Thoughts on Bathroom Makeovers and Renovations

One of the most common renovation projects we do is for clients wanting to remodel or renovate one or more bathrooms. Bathroom remodeling is surprisingly more enjoyable and rewarding than other makeovers in the house for several reasons. First, it is considerably less intrusive, easier, and faster than other rooms because bathrooms aren’t that big or complicated compared to your other rooms such as the kitchen. Second, it is a room with several specific and obvious purposes, so you can design it in a way that makes your life easier. Third, when on a tight budget, small improvements and changes make a huge difference in both the décor and the functionality.  Here are some considerations for bathroom makeovers and bathroom ideas:
Going Green
You can make your bathroom greener with just a few remodeling or design changes. From new water-saving toilets and shower heads, to energy efficient LED bulbs, to a repurposed and recycled driftwood mirror on the wall, you can make the bathroom look elegant while making it environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
The Walls
There are a lot of ways to change the bathroom walls to make them look and feel more personal and esthetically pleasing. By adding statement tiles, your bathroom can show off your individuality. Or you can use stencils to add your favorite quotes to give you and your guests something to ponder.
The Shower and Tub
If you have enough space, you can create two different bathing areas, one for efficient showers, the other for relaxing baths. If you don’t have the room, you can always choose to change your bathroom to have a great bathing experience. An enclosed shower with tile and a large, water-saving, shower-head will make the early morning or late night cleaning experience a more peaceful and relaxing. Adding a shower seat to relax legs and a weary body after a long day can also improve safety in the shower.
If you want a really relaxing bath, the sculptural tub is a great way addition to the bathroom. It looks sleek and lets you really soak after a long day. The look is reminiscent of tubs from a century or two back, but it has all of the modern day plumbing.
