Bathroom Remodeling Trends & Ideas

If we factor in how much the average person spends in the shower or bath, taking into account here that we live in a hyper clean society, we have to tack on a couple more years. At least. And then think about everything else you do in there, from bathing your kids to getting ready for a night out. That’s a lot of time in that small space we call the bathroom.

It’s no wonder then, that remodeling trends for bathrooms have been doing flips and turns faster than the water going down in your toilet. And more spectacularly, too.

The bathroom has become a proper room in the home, much like a bedroom or a library. Bathroom remodeling has become a much more involved process that takes into account, rather seriously, the varying needs of the people using the space and the various design elements that can be incorporated into the space.

Here are some things that are changing and that you too, with a bit of planning, can change in your own bathroom:

Bigger bathrooms: Bathrooms are getting bigger and bigger. People are knocking down walls to give themselves more room in the space, making it a veritable room instead of the traditional closet like space that we have gotten used to entering sideways and exiting as quickly as possible. People in older homes are knocking down walls to make room while those building new houses plan ahead for a larger bathroom space.

Fancier appliances: More room lets you explore the space more. People have been making the best of the larger areas and there has been a surge in high end appliances. Not only is there more room for them, but the appliances are getting affordable, accessible, and people are starting to view them as an essential part of the bathroom rather than as a luxury. This includes steam and jet showers, whirlpools, Jacuzzis, bathroom furniture and cabinetry, to name a few.

Less limiting designs: The options open to someone remodeling their bathroom are limitless. Part of this comes from the new found perception that bathrooms can be aesthetically and stylistically interesting places and people’s newfound willingness to make them so. But new materials, like specially treated, water resistant hardwood flooring, paint, lighting options, furniture, cabinetry and hardware appropriate for the bathroom and specially designed for it have made their way onto the market. For example, while most people still opt for traditional, porcelain, white sinks in the bathroom, there are many other options available, like colored glass bowls, antique-looking ceramic bowls and even stainless steel bowls. Additionally, vanity designs span the entire spectrum from antique designs to the ultra contemporary. New flooring options can also transform the space completely. The addition of color and mixing of materials in the bathroom are both on the rise as well.

CA Bathroom Design Center has everything you need to create the bathroom of your dreams. We will guide you step by step to build your bathroom the way you want it.

5 Bathroom Design Mistakes To Avoid

Posted January 4, 2010 by cabathroomdesigncenter
Categories: Bathroom Remodeling

Tags: , , , , ,

Mistake #1 – Plumbing That is Difficult to Access

Leaks are things that sometimes occur in a bathroom. When they do, you will want to be able to access the plumbing to fix the leak without having to rip up the floor or tiling. This is a major inconvenience and is usually very costly! Check out your pipes and make sure that they are positioned in such a way that they will be easy to reach in the future.

 Mistake #2 - No Room For The Door

When you are designing your bathroom layout, consider the motion of all the doors. Whether the cabinet doors or the main door to the bathroom, you will want to make sure that they can open all the way. Nothing is more frustrating or embarrassing than finally installing the door and letting it swing open into a vanity or the edge of the toilet! If you have a small bathroom, you should try to find a door that will slide open and closed or even just a door that opens outwards.

Mistake #3 - Improperly Placed Toilets

If at all possible, make sure that the toilet is screened from immediate view in some way. This can prevent an embarrassing situation if somebody walks in when the bathroom is already occupied. You will find that the easiest way to do this is to use the edge of the cabinet or vanity as a screen. If you cannot do this, consider using a simple wooden screen or a semi translucent panel of etched glass offering a little bit of extra privacy. 

Mistake #4 – Poor Ventilation

Warm water and steam can make for a very mold-friendly environment, so make sure that you leave room for a vent to the outside. Don’t count on being able to leave a window open in order to ventilate the room. This often results in a lack of privacy and can also be a problem during Winter. Consider a bathroom exhaust fan that you can switch on or off, or one that operates automatically.

Mistake #5 – Lack of Storage

You may think that you don’t need that much storage in the bathroom, but there are quite a few things that you actually use. From towels to hygiene supplies to razors to extra soap and shampoo, they all need storage, so make sure that there is a place to put them. Don’t forget about storage space in the shower, unless you like having soaps and bottles all over the floor.

You can avoid these mistakes if you put in a little upfront effort. All you need to do is create a bathroom floor plan and correct all your design mistakes before you start with the project. Most people find it easier to use bathroom design software to create their plans, but you could also just use a pen and paper for this. No matter which method you use, always ensure that you do proper planning and you will be guaranteed a success with your bathroom design. CA Bathroom Design Center will aid in designing and creating the right bathroom for your needs.

Bathroom Remodeling Tips for a Smaller Bathroom

Bathroom remodelers crave nothing more than small bathroom ideas. If knocking out a wall or taking over a closet isn’t in your bathroom remodeling plans, you may be forced to deal with the realities of a small bathroom. Creativity and an eye for smaller fixtures can go along way to overcoming the limitations of a small bathroom.

