Bathroom remodeling can
be started with installing little luxuries in the
bathroom to pamper yourself such as whirlpool tubs,
dual showerheads, shower systems and even just adding
body sprays to the shower area. Turning bathrooms into
personal retreat to help you relax and spend sometime
with yourself is latest craze. People install stereos
and TV centers in their master baths too to enjoy
their bath time to the fullest. Major bathroom
remodeling projects include reconstructing a bathroom
on a larger scale. People may free up some existing
space or make additions to the bathroom by taking up
some space in the room or balcony.
Bathroom remodeling may require
cabinetry for a storage and organizing solution and space saver.
If you are on a budget, choose small bathroom remodeling options
and turn your old bathroom into a new one by changing bathroom
accessories and mirror and perhaps the color of bathroom walls,
shower curtains and window treatments. You may want to change your
bath tub and wall systems that can be installed on top of your
present installation to give them a new look. You may also go for
major bathroom remodelling work and a complete bathroom makeover
by upgrading the appliances, breaking and reconstructing bathroom
walls to add more space, completely redoing the plumbing and
optimizing your bathroom space. In this article, we will discuss
some of the bathroom remodeling options that you may want to
consider.
Display framed painting and
collectibles on a shelf added to a wall. Put your soaps, bath
salts and pretty toiletries in antique bowls or shaving mugs and
add colored beads and cheap faux pearl necklace to it for a
romantic effect. You may also want to add aroma candles to your
vanity countertop or near your bathtub. In a master bath or a
large bathroom, you may have the luxury of space to add outdoor
furniture such as a wicker table or chair. Accent lighting can be
done around a beautiful painting or on top edge of the wall tile
using low-voltage strip of lights. Decorative wood beams on the
ceiling and mirrored cabinets on the wall can open up your
bathroom. You may want to just color wash and repaint your wood
cabinets.
Colored staining can also give a new look to your bathroom vanity
or wood cabinets such as a light-colored stain for the background
and brighter and bolder stains for the drawers. Bathroom
remodeling does not only mean breaking and reconstruction. Adding
little things and rearranging things may also give a new look and
feel to your bathroom. You can put some potted flowering plants or
fresh flowers neatly in a unusual vases such as wall vases, window
boxes or even old watering cans on your vanity countertop to give
a new look to your bath. You can replace the door of your bathroom
cabinet with a Victorian screen door or a framed trellis. A
beveled mirror over the sink framed with tiles and tiled mosaics
add a creative touch to your bathroom decor.
While doing bathroom remodeling, it is best to make rough draft on
paper using a realistic scale. There should be one draft for your
old bathroom with labeled fixtures and measurements and one draft
for the new bathroom you have visualized. Try to include all the
desired features at first and check for the dimensions and styles
that you can incorporate in your bath to get the desired feel and
know what is feasible. Eliminate what seems like just a floating
whim if there is limited space. Brainstorm to finalize a bathroom
layout and make sure that you have accurate measurements and you
have made provisions for the adequate space between the fixtures.
Height of the fixtures is as important as its length, width and
depth. Use non-slip surfaces and anchor down rugs for the bathroom
safety purposes. This bathroom drafting will guide you in making
your choices and help you to decide what to buy and what not to
buy while doing bathroom remodeling.
