusting the right professionals can make all the difference in your project results. Do you feel overwhelmed with the options in front of you? Do you have an expansive Pinterest board? Does your design style differ from your partner? Let's dive into why your design vision may be better served through a collaborative approach with a dedicated interior design studio and leave the construction to the contractors.

Trusting Your Contractor for Design Input
While we have wonderful relationships with our contractors it's fair to say we all have our areas of expertise. Many contractors offer design services as part of their package and to rely solely on them for your bathroom remodel may get dicey. Many contractors may lack the specialized knowledge in interior design necessary to create a space that truly reflects your style. They often focus primarily on functionality and structural integrity, sometimes overlooking the finer aesthetic details that make a bathroom feel like home.
Furthermore, contractors may suggest design choices that benefit them or are easier to
execute rather than what aligns with your vision. It’s not uncommon for the design element to be an afterthought in their project management, leading to a final product that feels disjointed and uninspired.

The Value of Dedicated Design Expertise
