The number one home remodeling project is the bathroom followed closely by the kitchen. One of the reasons why bathroom remodeling in Olympia, WA ranks at the top is the amount of money that will be spent in remodeling a smaller space, it’s that simple. A bathroom project, although not without complications will usually cost less than doing over the kitchen. Here are a few tips that might make your renovation project easier:
1. Recess: If your bathroom is small then think retro and recess things. The soap dishes, toilet roll holders, medicine cabinets can all be recessed and if you use the space between the joists you can even build in a linen closet.
2. Floors: Probably the most practical choice for a bathroom floor is ceramic tile which takes to water well and requires little maintenance. The problem with ceramic flooring is their lack of grip. Although in the past wood floors were rarely used in the bath, modern engineered woods that are well sealed make a wonderful floor for a bath.
3. Colors: Color can make a world of difference in the visual appreciation of the size of the bathroom. If the room is small plan on staying with light colors, in that part of the spectrum that favors white or cream.
4. Lighting: It is strange but in a room that is used to shave and inspect make-up is often very poorly lighted. Good lighting will enhance a bathroom remodeling in Bethesda more than anything because the room can be used for one of the reasons it was designed for.
5. Fixtures: No matter what color fixtures is launched on the market, in a few years they become outdate and passé. Stick with white or very light cream colored fixtures and they will still be modern in years to come.
6. Hangers: There can never be enough space to hang things in a bathroom. The best way to add to available space is to use the walls. Add hangers which will give you ample place to hang up your bathrobe instead of draping it over the toilet.
7. Mirrors: Mirrors, although primarily used for grooming are also an important design element. Mirrors can make excellent use of light and of course add depth and size to any room.
If space is available in your bathroom, a single free standing piece such as a decorative chair or cupboard can add class to the room as well as offer a place to sit and store towels and other accessories.
