During the dark and wintry months, you might find yourself sluggish, unmotivated and craving warmer temperatures. Spice up your winter season by tackling a do-it-yourself project. Not only will this home renovation project keep you occupied and focused, it will also enable you to totally transform your bathroom, resulting in an increase of your home or apartment's value.
Go Big and Bold
When redesigning your bathroom, do not be afraid to make major changes-both in functionality as well as design. If you feel like you and your family does not have adequate space for storage or dislike the lighting, now is the time to address the problem. If you are going to change any element of the bathroom, it is easiest to get it all done in one single bathroom remodeling project.
Divide and Conquer
For families or people that share the bathroom, consider dividing the project amongst yourselves. This way, each family member can contribute to the overall design and feel like a part of them is represented in some way. Of course, use this concept within reason. If one member wants black paint and another wants pea green borders, you might want to exercise your right to limit the amount of design help.
Heat It Up
Let's face it, we all wish we could go to a spa or sauna each and every day. No matter what our age, nothing feels better than the calming effects of a long, warm shower or a good soak in the bathtub. What we love during this time is the heat and comfort given from the temperature. Why not extend that to other areas of your bathroom? To keep your toes toasty, install heated tile flooring near the vanity area and toilet; this eliminates the all too startling cold feet in the morning. Like any good spa service, you typically enjoy the warmth of a fresh-from-the-dryer towel. Installing multiple towel racks or heated stainless cabinet handles nearby the shower stall unit will enable you to have that additional comfort right in your very home! Finally, one last but oh-so pleasant warming unit is a heated toilet seat. We don't have to explain this one!
Soak It Up
As mentioned, tub lovers enjoy slipping under the comforting blanket of warm water after a long day or for a good start to your morning. But some also use this time to fret about their day. Installing a sound system in your bathroom will enable you to relax to whatever tunes of your choosing. Or, for the avid news watchers, including a television on a swivel unit will help you catch the morning traffic or breaking news while you shave, apply makeup or otherwise prepare for your day.
His and Hers
No matter what your household consists of, you are more than likely to have to share it with one male, even if it is your pet. Battling for areas of the sink, whose conditioner is whose and even the clean towel can be a daily struggle. Maintain the peace in your home by clearly organizing and labeling areas with "his" and "her" elements. For towels, add labeled French country cabinet knobs on the back of your bathroom door to keep the towels nearby. Keep soap, shampoo and conditioner in separate drawers with clearly marked cabinet pulls (either by favorite color or by name) so you'll no longer accidentally lather up with his pungent shave gel or wonder where all your citrus shampoo has disappeared to.
Mimic the Professionals
Spas and salons stay in business for their ability to provide a few minutes or a few hours of tranquility. Often, their showers include massaging shower heads or total body shower spouts that transport you to a tropic waterfall. For the brave, include this element in your bathroom and you'll never regret it. Newer shower models even include steam showers that invigorate the skin and even alleviate cold and allergy symptoms.
