bathroom remodels
Your bathroom is an extension of your personality and constantly in use. The bathroom is used for dressing, bathing, putting on makeup, shaving and much more. This means that your faucets, fixtures, cabinets and drawers will wear out quickly. Perhaps your tastes are different from those of a previous owner, or you just feel it is time for a change. One of the simplest ways to upgrade your home and your daily life is remodeling your bathroom.
A Few Tips and Ideas to Consider
As you dig deeper into your remodeling project, you will discover several little details that will ensure your success. One example is using white tile and fixtures in a small bathroom to make the space appear larger. If you find white to be too asylum-like, bright colors such as yellow and light green will have the same effect. Likewise, you can open the space up considerably by choosing pedestal sinks and shelves over vanity sinks and cabinets. Your bathroom remodeling project should encompass your own specific tastes and way of life. Remodeling your bathroom can be done as inexpensive or as costly as you like to achieve the look and feel that you want. Keep in mind that any remodeling project is an investment that will be long lasting and add value to your home if done properly.
The Cost to Remodel
If you are working with a tight budget for your bathroom remodel, it is possible to save on the cost to get the job done. One of the best ways to keep more money in your pockets is by doing all of the work on your own. You should be able to find all of the materials that you need at your local home improvement store and enlist the help of family and friends to make the job progress quickly. On the other hand, it may be necessary to hire a professional if your bathroom remodeling project is especially large or requires plumbing and electrical work. Even if you hire a professional, you can still save money by purchasing less expensive fixtures and accessories. For example, if you want marble tiles, but they do not fit in your budget, you can use travertine tiles. Travertine tiles look very similar to marble, but are considerably less expensive.
Where to Start
Once you decide it is time to remodel your bathroom, you may find it difficult to know just where to begin. The first thing that you must consider is the style and design of your new bathroom. Take the time to browse online, flip through magazines, visit showrooms and talk to friends who have recently remodeled to get a number of ideas. Take a moment to look at your bathroom with a critical eye. Consider any plumbing issues that may exist. Look at all of the light fixtures and determine if you need to address any electrical problems. Check the current items for mold or mildew damage, water damage and stains. Also, think about the appliances and accessories in the bathroom that you want to add or replace. Now, think about the layout of your bathroom and the changes that will make your bathroom more functional, comfortable and accessible. For example, you may consider changing the location of the toilet or tub to better suit your daily life. Make a list of the features in the bathroom that you want to change, such as sinks, toilet, tub, shower, faucets, cabinets, countertops and floor. By making this list, you will be able to begin gathering information on styles and costs. Not only will you be able to determine the exact changes that you want to make, you will also be able to determine how it will fit into your remodeling budget.
