subject: Ways To Make Your Bathroom Ideas Come To Life [print this page] If you are designing or redesigning a bathroom to suit the tastes of many people then you probably find yourself dealing with input from them all and deliberating over selecting a design that satisfies everyone and also endures for a while. With all the options available, your bathroom ideas can quickly come to life with a little imagination and research.
What's the best way to create something original and implement it successfully? Follow some simple guidelines and your "bathroom design journey" will be painless, and you will end up with a bathroom that makes everyone happy.
Choosing A Color Scheme
Color is a great place to begin your journey, especially if you have more than one person to please. Combining several colors can make a bathroom feel personal to everyone involved.
Ambiance
Narrowing down your color choices is quite simple once you've decided on a theme. For example, if you've decided on a nautical theme, then blues and greens will be the colors of choice, but if you want more of an organic or natural look then soft browns, beiges, olives, and earth tones are what you want.
Looking at pictures is the next step in the process.
The Internet
Just plug in the key words, bathroom ideas, and any search engine will come up with thousands of articles and websites. Narrow your search further by adding words like traditional, modern, new and unusual. Plan to spend some time looking at these sites. It will help if you bookmark them or even print out pictures that appeal to you.
Local Bookstores
Once again spend some time browsing books, catalogs and magazines for looks that appeal to you. Pay special attention to color and look for details and themes that continue to catch your eye.
Going To Home Centers & Shows
Visiting retail stores or going to home shows will help you add to your ideas in a big way because of the large selections of items and displays. This includes specialty stores, department stores, and boutique shops for all the accessory items and smaller furnishings they carry that may create even more ideas for you.
Paying particular attention to the way you feel during this part is important. When you find an idea that makes you feel energized and excited, this should be a clue that it's something you will like for a while, so write it down. Remember, you're gathering as many ideas right now as you can, so you can assimilate them later.
