Evaluating Wants and Needs in an Updated Bathroom

Homeowners must define their wants and needs and make decisions about their new bathrooms before undertaking remodeling projects. Not every bathroom can accommodate all the elements of a luxury spa. Homeowners must evaluate their designated bathroom area and their personal resources to determine which elements will fit their spaces and budgets.

Homeowners can pick and choose features to incorporate in their remodeled bathroom, including roomy showers with sauna options, elaborate dressing areas, double sinks and spacious storage areas. New appliances, flooring, wall treatments and decor can all be part of the remodeling process.

Convenience, Safety and Luxury with a Walk-In Shower

A standard bathtub takes up a lot of floor space in the bathroom.  They can be difficult to get out of and they tend to trap mold and mildew at the edges.  Switching from a bathtub/shower combination to a walk in shower can provide additional space in your bathroom and create a sense of luxury.  You have a wide selection of styles and materials from which to choose.  A walk in shower can be a practical and beautiful addition to your bathroom.

Slip Resistance Is the Important Thing to Know When Selecting Tile

It is true most natural stones are appropriate for wet area installations, but if your travertine has a polished finish, you might want to think twice before putting it on your shower floor.  The important piece of information to know when using tile in flooring applications where water will be present, is its slip resistance.  A polished tile normally has less slip resistance than a tile with a honed or matte finish.  This is true for glass, ceramic and porcelain tiles as well as natural stone.

Safety Should Be a Priority in Your Selection of Tile

Before selecting the perfect tile for your shower floor , be sure to ask if it is appropriate for a wet application and if there are any slip resistant test results.  Safety is every bit as important as beauty when it comes to floor tiles in wet areas.  Make sure you cover both bases in your selection of a new shower floor tile.

Start With a Good Plan

Putting your new bathroom design ideas down on paper is a good starting point.  If your budget allows, you might just want to start from scratch and redo the entire space.  You can take in an adjoining closet if it is available to increase the overall size.

Decide What is Most Important to You

If enlarging the bathroom is not an option, decide what is most important to you and begin there.  Smaller bathrooms incorporating a tub can be enlarged by removing the tub and installing a standalone shower.  This can dramatically increase the amount of floor space and maneuverability in the bathroom.

Oftentimes, sinks and toilets are too close to each another.  Consider moving the sink to another wall or installing a small marble vanity with a beautifully designed vessel sink on top.

Incorporate Smaller Tub and Sinks to Save Space

Another idea for small bathrooms is to incorporate smaller tubs, sinks, vanity tops, etc.  While there are standard sizes for some of these items, you can certainly find smaller ones.  A small bathroom doesn’t have to equate to a cramped space.  Look at all the options available to you to make this high traffic area of your home more pleasing and functional.
