Give Your Bathroom A Much Needed Makeover
August 28, 2008
There was a time when bathrooms used to be functional, with little room for personal style and comfort. But, with economic success, utilitarian has grown into a fascination with pampered designs.
Modern bathrooms are the space where many like to unwind after a stressful day, the place where people begin the next day. Its new function as a therapeutic room means more and more homeowners think it worthwhile to spend hard-earned money to give it stylish makeover.
You need to choose the right bathroom products, so that the time you spend soaking in the bathtub or showering enhances the experience. Not only do you have to account for your personal tastes, but those of any future buyers of your property. Thinking beyond your current needs, you also have to consider how a growing family or decreased mobility in old age, will affect your future needs.
After you have thought that through, the fund part of designing a new bathroom begins. There are many styles available, ranging from classic to contemporary, and whatever you choose, there are of options for mod cons for your new bathroom.
Boring plastic tubs of days gone by are gone, as well. Today, there are plenty of good looking, functional bath suites to choose from. Baths shaped to provide a generous showering area at one end are a popular choice for those with smaller bathrooms or those who want both a bath and a shower en-suite.
Freestanding baths have become a popular choice in both classic and contemporary bathrooms. If you have always hankered after one, but your bathroom is too small and floor not strong enough to support one, design and materials have moved on in recent years. Many freestanding baths are designed to fit within a normal bath footprint, which means you don’t necessarily need a large room to accommodate them. Acrylic has replaced cast iron as a preferred material, making your freestanding bathtub much lighter, warmer and easier to keep clean.
For total indulgence, experience the benefits of hydrotherapy at home with a spa bath created by air blown through an array of specially positioned small flat nozzles in the base of the bath. A whirlpool bath will create a more powerful, directional massage from water jets positioned around the sides of the bath. These can be adjusted to direct the water in order to massage specific areas of your body.
If, you can’t decide between a soothing soak and an invigorating experience, or for different family needs, the perfect solution is to combine the spa / whirlpool system, featuring nozzles in the base and jets around the sides.
For those who prefer to shower, but want to harness the benefits of hydrotherapy, a multi-functional shower provides a similar experience to a whirlpool spa, with jets and different sprays incorporated into a control tower or the frame of the enclosure.
As with baths, the choice is endless when choosing a shower and enclosure. Curved enclosures have become a popular choice for contemporary bathrooms. These walk-in enclosures conveniently incorporate a wet area and a drying area, but they require plenty of space and the entrance needs to be correctly placed. If, you are short on space, choose a pivot door that opens into the shower area or a sliding door.
A bathroom makeover may be indulgent and will cost you dearly, but when you are having a nice soak at the end of the day, you’ll think it money well spent.
