Things to think about when you are deciding on a bathroom
remodel.
How many people
will be using the bathroom - If a family shares one bathroom it may be a good idea
to have a separate area for the toilet and shower so that someone can be
showering while another person uses the mirror and vanity.
Do you wish to keep the same
layout of the bathroom? - In this case we advise to purchase items
that are about the same size and shape as the existing dated ones.
Tub, shower,
toilet, sink – You need to decide if you would like to keep the
standard tub/toilet/sink originally installed or you will go for a new
whirlpool tub, a new toilet with pressure-assisted flush mechanisms or just a new water-saver
toilet, an under-mount sink. And don't forget think about the color.
Tiles - Tiling a bathroom can
create a clean and tidy environment, which is easily maintained. There are
many different approaches you can take to tiling your bathroom, from
simple measures of splash backs against the bath, sink and shower, to part
or full tiles. There are wide ranges of tile sizes and designs, along with
a variety of colored grout that can add a different feel to the total look
of your bathroom.
Counter top – There are
different options that you can choose from: Granite, Formica, Tiles.
Replacing fixtures
- your suite may be fine, but a change to the taps and cistern handle may
give your bathroom a new lease of life, along with a general decoration.
Lighting - Do you want task
lighting at every functional area or general lighting throughout the
bathroom?
Storage - your
family bathroom can accumulate a large amount of clutter. Whether wishing
to store cleaning materials, medicines, children’s bathroom toys or your
toiletries, there are various options available to you. A medicine cabinet
that can be locked is an ideal storage item for these childfree items,
whilst a bathroom vanity cabinet can hide many of the bathroom toiletries.
Ventilation -
in the majority of bathrooms, we have windows, which allow for natural
ventilation, however where there is no ventilation we need to install an
extractor fan.
And don't forget about
the nice things to have: fog free mirrors, a warming bathroom floor and warming
towel rods.
Please remember to make arrangements for an extra
facility to use while the bathroom remodeling is in progress.
