Re-decorating and updating your bathroom is guaranteed to make your home more appealing when you put it on the market. But why not remodel your bathroom to give it a more up to date, modern and luxurious feel?
The first thing you'll probably want to think about is your bathroom suite. Your bath, toilet and basin may be in need of replacement if they are old, worn and cracked. Do you currently have a shower and a bidet? People prefer the convenience of showers over baths, and they use far less water. It's a good idea to pick up one or more catalogues presenting a range of bathroom suites that can provide great inspiration. Also many people are adding bidets to their bathrooms these days. Consider whether your bathroom is large enough for the addition of a bidet?
If you have the space you may like to consider adding a second basin. When you and your family are all rushing for work and school in the mornings having a pair of basins in the bathroom can be very helpful. But maybe your existing bathroom suite doesn't need to be replaced but you still want to create a more luxurious, modern bathroom environment. A new bathroom floor, with fresh wall tiling, new lights and bathroom furniture could be just what you need.
Under-floor heating really does make a bathroom feel warm and comfortable. It's lovely to step from the shower or bath onto a tiled floor that is warm under the feet. When re-tiling a bathroom floor be sure to keep safety in mind and use non-slip floor tiling.
Some well chosen items of bathroom furniture will do a lot to brighten up a dowdy bathroom and give it a more up to date, modern feel. You might like to consider a heated towel rail or maybe a backlit mirror. Why not make shaving easy and pleasurable with a good shaving mirror and shaving socket.
Heating, ventilation and condensation should also be considered when planning a bathroom makeover. Improved ventilation can help reduce condensation on your walls and windows.
Water economy has got to be a high priority these days so you should consider installing a toilet that provides an economical low-flow option. Give some thought to your toilet seat as well. There are some fantastic toilet seats available today that will give your bathroom some personality. And why not choose a soft-close toilet seat that doesn't clatter annoyingly when it's closed.
I hope that my simple suggestions help you create the bathroom you have always dreamed of. A little planning, forethought and creativity is all you need to restyle your bathroom and make it a more comfortable, luxurious space.