Small Fixtures For Small Bathroom Remodeling
Finding smaller fixtures and fittings can be a challenge, but you’ll find a good selection at specialty showrooms where you can special order smaller items than you’d find in your typical home center. Here are some space saving ides to consider:

  • Sinks — There are no standards for bathroom sink sizes, so it can be easier to find sinks that are smaller than average. Wall hung, pedestal and corner sinks can all be space-saving configurations. Be thoughtful about sizing faucets to match the scale of your sink, however.
  • Tubs and Showers —Although standard tubs are 5 feet long, it is possible to find shorter tubs. American Standard’s McKenzie tub comes in a four-foot long version, for example. Also, a corner tub is a space saving option. If you rarely use your tub, consider getting rid of it for a stand-alone shower. Showers can fit into a space only 36” square, but can be custom-built to fit most any space. Neo-angle showers can fit into the corner of the room for extra space savings.
  • Toilets — Although elongated bowls are currently more popular, round toilet bowls can save extra inches. Several manufacturers make compact models that don’t sacrifice style for spacing saving designs.

Feeling Big In A Small Bathroom
If you can’t make your bathroom bigger, you can at least give it a bigger feel. Here are some ways to make your small bathroom seem bigger:

  • Let there be light. Filling your bathroom with light will increase its apparent size. Adding a skylight or glass blocks in an exterior wall can add natural light without sacrificing privacy.
  • A little color for big impact. Color can be a big factor in the apparent size of your bathroom. While dark colors can make a room feel closed and confining, lighter colors can make the room seem more open and airy.

Add Value & Luxury To Your Home

Whether you are planning to sell your home in six weeks, six months, six years or never, increasing its value can be a highly desirable outcome from any home improvement or home remodeling project. There are many great home improvement projects you can do, but remodeling the bathroom can be one of the most valuable in terms of the average home’s resale value. If the desired outcome of the bathroom remodeling project is an increase in resale value, it is important to plan that remodeling project accordingly. There are a number of improvements that are known to have a strong impact on the resale value of the home, and focusing on those improvements can maximize the value of any bathroom remodeling project.

One project that is well known to boost the value of the home is to simply add a second bathroom. Homes with only one bathroom can be much harder to sell, and sell for much less, than homes with two or more bathrooms. Adding a second bathroom can also enhance the livability of the home, whether you decide to sell or not. Installing a second bathroom right off the master bedroom can be a particularly valuable home improvement project, and a very desirable one for your family as well. The parents will love having their own private bathroom space, while the kids will love not having to share the single bathroom.

Adding a Jacuzzi tub to the master bathroom can be another valuable home improvement project. These great tubs are wonderful places to relax, and their presence can add luxury and elegance to even the most ordinary home. And if you shop around carefully adding such a touch of elegance and charm may not be as expensive or difficult as you may think.

A steam shower can be a luxurious addition as well. Like a Jacuzzi tub, a steam shower can add a touch of elegance and charm to any room, and a steam shower is a relaxing and welcome addition to nearly any bathroom. Potential buyers will also welcome this addition. Some of the fancier steam shower installations even include such modern touches as built in radios, MP3 players and aromatherapy machines.

Installing a special shower can be a great touch as well. A special shower can greatly enhance the beauty of the bathroom and the value of the home. There are a number of beautiful shower enclosures, in a number of different shapes and sizes, that can add a distinctive “wow” factor to any room. Adding one of these unique shower enclosures, or simply retiling or redoing the shower itself, can perk up even the ugliest bathroom.

Speaking of retiling, adding a new set of tiles to the bathroom can have an incredible effect on the value of the home. There are many wonderful tile designs that can have a significant impact. Simply changing the color or style of the tile in your bathroom can be a remarkably effective, and remarkably inexpensive, way to redesign your bathroom.

Adding a double basin to your bathroom is another very effective remodeling project, in terms of both your own enjoyment and the value of your home. Adding a double basin to the sink can instantly double its usefulness, and allow both partners to get ready for work at the same time. In today’s busy world the installation of a double basin can more than pay for itself in saved time and frustration.

As your bathroom remodeling plans go forward, it is important to give the room a unified look and feel. It is important that the colors, styles and designs you choose for your remodeling project fit well with each other, and with the overall design of the home. It is important to choose a single theme for the bathroom, be it contemporary, classic, modern or antique, and stick with it for all parts of the project. Taking the time to decide on a theme will make finishing the project a great deal easier and less of a hassle as well. A unified look and feel will also present a more attractive picture to all those potential home buyers.

California Bathroom Design CenterIs your bathroom becoming a serious eyesore? Do you imagine how your perfect bathroom would look like? Instead of spending thousands on revamping kitchens and other previously popular parts of the home, the trend is shifting toward bathroom remodels. More and more people are discovering the beauty, style, and luxury their bathrooms can contain by renovating their bathrooms with the latest modern bathroom furnishings and fixtures. You need to consider just what you are looking for in a new bathroom design that will also hopefully add to the value of your home since bathroom remodels and bathroom additions do have the highest return on investment of any home project after the kitchen. The bathroom is often the first place that you head to in the morning, and the last place you visit before going to bed at night. A largely functional area, most people don’t give much thought to the way this room looks. However, considering how much time you spend in the bathroom, you owe it to yourself to add a little excitement to the space, and make it a beautiful and invigorating part of the home. Remodeling the bathroom is a time when you can get creative in the designs and décor you select. Good bathroom designs can take time to develop. Creating an exciting bathroom is about adding interesting elements to already existing structures. These elements can be functional in nature, such as the towels and bathmats that everyone uses, or they can be purely decorative, such as when art and various prints are used. The idea is to create contrast, and add visual cues, to enlighten the ambiance of the space and give it a more inspiring look and feel.
