The layout of the new bathroom remodel should be functional so that every square inch can be used allowing for enough storage and closet space.  Outdated bathrooms were small and not efficient.  Today’s bathrooms are remodeled into spacious and well-designed with separate soaking tub and glass shower enclosure, double sinks and relaxation areas. 


The remodeled bathroom should give a feeling of peace and serenity, allow you to relax and relieve stress white taking a bath or a shower.  Jacuzzis or sophisticated showers with multiple jets are now available on the market, allowing homeowners to turn their ordinary bathrooms into extraordinary spas.  Nothing accents the bathroom more than a proper lighting fixtures as well as sunlight, which can be achieved by having a window over the tub.  Accessorizing your bathroom with green plants, artwork and pictures helps to personalize the room and enjoy the surroundings. 

Nothing makes a more distinctive statement in your remodeled bathroom than wooden cabinetry.  Since the bathroom cabinets are not only stylish but functional as well, the storage possibilities are virtually endless.  The complete line would include hutches, linen cabinets, console linen, pilaster or separate wall units for towels and artwork.  His and hers vanity cabinets with a sit down area, decorative features and marble top are among the most popular choice for homeowners.  Mirrors and its different sizes and styles can dramatically change the look of the bathroom and its size.  Mirror finishes should match the cabinetry and enhance the spaciousness.


Large showers with a seat, overhead shower and also multiple shower heads in a custom oversized enclosure are increasingly popular.  Taking a shower seating and relaxing allows your body,mind and soul to rejuvenate and feel as if you were taking a bath. Bathroom sinks and faucets add another important touch when remodeling your bathroom.  Faucets are made of stainless steel, chrome, bronze, nickel, brass, iron and copper.  The color of the faucet should match and compliment the sink, mirrors and cabinets as well as the complete look of the bathroom.  Brass, bronze and nickel go well with warm or neutral colors and finishes.  Polished chrome and stainless steel emphasize refined and dramatic look especially when surrounded by cold colors.

Every bathroom needs at least one GFCI-protected outlet by the sink, even if the vanity lighting fixture includes an outlet. The receptacle needs to be far enough away from the bathtub and shower to prevent the use of electric shavers or hairdryers while bathing.

BATHROOM VENTING

Every bathroom needs ventilation to prevent the accumulation of moisture and mold. If the bathroom to be remodeled is on an exterior wall, you should consider a window with an opening equivalent to 10 percent of the bathroom floor area. If your bathroom has only interior walls, the building code requires a fan with ducting to the exterior. Putting both the fan and light on the same switch guarantees the fan will be running when the bathroom is in use, although you may prefer independent switches. Switches or electrical fixtures cannot be within arm’s reach of someone using the tub or shower.

BATHTUBS THE CHOICES

Cast iron and steel bathtubs are heavy, even when they’re not filled with water. Fifty gallons of water in a tub adds another 400 pounds to the floor load. Floor joists in older homes were seldom designed to take such a concentrated load. Should you decide to have a heavier type tub installed in your bathroom remodeling project, then we suggest reinforcing the floor joists and adding cross bridging between joists. We may also need to double the studs. Even a shower stall can stress floor joists that weren’t designed to support bathroom fixtures. If you plan to have installed ceramic tile on walls, floors or vanity tops, additional framing to the floor and wall to support the additional weight to provide more strength might be suggested. Ceramic tile is heavy and requires rock-solid support to resist cracking.
