subject: Bathroom Renovation Job On The Horizon? Go Modern! [print this page] While most homeowners go to great lengths to decorate their living areas, bedrooms and kitchens, many neglect to update the bathrooms on a regular basis. Considering the fact that the bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the house and one that guests frequent as well, it would seem that more people would consider bathroom renovations more often.
If you have decided to renovate your bathroom and are in need of ideas, consider making your bathroom more modern. Home interior specialists today are recommending exciting updates such as mosaic glass tiles and low-profile Japanese-style raised bathtubs for the bath.
When it comes to choosing a new sink and bathroom counter-top, be sure to look at all of the modern options available. The focus today is on vessel sinks which are very sleek, innovative and which are essentially pieces of ''bathroom art' at an affordable price. A vessel sink is a dish-like sink that sits atop the drain/counter-top. These sinks come in a wide variety of styles and colors and can be made from many types of materials such as glass and stone. Stone vessel sinks are often paired with waterfall-like faucets that are not only highly functional, but are eye-catching, unique and very beautiful.
For bathroom flooring, the trends of today are marble, stone and other similar materials. Nothing pulls a newly decorated bathroom together more than the correct choice in flooring, so take your counter-tops, tub and shower into consideration when choosing flooring.
One of the most versatile types of flooring being used in today's modern bathroom is travertine flooring with a brushed finish. This is a type of natural stone flooring that belongs to the limestone family that has been used for thousands of years, dating back to the Romans. Today it is being used for not only flooring, but for showers, counter-tops and wall coverings. This stunning stone flooring comes in many beautiful colors such as gold, walnut, beige and ivory and it is very easy to keep clean.
Be sure to consider adding some new, modern lighting to your bathroom as well. Pinpoint task lighting is ideal over the vanity area while soft ambient lamps on walls can create a very warm and relaxing atmosphere when bathing. Not only will your bathroom be transformed into something more beautiful when you are done renovating, but the value of your home will be increased as well.
