Before I began my bathroom remodeling, I was concerned about not having the finances to do the job. I had never painted the walls. This led to a lot of stress and a lot of wasted time. Then I discovered that there were so many DIY kits for bathroom renovation that I had no idea where to begin. I decided to start at the beginning and move on from there. Here is my before-and after story!
These are my favourite before-and afters. The designers ripped out half of the tub and replaced it with a classic pedestal tub. This gives the room more space. Also, the floor and wall patterns were switched from dark to light. This adds more light to the room. I'd love to have a bathroom like this in my home! It's a wonderful place to relax.
This is where a soaking bathtub was added to the guest bathroom. The old bathtub was tossed and replaced with a new, larger jacuzzi bath. I gave the room a completely new look by using three different types and installing a shower. I love the pattern tile in the shower, and the larger tub. It is very contemporary and has a clean, modern design.
The homeowners' bathroom was in need of an upgrade and were not sure what they could do. The original, 1980s bathtub was outdated and needed to be replaced. The small space was solved by removing the bathtub and replacing it with a cubicle shower. This option is perfect for a small bathroom. Then they decided to replace the vanity with a his and hers sink vanity with two mirrors. They also installed proper lighting. They made the space feel larger and more inviting with these new elements.
Lauren made changes to the bathroom after she had completed the initial design. Lauren added a combination light above the vanity to provide more lighting. She also replaced her faucet with a more practical one that improved the bathroom's ventilation. A heated towel bar was also installed by her, which increased the temperature of her towels. The best way to make your bathroom look new is to change the bathroom's plumbing fixtures.
The bathroom looks elegant and sophisticated. It lacks a generic, over-exaggerated look. It is important to consider the details of design and it will pay off. The vanity color looks better in the finished space than it did when it was painted. The new tile is beautiful and the art works well with the space. You can transform the shower curtain to change the look of this bathroom. You will love the final result!
