October may be the ideal month to start planning a bathroom renovation project, as it is National Kitchen & Bath Month.

The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) designated October as Kitchen & Bath Month in 1982. According to NKBA.org, "with children back in school and families not yet overwhelmed by the flurry of activity around the holidays, October is the most popular time of year for homeowners to remodel their kitchens and baths."

Those who want a complete bathroom renovation that includes a new bathroom vanity, flooring, faucets, bathtub, shower and accessories, or those who just want to update certain elements of their space may use the distinction as a perfect excuse to begin planning their project.

Whether you plan to design your new bathroom on your own or enlist the help of a professional, experts say there are several steps involved in planning your project. They include defining the scope of the project, finalizing a budget, shopping for and choosing products and coordinating the installation.
