Make Your Point With Emphasis

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:43:42 +0000

Emphasis is the creation of a focal point, a dominant item of interest in an environment. Designers usually counsel clients to find or create a focal point in each room as a first step toward organizing the space attractively. In the bathroom, it may be an imposing double vanity with a pair of mirrors or a big soaking tub angled in the corner opposite the door.

Selecting Bathroom Fixtures

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:37:55 +0000

Selecting bathroom fixtures and their fittings requires a bit of know-how, along with a sense of style. Some fixtures and fittings have changed in style over the years since indoor plumbing first transformed human existence, but their functions have undergone only minor changes.

Bathroom Safety

Bathroom safety and future maintenance require careful consideration. Nonslip flooring, handrails or grab bars for tubs and showers, pressure-balancing valves on showerheads to protect against scalding, and tempered glass for shower doors are some of the safety basics your installer should consider nonnegotiable.

Floor and Wall Surfaces for Bathrooms

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:27:10 +0000

Virtually any material can be used to surface walls and floors in the bathroom as long as it’s waterproof, either naturally or by means of an impervious finish. If your choice is wallcovering, make sure it’s vinyl, and use moisture-resistant adhesive not ordinary wallpaper paste.

Miniature Marvels Kids' Bathroom Decorating Idea

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:19:28 +0000

At one time, a bath designed just for children was a novel idea, but today, many homes have a bath reserved just for the family’s children. In a supremely kid-friendly bath like this, the only thing that remains the same as in a conventional bath is the ironclad rule: Never leave a child in the tub unattended for even a moment.

Color Explosion Bath

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:25:26 +0000

Fields of strong color played against bright white fixtures is a foolproof recipe for an exciting contemporary space. If your budget is limited, you can make a memorable statement just by painting the walls in one or two of your favorite vivid colors.

Bright White

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:21:36 +0000

One of the reasons white remains right in so many homeowners’ minds is obviously that “white goes with everything.” White fixtures look peaceful against pale blue walls today, brilliant against burgundy red ones tomorrow.

Fresh and New

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:17:48 +0000

Modern designs seem most successful when they take maximum advantage of what contemporary style stands for: a free-spirited, aesthetically honest, and technologically savvy approach to creating an environment for living.

Contemporary Bathrooms

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:11:36 +0000

“Contemporary,” sometimes used interchangeably with the word “modern,” is less a structured concept and more a way of life. Contemporary is cool and clean and can be as casual or as elegant as you please. Because so much of a bath is dominated by modern fixtures anyway, many people simply choose contemporary style, regardless of what they’re using in the rest of the house.

Drawing from Nature

If privacy isn’t a problem on your property, why not treat your bath to the same scenic pleasures you give your living room? The lovely view is made even more inspiring with wonderful framing. A half-round window as long as the soaking tub is a dramatic focal point, its pleasing demi-lune shape evoking the classic curve of Palladian windows but with much more dash.

Space and Light

Some might say space and light are among the few real luxuries. Some also think space and light should be the only components of a bathroom design. Learn about how minimalism brings elegance of simplicity to design on this website.

Simple and Elegant Bath

Texture overrules ornamentation in this simple and elegant bathroom. The smooth grain of the bath’s wood cabinets and the frosted-glass shower enclosure have a natural drama that doesn’t require excessive fixtures.

Tasteful Decor

Black-framed art is a modern touch in a room that’s traditional in tone. Combining strong points of classic and contemporary design, this bath captures the divine style of old-world elegance without coming across as being stodgy.

Minimalist Decorating Tips

A pleasing harmony of past and present is achieved in this dark-floored, roomy bath. The new streamlined fixtures call to mind designs from the ’20s and ’30s. But incorporated in this white-on-white space, the fixtures take on an understated contemporary tone.

Bathroom Decor

It may be the smallest room in the house, but the impact of wonderful bathroom decor can be enormous. Inch for inch, simply no other home improvement yields more convenience and personal pampering.

Start your planning right here.

Basic Bath Considerations

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 20:10:33 +0000

If you’ve ever wondered why many bathrooms are back-to-back or why professionals tell you to avoid moving fixtures, it’s because of all the plumbing and mechanical systems you can’t see.

I read somewhere that thousands of people get injured falling in their bathrooms. What can I do to prevent falls in my new bath?

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 19:59:26 +0000

Because bathrooms have so many fixtures crammed into a small space and because the surfaces are often wet, falls are very common. Bathtubs and toilets are two high-risk areas. To reduce risk, consider replacing a bathtub with a shower. Choose a shower that has a low threshold so someone with limited agility can get in and out easily. Ideally, the shower should be able to accommodate a wheel chair. The shower should be equipped with a seat and include a flexible hand-held shower head to make it easier to bathe.

Get the most out of your space

The priority is storage that doesn’t draw attention to itself. The pictured bathroom works well because the large cupboard is low-level and hidden beneath two curvaceous, countertop sinks. The cupboard doors are painted to blend with the tile surrounds and are handle-free, so your eyes aren’t drawn to it, but to what’s going on above, which is far more interesting.

Can I change the entire layout of my bathroom during my bathroom remodeling project?

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 19:36:39 +0000

On a large-scale bathroom remodeling project, the bathroom layout can be changed to just about any configuration. However, it is often more affordable to let the plumbing layout of your present bathroom define your bathroom remodeling project.

What features are currently the most popular in bathrooms?

Second sinks are very popular because they allow two people to use the bathroom at the same time. Some people are putting in separate toilets and even separate showers. Many people replace tubs with showers.

Reflective outlook

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 05:52:44 +0000

Letting scenery take pride of place in a bathroom doesn’t have to be at the expense of an interesting interior. One way to make the most of both indoors and outdoors is to have them stand in quiet contrast.

The Perfect Bathroom Design

frozenmangos — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 05:22:26 +0000

What you will find in the perfect bathroom:

Large bathtubs or bubble baths are a must in luxurious bathrooms, but they are expensive and require a lot of space.

The perfect bathroom needs a ceramic tile floor. Ceramic tiles are the most artistic and beautiful improvement over any other type of bathroom floor.
