Bathroom Home Improvement
No other home improvement projects allow you the kind of variety in materials designs, colors and textures as a bath remodel. From stone, glass, porcelain, granite and marble, to mosaics, slate, soapstone and more, the range of textures, materials and colors is mind numbingly vast. Take the simple bathroom tile, for instance. No more are bath tiles restricted to off white and ivory, with pretty patterns. These days, bathrooms resemble ultra futuristic personal spa spaces, with heated tiles, brilliantly colored mosaics in all the shades of the rainbow, rug mosaics that resemble the intricate patterns of an exquisite Persian carpet, glass and metal look-alike tiles, natural stone finish tiles, and even tiles that come with lights inside them. The only limitation is your budget.
If you've decided to go ahead and gift yourself a bathroom renovation, you might as well go the extra mile, and have a complete shower remodel too, and this doesn't just mean getting a new piece of the current shower that you own. For a really terrific gift to yourself, install a steam shower that allows you to enjoy a sauna- like experience in your own bathroom. A remote controlled thermostat allows you to control the temperature, and a built in CD player and TV allows you to relax while you're sweating a healthy glow. If that sounds too extravagant, allow yourself a dual shower head system that allows you to enjoy shower from two different angles, simultaneously.
No bathroom renovation is complete without a bath tub remodel. If you still have a decade-old ivory wall to wall rectangular model bath tub, it's time for a change. After all, with newer inexpensive materials like fiber glass and acrylic that give you the vintage look of claw footed antique-style tubs and other tub design models, there is no excuse to be stuck with a tub design that's drab and dreary. Corner tubs are ideal for smaller bathrooms, round tubs take up more space, and look more dramatic. These can be installed with whirlpool hydro massage systems that transform your bath into a home spa. While choosing materials for countertops, look for easy to clean and long lasting materials, like granite that go with all kinds of bath décor. Even if you want to change your bath fittings a few years down the road, your countertops will blend in just as easily.
