Bathroom decor ideas
Is there anyone else who's tired of a dated master bath? Our house was built in 1941, and we've finally started
thinking about remodeling it. If your looking for bathroom decor ideas it is wise to plan ahead. We've discovered
that you've got to decide early on whether you are just looking for a cosmetic update or an actual, down and dirty
makeover. Moving plumbing, walls, doorways and windows, can be a real budget-buster. After some numbercrunching, we
decided to stick with a not-so-major remodel.
The local bookstore is a great place to start. There's a plethora of books and magazines
with lots of bathroom decor ideas. We found that making an idea book is very helpful. We tore out pictures from our
favourite magazines that presented features we wanted in our newly fabulous space and filed them in a three-ring
binder. We looked at lots of different room designs as well as accessories. We also had to consider the kind of
plumbing, fixtures, vanity, sink, flooring, window treatments and shelving we wanted, and included all of those in
our idea book of bathroom decor ideas.
We realized that we liked the clean, simple bathroom decor ideas best. Neutral, earth-toned colors, brushed
nickel faucets, and a vanity that looks almost like a piece of furniture. A local contractor gave us a quote on
installing a new tumbled marble floor. Because we didn´t want to move the toilet, vanity, or shower and
because our master bath is a modest size, the new flooring was actually not too expensive. With the big decisions
behind us, we focused on the accessories.
The Internet is another great tool for finding bathroom decor ideas. Again, working from our own idea notebook,
we checked the net for deals on accessories such as shower curtains, towels, and bath rugs. We were also able to
find items such as toothbrush holders and soap dispensers for our new look. It was fun scouting the Internet for
some trendier items we had seen in all the magazines. Finishing the space with baskets full of sumptuous Egyptian
cotton towels, some apothecary jars filled with cotton balls and swabs, and earthenware bowls filled with shells
pulled our remodeled bath together just the way we wanted.
The biggest difficulty was to define the look we were after. I highly recommend to also create your own book of
bathroom decor ideas to help get your project started. It has taken a little longer than we thought to complete the
remodeling, but the results made it totally worthwhile.
