Bathrooms can be a luxurious way to add a powerful dimension to your
home. There is nothing wrong with showing off a little bit in your
bathroom with modern chic fixtures. It may
also help your home or apartment sell well. The first step in the
design process is to define the new decorative
style that we wish convey. In simplest terms we have
the minimalist, classic, avant-garde and even ethnic styles. During
this step of the process. You may want evaluate the space that you
currently have. Take into consideration
the lighting and the decor of the rest of the house. This will dictate
some of our choices.
The following step is to choose color scheme. The single color style
scheme is thing of the past, today's bathrooms are decorated with a
combination
of colors and materials. Large variations in color schemes can help
create different zones within a room, even in smaller sized bathrooms.
When
it comes to fixtures choose products that defy the tone of your
bathroom. For example a clear glass glass block
enclosure is a very sexy way to invigorate the mood of your bathroom.
Installing or purchasing a tub with water jets may also be a great way
to reinvigorate yourself after a long day at the office. Claw foots
bath tubs are also making a come back. Claw foot bathtubs sit about 1-2
inches off the ground supported by something that looks like a clawed
foot. Dimensions of claw foot bathtubs vary but the typical size is
about sixty inches long and thirty inches wide. The claw foot bathtub
is freestanding and gives your bathroom a vintage look. This type of
tub was popular decades ago and made its way back
into today's bathroom with its sensual look and relaxing feel. Toilets
have also underwent drastic changes which can add to the motif of
your
bathroom. Toilets today come in compact designs, with modern flares.
The wall hung toilet is one of my favorites. This style of toilet has
tank installed into the wall instead of visible tank like an ordinary
toilet. The flush is usually mounted on the wall in button form. A wall
hung toilet can save a great deal of space and very sleek looking.
Proper knowledge of installation is must though. These can be tricky to
install. When choosing a toilet try to choose a dual flush toilet. This
type of toilet saves a lot of water and are just as easy to install as
a regular toilet. Bathroom faucets also come in many different styles
and finishes that complete any bathroom decor. Recently nickel and
brushed chrome finishes have been very popular amongst consumers. But
if you are going with a modern look I would suggest something shiny
like silver chrome finish. However shinier faucets tend to show more
dirt or fingerprints. Making them a little bit harder to maintain. When
you to choose to update your bathroom make sure
to check out the green available alternatives. Low flow products like
shower heads and faucets are available in great styles. They may save
you money in the long run and can also help sell your home.
