Bathroom Remodelling Tips To Get You Started

A beautiful bathroom can be a real pleasure in life – plus it adds great value to your home. Shining fixtures; large, clean, light-reflecting mirrors; a deep, relaxing bathtub; and soft, matching towels, mats, and décor can make time spent in the washroom feel like a luxurious stay in a hotel.

The cornerstone of a quality renovation and a gorgeous redesign involves looking for a local plumber who can offer advice, install, and upgrade plumbing and fixtures that will be the base for your dream bathroom. For residents on Vancouver Island, The Super Plumber - Plumbing and Drain Services can review your plumbing situation, find and fix any problem areas, and install your new bathtub, shower, set of sinks, or provide a complete bathroom renovation. If you need a plumber Victoria and Islands are covered. To learn about our plumbing services give us a call any time.

When renovating either a small portion or your entire washroom, looking at completed remodels is an excellent source for inspiration. Better Homes & Gardens is a good starting place. You might be after a different feel for your private master bathroom versus your downstairs bathroom which is frequently used by the kids. Looking through catalogues of many sinks or tubs in a row might be useful to see the variety, but seeing a whole, finished bathroom put together offers ideas for matching pieces and designs that look great as a set. It's also good to see visuals of colour choices. What you imagine a yellow and orange bathroom to look like might not be as great as a room completed by a designer who has pulled together a proper sunset palate.

Where you plan to do certain activities like have a shower after work, take a relaxing bath, put on your make-up, or give the dog a bath after a run-in with a skunk, also factors into these choices. Perhaps you have a bigger budget for the downstairs guest bathroom where you'd like to impress, and you're looking for some lower cost options for the upstairs one. Considering function + budget for the specific room will help inform choices.

Lighting is an important choice that shouldn't be overlooked. Bathrooms are a space to not only get ready for the day but a place for you and your house guests to check in on how they're looking. Choose the right wattage and bulbs that offer the light colour you're after, i.e., not fluorescent! The fixtures, mirrors, and décor you've chosen will also shine with multiple lighting sources.

It's worth spending a little extra money on nice soft towels in rich colours. Artwork can go in the bathroom if it's properly protected, too. Again, it's wise to check out design blogs and discover colour matches you haven't thought about before.
