Follow these tips if you are going to makeover your bathroom. So, have a definite plan, be patient and precede step but step to renovate your bathroom.
The first step in planning a bathroom makeover is to collect information. Lots of information. It’s a good idea to spend several weeks or even months exploring bathroom design. Visit home improvement stores, and big box stores, and bathroom stores. Look at home design books and magazines. Watch the TV shows and check out the web. This kind of information gathering opens your mind to new possibilities. The next two steps are interchangeable, but they form the basis for your bathroom makeover. You need to decide on your budget and make a scale drawing of your bathroom. Computer software is available to help you make drawings and even to help you plan the design, and it’s very helpful. Some home improvement web sites have similar tools.
Next you’ll need to make decisions about overall design and color. How do you want the new bathroom to feel? How will it flow with the rest of the house? Think through those questions and begin to make decisions about the design. If you hire a contractor, plumber or electrician, you’ll want time to check references, and you’ll have to schedule the work you need done. Then it’s time to choose materials and products. If you are replacing or adding a tub, shower, sink or toilet, you’ll need to choose those.
Flooring, countertops, tile, paint colors, furnishings…there are more decisions to make in planning a bathroom makeover than with most rooms. This brings up another point. Before you begin planning your bathroom makeover, it might be helpful to take a stress management class, so that, when the contractor breaks the custom mirror you bought you can take a deep breath, calm yourself, and decide what to do next. It can either make or break deals for many sales. Because of the rising cost in construction, nowadays, some resellers are hesitant to invest in reconstructing bathrooms so that they can demand for a higher price.
Refurbishing involves making use of what you already have in a bathroom. The most basic you can do to a bathroom is wall painting. Choose a color that combines the new look and feel of your bathroom. Often, it should be something that’ll keep the bathroom bright and convivial. If you make use of a counter-top, a great way to “update” your bathroom is to work on it and do some makeovers. Choosing a theme such as granite (or something that would look like granite) is typically popular. As such, granites blend well with other motifs. Older bathroom cupboards that are already somewhat run down would benefit in re-surfacing them, typically done as a repaint in most materials. Wood materials are often re-stained to create a new look. In repainting, you need to use the correct base paint. Also, make sure that you’ve properly treated or sanded the cupboards before applying the new paint.
Adding new installations to your re-surfaced cupboards such as new hinges, knobs, etc. also helps obtaining new look. This is essential to help you update the look and feel of your bathroom. Retro elements (such as a lavender sink, bathtub and toilet) are typically out-of-placed when combined with newer and more modern fixtures. Setting a budget, knowing your limitations and keeping your creative juices flowing, will most definitely be helpful. Here, you can really tie everything into your “new” bathroom. Adding some color coordinated plush towels and designer soaps, nice photographs or paintings, or as simple as new window treatments and a shower curtain can work wonders in pulling everything together.
