Modern Bathroom Remodel

Modern Bathroom Remodel

Remodeling a bathroom would require a lot of skilled workers. You would need a tiler, a plumber, a  floor installer, an electrician, a painter and a cabinet installer to do a complete makeover of your bathroom. However, if you are one handy Mandy and has the talent to do all the work, lucky you!

How you will transform the bathroom depends on your 'view' of a bathroom. If you see the bathroom as strictly a space for taking a bath and other hygienic functions then a few changes like new modern faucets or the installation of bathroom vanity cabinets is fine.  But if you are willing to go to great lengths so that you could build your dream bathroom, then there is a myriad of bathroom designs and styles that you can choose from. 

What is great about bathroom remodeling is the fact that you can choose whatever style you want even if it's in contrast with the rest of the house. It's your bathroom after all.   For modern faucets you can opt for a wall-mounted type like the Montego.

The three bathroom fixtures that you have to consider first are the toilet (water closet), bathtub and lavatory or sink.  Generally there would be no need for you to relocate these fixtures if your plan is to just replace the old fixtures with new ones. A good combination for a tub and a sink is: Cecilia Rectangular farm bath granite and Eka Contemporary Lavatory granite sink.

However, if you have re-designed the locations of each fixture to accommodate a shower enclosure and other bathroom furniture then the services of a plumber is called for.  Take actual measurements of the fixtures that you plan on installing to know if they will fit the allotted space.

Contemporary bathroom designs are more popular than ever. People love the clean and clear lines of contemporary designs. Even contemporary sink faucets have those distinctive straight lines.

Other popular styles are country or arts and crafts and traditional design. Country style will always be popular. The blues, whites and off-whites of country style would be suitable for a bedroom in the same genre.  Hang baskets with plants on ceiling. Nail wooden pegs on the wall for bathrobes and towels. Make use of different wicker baskets from clothes hamper to storage for toiletries and towels. There are bathroom sinks, bathroom vanities and bathroom cabinets that fall under this category.  You can opt for a claw-foot tub, a blue sink and sleek sink faucets.  A great combination would be Silvia Classic Slipper bath tub, Sara Single Layer Glass sink  fitted with Felisha contemporary lavatory faucet.

Choose wallpaper with small flower prints for your traditional bathroom. The essence of this bath is old world splendor. Accents such as brass towel rings, vintage bathroom vanities and gilded mirror frames are perfect additions. If you have vintage collectible like hand mirrors and antiques hair brushes and other knickknacks, display them on the vanity table.
