Bathroom Remodeling Ideas
Are you remodeling because all of the fixtures- tub, shower, toilet and
sink- are outdated? Or is there a specific area of the bathroom that
doesn't work for you? Maybe the floor is outdated or peeling, or the
mirrors are in inconvenient places, or you'd like to knock out a closet
or install some shelving. Before you start, pin down the exact things
about your bathroom that need work. Don't immediately assume you need to
overhaul the entire room. You may be able to save yourself big bucks by
starting with the problem areas. If your bathroom seems too small, you might not need to tear out a wall. Maybe you just need a pedestal sink instead of a cabinet one. If you're more than ready to just tear the whole thing up and start from scratch, you'll have to make some decisions about what's going to replace the current fixtures. Take some measurements of your tub, sink and toilet, the replacements you're considering, and the size of the room. Keep in mind that just because you want a claw foot bathtub doesn't mean you should
have
one- your bathroom may be too small for anything but a tub that fits
closely into the wall. Draw some diagrams, and move things around until
they seem to fit. But keep in mind that the layout of a bathroom is
fairly limited. The water pipes only come out of the walls in certain
places, so unless you're planning on tearing up the walls and the
plumbing, your toilet and shower will probably stay where they are, even
if you replace them with new ones. Safety in the bathroom is also a consideration. Consider handles around the tub and a non-slip floor covering specifically designed for bathrooms. Many older bathrooms are lacking in safety features, and that's a down side when it comes time to estimate a home's value.

Whether you're doing it to sell the home or for your family, it's best to take space, safety, and convenience into consideration. You spend an awful lot of time going in and out of your bathroom.
