bathroom makeover

Remodeling your bathroom can make your home far more saleable when you put it on the market. Why not makeover your bathroom to give it a more up to date and modern look?

The first thing to think about is your bathroom suite. If you have an old bath, basin or toilet they may be in dire need of replacement. Does your existing bathroom have a shower or a bidet? These days people prefer showers to baths as they use far less water, far less energy and they are far more convenient. It’s a good idea to pick up one or more catalogues presenting a range of bathroom suites that can provide great inspiration.

Lots of people like to have bidets in their bathrooms these days. You’ll have to judge whether your bathroom is big enough for one of these?

You may like to consider the addition of a second basin. When your family are all rushing to get ready for work and school in the mornings a pair of bathroom basins can be a great help.

But maybe your existing bathroom suite doesn’t need to be replaced but you still want to create a more luxurious, modern bathroom environment. A new bathroom floor, with fresh wall tiling, new lights and bathroom furniture could be just what you need.

Under floor heating is guaranteed to make a bathroom feel warm and luxurious. It’s lovely to step from the shower or bath onto a tiled floor that is warm under the feet. Always use non-slip tiling on bathroom floors for safety.

Some well chosen items of bathroom furniture will do a lot to brighten up a dowdy bathroom and give it a more up to date, modern feel. You might like to add a stylish backlit mirror or a luxurious heated towel rail. If you or your partner regularly shaves then why not install a good quality shaving mirror and an electric shaver socket.

Heating, ventilation and condensation should also be considered when planning a bathroom makeover. If your bathroom becomes steamy with condensation forming on the walls and windows then you would probably benefit from improving your bathroom ventilation system.

Water economy has got to be a high priority these days so you should consider installing a toilet that provides an economical low-flow option. When considering your toilet don’t overlook the toilet seat. There are some fantastic toilet seats available today that will give your bathroom some personality. And why not choose a soft-close toilet seat that doesn’t clatter annoyingly when it’s closed.

I hope that my suggestions provide some food for thought when considering a bathroom makeover. Hopefully, with a little planning and creativity you will be able to create the bathroom that you have always wanted.
