Tiles chipped and thick with grout? Sounds like it might be time for a bath remodeling. Wilmette is just one of many villages in the greater Chicago area where we’ve been helping clients accomplish major bathroom remodeling projects. If you’ve been considering a bath remodeling in Wilmette or other areas in the surrounding suburbs of Chicago, take a moment to consider the world of difference between **kids** and **master bath** remodels… **Kids Bath** - [This type of remodeling project](http://www.houzz.com/kids-bathroom) can be ***far* less expensive**. And, it should be! After all, once the kids grow up, certain minor adjustments will need to be made throughout the years. - The focus in this type of bath remodel project should be **easy maintenance** and **durability**. - **Shower curtains** are much more convenient for bathing kids than glass enclosures, which are better suited for adult bathrooms. - If you have young children, **bright colors** can be an easy way to make bath time a fun, positive experience. - We always recommend a **tub **over a shower for children’s bathrooms for obvious reasons. However, your remodel can make it easy to convert this design in future years. **Master Bath** - Rich, dark colors and textures like **stained wood**, **granite**, and **marble** surfaces are some of our favorite approaches for master bath remodeling projects. - Even though *you* are going to take better care of the master bath than your kids will *their* bathroom, we still advocate **easy maintenance**. [Ask us](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/contact-us) how we can design a bathroom that’s easier to clean than you ever imagined! - Since most adults will take regular showers – not baths – we recommend a **shower only** bathroom design (as opposed to a shower/tub mix). However, adding a separate **whirlpool** can give your master bath a luxurious spa-like feel. As you brainstorm for your bath remodeling, think more conservative for the kids, but invest in a more luxurious bathroom for yourself. Doing so won’t just make you more comfortable in your own home. You’ll also increase the value of your home! ### Subscribe Here! ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Tag - [Kitchen Remodeling (284)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/kitchen-remodeling) - [Bathroom Remodeling (197)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/bathroom-remodeling) - [Home Remodeling (24)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/home-remodeling) - [Quality Custom Cabinets (24)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/quality-custom-cabinets) - [Kitchen Design (23)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/kitchen-design) - [laundry room remodel (9)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/laundry-room-remodel) - [choosing appliances (6)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/choosing-appliances) - [Kitchen Countertops (5)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/kitchen-countertops) - [Basement Remodeling (4)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/basement-remodeling) - [Kosher Kitchen Design (4)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/kosher-kitchen-design) - [Powder room design ideas (3)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/powder-room-design-ideas) - [Home Office (2)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/home-office) - [Steam Shower (2)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/steam-shower) - [Tubs (2)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/tubs) - [Granite countertop prices (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/granite-countertop-prices) - [Heated Flooring (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/heated-flooring) - [Tile Showrooms (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/tile-showrooms) - [Walk-In Closet (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/walk-in-closet) - [Wine Storage (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/wine-storage) - [choosing the right kitchen faucet and sink (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/choosing-the-right-kitchen-faucet-and-sink) - [formaldehyde in cabinets (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/formaldehyde-in-cabinets) - [juice bar (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/juice-bar) - [kids rooms design ideas (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/kids-rooms-design-ideas) - [metal accents (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/metal-accents) - [morning bar (1)](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/morning-bar) [See all](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/bid/278082/Bath-Remodeling-101-Kids-Bathroom-vs-Master-Bath#) - [** ](https://www.facebook.com/kitchensandbathsunlimited/) - [** ](https://twitter.com/kitchensnbaths) - [** ](http://www.houzz.com/pro/kitchens4/kitchens-baths-unlimited) ![phone-icon](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hubfs/KBU_May2019/icons/phone-icon.png "phone-icon") #### [847-729-1212](tel:8477291212) ![location-icon](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hubfs/KBU_May2019/icons/location-icon.png "location-icon") #### [1232 Waukegan Road Glenview, IL 60025](https://goo.gl/maps/AiZv8cwiKDNMbujH6) [![email-icon](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hubfs/KBU_May2019/icons/email-icon.png "email-icon")](mailto:info@KitchensBathsUnlimited.com) #### [info@KitchensBathsUnlimited.com](mailto:info@KitchensBathsUnlimited.com)   2026 All rights reserved by Kitchens & Baths Unlimited, Inc.
