Bathroom Home Improvement: Is Your Bathroom Worth $100,000.00?
Where do you start?
First you need to develop a plan and then find the proper supplies for your bathroom home improvement. Look in your local phone book under plumbing supply. You should see a few listings for suppliers. Once you have found a good supplier you can call to see if they have a showroom to visit. Often times, you can get some very good ideas based on their displays.
The sink goes first
One of the most important features in any bathroom home improvement project is the sink. There are many wonderful brands of sinks on the market to choose from. One of my personal favorites is the Kohler brand of sinks. If you live in or near a larger city you should be able to find a Kohler show room to visit. There are many things to consider when choosing a sink.
How much space do you have?
If you have enough space you may want to consider adding two sinks (his and hers). Many of your more prestigious homes have standing pedestal sinks. This adds a very elegant look to the bathroom. Another nice addition to consider, is having your sink custom painted. Many artists specialize in just this type of work. They will create wonderful masterpieces on your bathroom sinks. Once you have found the sink design that you desire, it is time to consider the faucets.
Sinks are not complete without the faucet. This may sound like a silly statement, but unfortunately; many people stop at the sink. Don’t install an inferior faucet. Faucets come in many different shapes and sizes. There are chrome faucets and gold faucets, long and short faucets. Choosing the right faucet could make all the difference in the world. Once the sink and faucet are in order you can move on to the countertop.
Choosing a nice countertop for your next bathroom home improvement project can be tricky, but don’t worry, we’ll solve your problems. Now you need to find a good building supply store for the counter top purchase. Here is where you need to pay close attention to detail. Depending on the type of counter tops you choose, you might want to consider hiring a professional to install the countertop. A little mistake in the installation of the counter top could end up costing you more than you will spend to hire a professional.
So now, you have a new sink, faucet, and counter tops. That may be enough to really spice up your bathroom, but just in case you need more, you may want to consider the flooring too. Here is where you can save a little money on your next bathroom home improvement. I’m not talking about installing cheap supplies, but you do not need to spend as much money on flooring as you should on the other details. You can choose some nice material for the flooring, but usually you will not need as much material, as for the kitchen or other rooms in the house.
Once you have the key components completed above, you should be about ready to wrap up this bathroom home improvement project. Now add some candles and a few nice towels to spice up the look and you have just increased the value of your home.
