The top remodeling project undertaken by homeowners is the bathroom, followed closely by the kitchen. Although there are a number of reasons for this one are that bathroom remodeling in Rockland County NY costs less, it’s as simple as that. A bathroom project, even though there are potential complications will normally cost less than redoing the kitchen. Here are a few timely tips on how to make your bathroom renovation project easier.
• Recess: If your bathroom is small then think retro and recess things. The soap dishes, toilet roll holders, medicine cabinets can all be recessed and if you use the space between the joists you can even find space for a built in cupboard for towels.
• Floors: The most practical bathroom floor is ceramic tile which takes to water well and requires very little maintenance. The problem with ceramic flooring is the lack of grip. Although in the past wood floors were rarely used in the bath, modern engineered woods that are well sealed make a wonderful floor for a bath.
• Colors: Color can make a world of difference in the visual appreciation of the size of the bathroom. If the bathroom is small plan on staying with light colors, favor that part of the spectrum that leans towards white or cream.
• Lighting: It is strange but in a room that is used to shave and put on make-up is often very poorly lighted. Good lighting will enhance a bathroom remodeling in Rockland County NY more than anything because the room can be used for one of the reasons it was designed for.
• Fixtures: No matter what color fixtures are newly available, in a few years they become outdated and passé. Stick with white or very light cream colored fixtures and they will still be in vogue for years to come.
• Hangers: There can never be enough space to hang things in a bathroom. The best way to add available space is to use the walls. Add hangers which will give you ample place to hang up your bathrobe instead of draping it over the toilet.
• Mirrors: Mirrors, although primarily used for grooming are also an important design element. Mirrors can make excellent use of light and add depth to any size room.
If space is available, a single free-standing piece such as a decorative chair or cupboard can add class to the room as well as offer a place to sit or store towels and other accessories.
