Bathroom Updates and Remodeling
Getting ready for the big bathroom remodel? Here's a list of things to get you started and some items you might not even have thought about. After designing Kitchens and Baths for over 15 years I could remodel in my sleep.
For a more personal vibe I love the vanity cabinets and marble tops from the Pottery Barn they really add an elevated look to the bathroom.
If you have a complete home, bathroom or kitchen remodeling project this list is for you! I was a kitchen and bath designer for 15 years, so I use my knowledge and experience when picking out the the items for this list.
PVC panels have come a long way. Consider different options and materials when trying to work within a budget.
So many people are putting these under their televisions in the living room, I say, when doing a bath remodel put this at the foot of the tub!
Not all toilets are made the same. Trust me. Kohler is the toilet you want to spend your money on. Make sure you have the room for an elongated toilet. Round toilets just don't measure up. Also choose chair height for ease of sitting.
Always choose Kohler for the best colors and complete design "suites"
Bathroom Mirrors
Whether you choose standard or special order think about what glass is best for you. Clear? Rain? Frosted? There are many options especially when it comes to special order.
Everyplace I've lived I've always had to have a over the John toilet storage cabinet for all of those little necessities.

I must have a hand held shower for those days I don't want to wash my hair and the days I need to bathe the dog. I can't imagine life without a Delta handheld shower faucet.
Depending on your style you might opt for a medicine cabinet. Just make sure you clarify if it's for surface or recessed mount installation.
Glass block for a bathroom window is always nice or even if you are building a shower wall and don't want to put in a door- glass block is something to consider in your design process.
Matching hardware completes the look for a complete remodel or a quick refresh. The hardware is like the jewelry of the bathroom.
Small wastebaskets freshen up and give a new look.
Nothing to fancy here but it's a must have so figure this in to your budget. You will want a replacement if remodeling.
Skme people cannot live without a bidet. I really don't have a preference.
If you have no space and are doing a small powder room, pedestal sinks often solve the problem for very small spaces.
Whirlpool tubs are a luxurious upgrade to any remodel and not one to be overlooked. For the extra money they are worth the enjoyment.
