Before I began my bathroom remodeling, I was concerned about not having the finances to do the job. I hadn't painted my walls before. 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 that I would start with the basics and then work up from there. Here is my before-and after story!
These are my favourite before-and afters. The designers removed half of the tub, and replaced it with a traditional pedestal tub. This creates more space in the room. The wall patterns and floor were also changed from darkened to lightened. This increases the natural light in the room. I'd love to own a bathroom like that in my home. The new bathroom is a great place to relax.
Here, the guest bath received a soaking spa, while the old tub was removed and a new Jacuzzi tub installed. I was able give the room a fresh look by installing three different types tile and a new bathroom shower. I love the large tub and the patterned tile in it. It is modern and clean with a sleek design.
The homeowners' bathroom was in need of an upgrade and were not sure what they could do. The 1980s-era tub needed to be removed and replaced. To make the space more usable, the couple removed the tub and replaced it with a small shower cubicle. This is a great option for small bathrooms. The couple decided to replace the existing vanity with a two-mirror vanity with a sink for each of their children. Then, adequate lighting was installed. These new elements created a feeling of spaciousness and comfort in the room.
Lauren made changes to the bathroom after she had completed the initial design. Lauren decided to add a combination lighting to the vanity to increase its light output. She also replaced her faucet with a more practical one that improved the bathroom's ventilation. She also installed a heated towel bar, which improved the temperature of her towels. It's a great way for your bathroom to get a new look.
The finished bathroom looks sophisticated and elegant. It lacks a generic, over-exaggerated look. The design details matter and it's worth it. The finished space has a vanity color that looks even better than it did before. The tile looks great and matches the space well. You can transform the shower curtain to change the look of this bathroom. The finished product will be a delight!
