Bathrooms

Whether you're doing cosmetic changes or a complete remodel, carefully plan your bathroom project. You'll save time and minimize unwanted surprises. Two factors really determine the extent of the project: available space and budget. A "full-blown" project -- instead of changing a few items at a time -- is really the most efficient way to remodel a bathroom. But it's also messy, inconvenient and challenging. A full remodel is also a problem when there's no spare bathroom. Arranging for temporary accommodations is a big consideration.  

Design Features

One of the hardest remodeling challenges is designing a functional, appealing bathroom in a small area. Every remodel job is different, so it's hard to discuss specifics here, but a common solution is to borrow space from an adjoining room.  

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinets and countertops can be the pivotal, "make or break" features of a bathroom. They accent fixtures, flooring and help set the tone and style of the room. Moreover, they provide needed storage and surface space in one of the house's busiest rooms. Visitors might not notice a shortage of cabinets or countertop space, but those who use the bathroom daily will definately see the inconvenience  

Flooring

Almost any type of flooring can work in a bathroom. Bathroom carpet should also be a water, mildew and stain resistant with a backing that doesn't allow water to seep into the pad. However, tile and one-piece "sheet" vinyl floors are probably the best all-around choices because they're easy to clean and effectively resist staining and moisture penetration.

Ceramic tile comes in a range of sizes: from 1" x 1" mosaics up to 1' x 1' (or larger) squares. Ceramic tile is clay that's been hardened by fire. During that process, it can be left unglazed for a porous, natural finish. Or, tile is glazed for a sealed, durable surface. In most cases, glazed tiles are the best flooring tiles because they're wear-resistant and clean up easily. Porcelain tiles are a bit more expensive because their color and pattern go all the way through the tile.
