Changes You Should Consider for Your Bathroom
Changing your bathroom is pricey, bothersome, but at the same time quite a pleasant change, considering how you will have a brand new view for quite some time. Plus, there are definitely some things that started to bother you over the course of time — now you can improve them, or eliminate them. It is also good if you are planning on flipping a house, a well-designed bathroom can carry some aesthetic value which will ultimately boost the price.
It is worth mentioning that you should always account for some extra expenses since, you never know what will be in shortage, so for a big renovation like this one, be extra careful with the calculations. Additionally, find a place to stay since it is very possible that your house will be uninhabitable for a certain period. With that being said, here are the changes for you to consider when remodeling your bathroom.
Make it more specious
One thing you can do if you have a small bathroom is add more space to it. Now, do not be alarmed, this does not involve any wall breaking, it is a simple change in arrangement. First of all, you can change the location of your sink, and place it in one corner of the bathroom, which leaves a corner across for your toilet. You can also save both money and space if you buy a mirror cabinet since it eliminates the need for a mirror, or for a cabinet. The remaining two corners can be utilized for a small bath tub, or a shower cabin, and for a washing machine.
Change tiles
This is the most tiresome process, and is in fact the reason why you will have a hard time staying home while the renovations last. In the event you want to save some money, time and yourself from an unnecessary mess, you can always replace a particular space of tiles with stone mosaic tiles. However, if the existing set of tiles is incompatible with what you can find, then do not even try this. Go through the whole ordeal and just get it over with. When selecting color, go with teal, aquamarine, white, brighter shades of grey, or simply listen to your own inner creative voice. After all, this is a matter of personal taste, rather than a suggestion.
Bathtub or Shower cabin
As mentioned, if you need more space, it is far better to opt for a shower cabin than for a small tub. If you can’t stretch in your bathtub, what good will a small one do? On the other hand, if you have toddlers who still can’t take a shower or a bath without supervision, it could be better to choose a tub, even if it is small. For the purposes of being more thorough when you bath your kids, you should opt for installing hand held shower heads, since they have greater flexibility. Remember that you will also need a brand new shower curtain, which is again an opportunity for you to be creative and find one that will fit with the rest of your bathroom design.
When it comes to shower cabins, there are those that can provide with a really relaxing shower. Nowadays it is popular to buy cabins with music players installed, thus you can listen to your favorite tunes instead of singing without adequate background music. You can also by those which allow you to adjust the temperature using a touch screen.
Install ventilation
Do not forget to throw in a ceiling fan or more wall fans when making adjustments, these are more for health purposes than for decoration. If you don’t have tools for regulating humidity levels in your bathroom, you are very likely to face mold problems. So, if you take a lot of steamy showers and baths, fans are a must.
Paint your radiators
Lastly, do not allow the color of your radiators to either dictate, or ruin the whole harmony of your new bathroom design. Feel free to find someone who can paint them so that their color corresponds to the one of your tiles. You can always repaint them during your next bathroom remodeling.
