When remodeling a bathroom, the shower and bathtub dominate all decisions; they are the starting point. The bathroom shower influences the look of the bathroom like nothing else will. Remodeling bathroom showers requires a lot of planning and a keen eye on the budget.
Choosing a shower cabin
When choosing your shower, your starting point will be the decision on where you will install it. Obviously it would be easier to locate where the plumbing already exists; Otherwise, the modifications to the pipe locations will undoubtedly cost more and make the renovation take more time. Still, if you have the time and money, and the shower or tub isn’t where you want it, move it to where you think it should be. Once you have decided on the location, you should have a basic layout in mind with the necessary details and measurements.
A popular style for showers are frameless glass doors that give a clean, contemporary look with optimal lighting; You can also get them without doors. Large showers with decorative tiles are also very stylish and popular with new homes. Acrylic showers are much cheaper than glass showers and are equally functional as well; so you will find that they are quite common. The two main considerations when choosing a shower style are appearance and price. The elegant tile and glass bathroom designs you find in magazines are impressive and expensive.
In addition to the decision on the choice of the shower cabin and its location, there are other decisions on the necessary details. You need to decide the type of shower head to be installed from a variety of multi-jet shower heads and massage shower heads available. Tiles should be selected for the bathroom shower floor, as well as for the wall area. If you choose a pre-cast fiberglass unit, your work is reduced since the shower and tub are together in this unit. If you choose luxury bath showers, they are sure to enhance the look and function of the bathroom.
General considerations
Remodeling a bathroom requires you to think on many fronts at the same time. In a relatively small space there are also other accessories, and unless they are all chosen in a coordinated way, they will not give a cohesive look to the bathroom. You need to pay attention to many small details; with each item you choose you will have to see if it will clash with other things in the bathroom. For example, when choosing bathroom showers, also consider vanities, deep soaking tubs, and water closets. Your bathroom fixtures and mirrors should be color coordinated and similar in style. The tiles should match all the other items in the bathroom. If your cabinets have brushed nickel pulls, you’d like the same finish or at least a complementary finish on your bathroom faucets. You don’t want gold handles on your vanity and silver finishes on your faucets. Attention to these details will give you a unified look.
When you start your bathroom décor in the shower and then coordinate the other accessories in the bathroom, you give yourself a well-balanced designer-quality décor and gain the satisfaction of creating it yourself.
