05 Apr Bathroom Design – How To Get The Most Out Of Your Chosen Ideas
Bathroom design and remodeling represent a significant investment — the return on these projects is immense in terms of both resale value and daily benefit. The expense of new showers, tiles, and cabinets means that you need to plan and execute carefully. On the other hand, the simplest bathroom features are often the best. What’s important is that your bathroom design functions as well as it looks and that the quality of craftsmanship achieves your design goals.
Bathroom Design Tips
Pay for tiles and cabinets
It’s often said that a lackluster installation can waste the money you have invested in expensive tile. The same goes for cabinets and any other fixtures that require skilled labor.
Budget for an appropriate level of craftsmanship, not just materials — so your beautiful bathroom design does not turn out haphazard or lacking function. You don’t want drawers askew or tiles that cut off awkwardly at the perimeter.
Consider water and ventilation
New bathroom design often calls for multiple shower heads or spa tubs. You’ll want to feel free to indulge in these features. Make sure that your water system’s pressure and heating capacity can accommodate the new shower or tub.
A bathroom remodel is also a time to consider bathroom fans, windows, and other ventilation options. A spa atmosphere needs fresh air.
Intriguing neutrals make the best color choices
You want something besides white and black, but you don’t necessarily want to recreate a 1950s pink bathroom design. Look at finishes in shale, slate, espresso, navy blue, and other tones that function as neutrals.
Update all bathrooms with similar finishes
Don’t neglect guest bathrooms and children’s rooms. Your money can go further and make a greater impact on your home’s resale value if you update the bathroom design throughout the house. You’ll get more out of the project by buying more materials and having more work done at once.
Plan to buy materials in bulk for every bathroom, and then tweak the design to create a unique look in each space. For instance, the floor tile may be white with black accents in the master bath and black with white accents in the guest bath.
Leave space for furniture, storage, and decor
You can love your bathroom even more when you have the ability to customize and change things over time. In large bathrooms, you can use chairs, hampers, mirror cabinets, and consoles as comforting and beautiful features that can be swapped out more easily than permanent fixtures should you ever want to update again.
How to navigate the trends
Trends with classic design and functional value will never go out of style. Shower niches, towel racks for small spaces, and built-in storage are popular right now for good reason.
Embrace the bold bathroom design trends you love — unique metal finishes, wood floors, and colorful backsplashes are wonderful — but use these features judiciously for maximum visual impact without sacrificing longevity.
Choose the right contractor for the job
Bathroom projects require the skill of a home builder. The work ranges from carpentry to plumbing, and the results should appropriately complement the rest of the house. View our portfolio and make contact so we can help you with your remodeling project.
