Smart Advice for Bathroom Renovations
Updating or remodeling your bathroom is a sure-fire way to add
value to your home and enhance your everyday lifestyle.
When considering
bathroom renovation, whether you choose to do an extensive remodel or a smaller
project, most kitchen and bath designers agree on these tips:
Take size into account. A sleek, stylish glass shower
enclosure helps your bathroom appear more spacious, and in most instances, a
frameless shower enclosure will provide the cleanest, most open look. If you
decide to go with a framed shower enclosure, you'll have two choices: frameless
sliding doors or framed doors. For framed doors, be sure the finish of the metal
framing and handles matches your bathroom fixtures.
Be
innovative. Taking a creative approach to bathroom necessities can help
you make the most of your space. For instance, the majority of shower enclosures
are square or rectangular, but today's designers encourage you to think about
other shapes. Don't be afraid to consider a circular or oval-shaped enclosure, a
triangle or even a standard shape with an artfully bowed glass door, which can
redefine the space and make your bathroom more versatile.
Brighten things up. Repainting your bathroom with light
colors can make it feel more spacious. If your bathroom has windows or
skylights, use window treatments and accents that maximize the amount of light
that comes through to give the room a more airy feel.
Find the
best use for your space. Move bathroom cleaning items to a hall closet
if you are stretched for storage space in your bathroom, especially if you have
freestanding storage units that are taking up valuable floor space. If you need
more storage space, consider adding built-in compartments if possible between
your wall studs to maximize useable space.
