Bathroom Home Improvement
Apart from kitchen remodels, bath remodels are one of the highest ROI home improvement projects you can undertake. The bathroom is a smaller space, and so, renovating it is not as expensive as doing up a larger area. You can easily have a dramatic bathroom renovation within a small budget. Install good looking, yet inexpensive bathroom cabinets, and give your bathroom a floor makeover with natural finish ceramic tiles. If you'd like a complete bathroom renovation, then you absolutely have to have a shower and bath tub remodel too. If your budget allows for top-of-the-line everything, consider mosaics that resemble, porcelain, glass or metal, and embossed tiles which are becoming really popular in high end homes.
If you've decided to go ahead and gift yourself a bathroom renovation, you might as well go the extra mile, and have a complete shower remodel too, and this doesn't just mean getting a new piece of the current shower that you own. For a really terrific gift to yourself, install a steam shower that allows you to enjoy a sauna- like experience in your own bathroom. A remote controlled thermostat allows you to control the temperature, and a built in CD player and TV allows you to relax while you're sweating a healthy glow. If that sounds too extravagant, allow yourself a dual shower head system that allows you to enjoy shower from two different angles, simultaneously.
A century ago a large, deep claw footed tub was a luxury only to be enjoyed by the upper classes. These days, it would be hard to find a home that doesn't have at least one tub attached bath. Having said that, a bath tub remodel may not be for everyone. If you have no space for a bath tub, but have an existing stall, consider a tub-shower combo that allows you to enjoy both within the same space constraints. A corner tub can be fitted into a smaller space easily. If you have space, splurge on a whirlpool hydro massage tub. Corner tubs, standalone claw footed or granite tubs and large platform mounted or sunk in tubs, are all choices for large bathrooms. There are no restrictions where bathroom paints are concerned. Chose soft shades, or dramatic colors -- the choice is entirely yours. The cost of bathroom countertops will again be determined by the quality of material - marble granite, soapstone and quartz are among the more expensive materials, while laminates, and even stone, prove cheaper alternatives.
