Our concern during the redecoration has been limited to the living room and the bedroom, ignoring the bathroom completely. It was usually only after the tiles behind the tub ballooned into a mess that the homeowner would pay attention to it. Nothing, however, ever remains the same. Bathrooms are not considered a corner of the house which can be ignored anymore. The idea of a bathroom has gone through an immense change in people’s mind lately.
Their bathrooms are being designed and decorated with as much care as any of their other rooms. The myriad styles and range of colours offered in the market when it comes to bathroom finishing is a major reason behind this. Whether it is a large bathroom at a mansion, or perhaps a smaller apartment bathroom, this range of finishing is great at adding value to it. Whatever equipment is used in the bathroom has also become a tool to make the bathroom look better. There’s much more to the imagination. One can select from numerous tiles and accessories available today. Then again, one needs to keep in mind about the space of the bathroom when it comes to major fixtures. Everything, ranging from whirlpools to saunas to bars, is widely available today.
And it is obvious that most of the changes are defined by limited space. Whirlpools have become the rage in the ’80s, but most were designed to fit the space of the tub they are trying to replace. But nowadays, showers and whirlpools are the best combination. Pedestal sinks have also gained popularity because of their ability to utilize space in the best manner possible. The size of the room, as a result, seems large.
A shower stall can be used in place of the bathtub and it comes with a whirlpool. With ample space available, people now give a higher priority to luxury, over practicality and prefer to spend more on, say a bathtub. If you can afford space and some extra money, a luxurious and wide bathtub will be the best buy. Shape and size considerations have taken a back seat, people prefer going in for something that it is different.
Homeowners have always given preference to practicality even though the ideas of comfort, luxury and looks are catching up. A bathroom that tidies itself up will still take time to develop. People will have to clean up their bathrooms themselves since the idea hasn’t been materialized just yet. Bathroom wash basins have long-necked taps which can be comfortable cleaned, at the same time shower stalls also add style to the room and keep the room clean. The bathroom will remain problem free if better materials, like cast iron are used. Cast iron bathroom fixtures are very strong and do not sink into the ground.
Getting your bathroom renovated is an expensive job and many people do not want to add the high cost of cast iron, so they buy porcelain or any similar material. The most popular material used in bathroom renovation is porcelain.
To redo a complete three piece bathroom would cost at least $6,000 for materials and installation. Few people bother only about the product, not about the money. One such person spent $40000 on the renovation of his bathroom. After the person spent this amount, he could boast of having black marble tiling, smoked glass mirrors and gold plated fixtures in his bathroom. The modernization of the bathroom had nothing missing when the pictorial windows and skylights were installed.
