Areas To Consider When Redecorating Your Bathroom

By Darrel Wite


For those who have a large family, you most likely know that the most popular room in the whole house is the bathroom. The majority of people probably spend as much as an hour in the bathroom every day. If you live with many people, you know that the bathroom is apparently always occupied. It is funny that the room that is the busiest happens to be the room that is the smallest. Before you decide to remodel your bathroom, there's something you need to think about before you start.

To begin with, you should think about adding a shower stall rather than a bathtub. A lot of people don't take a bath in a bathtub each single day. When there are small children in your home, then you should get a bathtub. If the majority of of the people in your home are at least twelve years old, there isn't any reason for you to install a bathtub instead of a shower stall. In the event you add a shower stall instead of a bathtub, you'll have more room in the bathroom. For those who have a smallish bathroom, you'll value the newly found space.

If you are planning to replace the basin in your bathroom, select one in lighter colors. Darkish colored sinks is bound to display the hard water stains, soap scum and water spots. You might find yourself cleaning up your sink many times each day. So when selecting a color for your sink, make certain that it really is light in color.

Also if you propose on changing the color scheme of your bathroom and you want to get colored fixtures, you should make sure you get the fixtures before you begin your remodel. Finding fixtures in different colors is usually time consuming and usually will have to be ordered. In fact if you're not too picky, limit yourself to white or off white colors for your fixtures. These kinds of fixtures can be purchased in virtually any home improvement store. This can be good if you end up being forced to replace them down the road.

Also if you intend on adding tile to your new shower stall you will need to understand that you will not be able to use that shower for a few days after it is done. Thus even if your bathroom is finished in a week, you will still have to wait to use the shower. There's also a lot more work involved in adding tile unlike a standard shower stall.

Something you simply must plan for in the event you only have one bathroom, is that you will need to have a friend or neighbor nearby that will let you use their bathroom until the renovations have been completed.
