Home Improvement And Small Bathroom Design
By Steve Gee
Improve your property by remodeling your small bathroom
Everyone you invite into your home goes into your bathroom sooner or later. You've probably got bedrooms and studies and closets in your home that your guests never ever get to see unless they've asked you for the full "guided tour" and even then that may be the one and only time they see those places. However, anyone that stays in your home for more than a quick chat is bound to get to see the inside of your bathroom sooner or later.
Your bathroom is the one place in your home that every one of your guests are going see and use. It makes a lot of sense then, to make your small bathroom a very important part of your home improvement plans.
Sadly many people don't give their bathroom the love and care that it deserves when they remodel. It could be because they fear the job or the expense or both. There are many things that you can do to improve your small bathroom that aren't difficult and aren't too expensive.
You can do a lot in a small bathroom by adding a few mirrors, painting the walls and adding some nice lighting at the edges of the bathroom. All these things are relatively inexpensive and will make your small bathroom a more appealing place to be. These techniques won't make you any more room in the bathroom but they can make it seem as if your small bathroom is a lot bigger than it actually is. It's a bit like the conjurers trick with smoke and mirrors, without the smoke.
Property improvement reasons
People make home improvements for a variety of reasons but the main ones are listed below.
+ Maintenance
+ Better standard of living
+ Add value to the property
+ Make efficient use of energy
+ Because you feel like it
Lets take each one of these and see how they apply to your small bathroom.
Small bathroom maintenance
Fixing leaking faucets, cracked mirrors and broken bathtubs are all things that you need to be doing no matter what size your bathroom is. The room might be small and so might mean that there is less to break but it also means that it might be harder to fix. It's clear that making repairs in the bathroom will benefit your family, improve your property and increase the value of your home for when you come to sell it.
Improving your living standards
Adding to and improving the features in the most used room in the house can make a big difference to your living standards. Make your bathroom a place that you are more than happy to spend time in.
Increase the value of your home
This is a hugely important reason for planning the best small bathroom design that you can. An impressive bathroom can make a very real difference when you come to sell your home. If you are planning to sell up soon then you should pay a lot of attention to your small bathroom.
Energy efficiency
With a bit of thought with your small bathroom design you can make some energy savings and do your part to conserve the planet. By installing an on-demand water heater in the shower and taking showers instead of baths you can minimise your electricity and water usage. Replacing your toilet for one with a dual-flush can also save water.
Because you feel like it
Some people just like to change things now and then and there's nothing wrong with that providing you are prepared to spent the time and money and have a lot of patience.
Remodeling a bathroom can make a big difference to your life no matter how tiny it seems.
