For many people, the bathroom is often the last room in their home to get a makeover, usually coming further down the list after the kitchen, bedroom or living room. However, the time will come when your bathroom dcor will need to be dragged in to the present.
Whilst you could just spruce the bathroom up with a new coat of paint or wallpaper and perhaps change the flooring, a proper bathroom remodel will require replacing your old sink, faucet and vanity for more stylish fixtures.
You may be surprised at the large choice of styles and designs available these days. Just take a look at some of the numerous services and products offered by some of the bathroom renovation retailers online and you will be spoilt for choice. You may also be pleasantly surprised at how affordable your ideal bathroom could be.
However, despite the range of affordable choices available, many people still find it a problem deciding on what style and fixtures to go for. So let's look at some of the main bathroom fixtures to consider:
Bathroom sinks
These days, you can find sinks that come in many different shapes and colors, ranging from the simple and elegant to the more ornate, featuring a range of printed designs. It is important to make sure that your choice of sink will fit in with the other features in your new bathroom. The sink is often regarded as the focal point of any bathroom; so a mismatched one will unbalance the look of the room. So don't just choose a sink that looks great, make sure it is going to sit well with the other fixtures around it, particularly the vanity.
Bathroom Vanities
Vanities can look good and be very practical. There is a huge variety of styles and sizes available. The key to narrowing down your choice is to choose one that will fit comfortably in to the space available in your bathroom, so be sure to take the measurements of the area before buying your vanity. Next, take your time in selecting a vanity that will match the new dcor of your bathroom.
Bathroom Faucets
Another fixture that can add a bit of sparkle to your remodelled bathroom is a new and stylish faucet. Again, you will find plenty of styles to choose from. Your choice of vanity and sink will guide you as to the best-suited height, depth and shape of faucet. Also take in consideration what you intend using your sink for, i.e., if you intend washing your hair in it, a higher faucet will make things more comfortable.
Of course, there are many other improvements you could add to your bathroom to bring it right up to date, but these three fixtures are among the most important to consider, which can really make a big difference to the look and feel of your bathroom
So, if your bathroom has seen better days, don't neglect it any longer. Start imagining what your dream bathroom would look like, and then start making it a reality.
