Bathroom remodeling is as popular of a home improvement project as upgrading your kitchen. Whether you are adding a low-flow toilet, a steam shower, a towel warmer, new flooring, a new vanity, or all of these items, it’s important to properly plan, consult a professional, set your goals, develop your budget, and stick to the plan. As part of your homeredecorating efforts, be sure to consider the importance of accessorizing your bathroom properly.
Some additional considerations include:
Bathtubs: Believe it or not, there an hundreds of different styles and designs for bathtubs. Some models are single occupancy, and some are for dual occupancy. Two-person bathtubs use an excessive amount of water and are most often only used by one person. This can be wasteful. Choose the design and style that you most enjoy. Consider jets carefully.
Most users simply do not use the jets, and they can be costly. This is a great place to save some money. Air jetted tubs are less noisy and allow you to use bubble baths, bath oils, and bath salts. These indulgences are not recommended for most water-jetted tubs because they can clog the system.
Showers: Again, many designs and styles are available. Single head, dual head, enclosures, tiled, or showers that deliver water-massage, as well as showers that are similar to the experience of a steam room at a health club or spa. Did you know that on average, men spend three to five minutes per shower, while women take five to seven minutes?
Get the most out of this relaxing time by building your shower to your custom needs. Consider design, color, style, shower head height, and extras. To complete your home spa experience, add steam to your shower to promote relaxed breathing and a feeling of physical and emotional well-being.
Vanities and Sinks: Bathroom vanities, like kitchen cabinets, come in a variety of shapes, colors, and styles. A stone vanity will provide lasting endurance and extended durability. Many new styles are now available with granite tops and furniture-style bases. Sinks can be made of granite, other stone, stainless steel, glass, copper, or other materials. Don’t forget a quality faucet.
The faucet regulates water flow into your sink, but also adds a tremendous amount of style and design to your bathroom. Look for a style that complements the other elements of your bathroom, and don’t forget to consider complementary accessories that match your faucet,t such as towel bars, toilet paper holders, and other accessories.
As you carefully consider your bathroom remodeling project, be sure to coordinate the designs, styles, and accessories in your bathroom to ensure you give it that finished look.
