Here are some tips to consider when renovating your North York home bathroom, because, an effective bathroom design should address all your needs, physically and spiritually.
- Choose elegant fixtures. A classic claw-foot tub is like bathroom sculpture. A pedestal sink with graceful lines is more attractive than a blocky cabinet vanity.
- Sit in a bathtub before buying it. If you only have enough space for a small tub, buy an extra deep one. Because bigger isn’t always better. 60 inch tub is fine for most people. It should offer you enough room to stretch out and provide a secure foothold.
- Select durable flooring. Ceramic, marble and stone tiles are all excellent durable and water-resistant choices for a bathroom. Subfloor heating coils will make these hard surfaces warm. Well-sealed hardwood floors offer natural warmth and act as a foil for the other hard, cold surfaces in a bathroom.
- Hang a stylish mirror. This can highlight your bathroom at the same time it will make your bathroom more attractive.
- Use found space. You should take advantage of space between wall studs by recessing a tall storage cabinet into the wall to maximize vertical storage while saving floor space.
- Build a shower area. A ceiling mounted rain shower head and/or a high wall-mounted showerhead that splashes less water will keep the area outside the shower drier.
- Design lighting that works. Always install dimmers. Good lighting is imperative. Combine halogen pot lights with wall sconces beside or over the mirror for lighting with no shadows.
