How to Install the Best Bathroom for Your Budget
As the Vice President and Senior Designer/Sales Executive for First Rate Renovations, Inc. in San Leandro CA., David Pinsley does bathroom remodeling projects in the whole Oakland area. Here, he gives advice about how to install the best bathroom for your budget.
Having a fantastic bathroom is important if you're selling your home or thinking of selling it in future. If you want potential buyers to look your bathroom over and like what they see, think about investing in a home spa, or having only top-of-the line fixtures if you can afford it.
Create a Modern Bathroom
When it comes to a bathroom, there are several important facets which most modern bathrooms today have, and which many homeowners require as par for the course. If you can install as many of these as possible, then you are doing all that you can to maximize the resale value of your bathroom. To create a modern bathroom, you should:
Install a whirlpool bath
Have a front-access tub
Install a large stall shower with a built-in seat
Add multiple showerheads in the shower area
Make sure you have a steam shower
Put in a sauna bath, if possible
Have lots of storage space
Have a place for people to sit down and lounge around
Keep things neutral, with beige or off-white walls
Use cultured marble products
Cultured marble products are man-made products that can be used to forma variety of bathroom fixtures such as bathtubs, and other fixtures and accessories as well. They are great because they look good for such a long time, they do not wear out easily, and they will keep your bathroom looking clean and fresh without dirty tile or grout.
Build a Bathroom Spa
Building a bathroom spa is something that many of us dream about. It goes without saying that everybody should have a spa in his bathroom if he can afford it. It's very nice to have a spa, as it has the whirlpool bath, the sauna, the steam, the relaxation area, and plenty of storage space to make everything look sleek and uncluttered. Basically, it has everything you need for your comfort.
The only thing that stops people from building a bathroom spa is cost and space. In order to have a bathroom spa built inside your own home, I would estimate that you would probably need about 500 to 600 square feet and spend roughly $100,000 at least. If you have the space and budget to make this luxury a reality, then by all means, do it. Here are some of the amenities that have become the most popular when choosing to invest in a spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom at home:
Whirlpool bath
Immersion bath, or soaking tub
Steam shower with multiple shower heads
Sauna and/or steam cubicle
Built-in entertainment system, in some case including integral televisions within the bathtub
His and her separate suites
Under-floor heating
Mood lighting
Integrated towel warmers
I have done a couple of nice spa rooms that have all of the nice amenities. Going to one of these bathroom spas is just like going to a very hi-tech gym. It's like having everything in the comfort of your own home that you normally would pay money to visit. The only thing you can't install is your own masseuse, but you can hire one too!
