Unless your bathroom is humongous, your bedroom is going to be storing all of the materials throughout the project and just by virtue of constant traffic in and out will be covered in dust. We live in a similarly small house and slept in our basement for a month when we did ours.

PP here. You should empty your closet too. When construction is complete you are going to want the room as empty as possible for cleanup. Buy Nothing is a good place to get hanger boxes. You said you WFH; try to get a look at the bathroom twice each day, once at lunch and once at the end of the day. Things move quick with a small bathroom remodel, so you will need to stay close to catch mistakes fast enough to get them corrected. If you're going to do this, keep a designated pair of slip-on shoes outside the door that don't go anywhere else in the house to keep dust off your feet and other floors.


Great advice! We had to rip out the shower tile as you could see the sheet lines in them.

We just finished one. There is no way you can sleep in your bedroom. Prepare to move out. We moved to a guest room and had to move all of our clothes that we'd be wearing, out. There is so much dust and they will cover everything with plastic.

Don’t worry, halfway through they will abandon you for six weeks and during that time you’ll be able to access your bedroom.
