Bathroom Remodeling - It's Not Just a Toilet Anymore!
Today bathroom remodeling is only limited by your imagination and your budget. The amenities exist that will literally turn your bathroom into a luxurious oasis. The challenge it to accomplish this objective with as little inconvenience as possible and make it as affordable as we possibly can. Also, remodeling the bathroom is a wonderful way to upgrade the quality of your life. We all spend a great deal of time in the bathroom. Upgrading this vital living space will provide a great deal of satisfaction.
If you are looking to create a space that communicates personal indulgence the bathroom is a wonderful place to begin. I recommend that you start scouring all of the design and decorator magazines and clip all of the amenities that you would like to incorporate into your new bathroom. Remember that fashions for bathroom do change every few years. If you want to keep up with the current trend make sure you do some research. If you are looking for bargains because fashion is not as important to you'll be able to find values galore.
If price is not a concern to you, my recommendation would be for you to hire a designer or decorator to incorporate all of your clippings into a finished design. Decorators have a keen eye for color, fabric and craftsmanship and they will create a vision and blueprint for you that will bring all of your desires together.
Remodeling Bathrooms usually involve decisions on flooring, fixtures and cabinetry. Providing you are not planning on creating changes that affect the piping and sewage these changes are pretty straightforward to estimate.
If you are planning to hire a professional contractor to remodel your bathroom do not be surprised if you do not receive a lot of callbacks. Although remodeling a bathroom can be a big lucrative job, the smaller jobs are often a nuisance to many contractors.
The key to remodeling a bathroom is to think creatively about space. As you think creatively about how you use space, design and color, a small bathroom can become a luxurious oasis.
Here are some key considerations:
Change your thinking and begin to think small. In a bathroom space is always at a premium. You need to think of designs and patterns that literally create space.
§ Evaluate smaller tubs that are deeper.
§ Select a taller more compact toilet
§ Eliminating cabinets and vanities will increase the perceived square footage available.
§ Often the smaller the sink the more elegant it will appear.
§ Towel rings are much more luxurious than rods and still very affordable.
An experienced decorator will often use color, design and light to make the room look bigger.
§ Lighter and brighter colors make the space seem larger than it really is.
§ Avoid Horizontal wallpapers and designs. Ideally vertical stripes have a tendency to draw the eye upward and create a feeling of spaciousness.
§ Adding a classy border at the top of the walls not only creates a feel of luxury but also creates space.
§ Using unframed mirrors to reflect light is another nice touch.
§ Avoid dark colors for fabrics and curtains.
§ Consider repositioning light fixtures where they reflect the most light from mirrors.
To really add the touch of class and luxury;
§ Select a spa or whirlpool bath.
§ Have multiple head pulsating shower heads inserted in the showers.
§ Select mirrors that will not fog in the shower.
§ Include a sound board in the bathroom that will help sound proof the room. Very exclusive hotels often do this very successfully.
These suggestions should assist you in making design decisions and purchasing choices that are both affordable and luxurious.
