If it is time for a new bathroom and you have thought about it for awhile now there are many ideas that can be done in your bathroom renovation. Any ideas are good but it also a good idea to out them all down on paper that way your contractor will know what your are thinking about. There are so many things that can be done to give your bathroom a new look from adding a mirror to changing the shower stall.
If you are planning to change to door, pocket doors do not need a wide arc to be opened. This will give you some added room in you bathroom. Sometimes this is like old bathroom fixtures to some people. Also to add some space to your bathroom you should get rid of the closets they are great but the shelves could go in the hall and you can use shelves or hanging mounts for everything in your bathroom.
When changing the paint color you should go with a lighter color like whites or cream colors. Lighter colors make your bathroom look as though it has opened up. These lighter colors are better then dark colors because dark colors give a closed in cave like feeling. Also to add some illusion of extra space in your bathroom you should hang some mirrors on the walls, like new sinks sometimes. More mirrors will make your bathroom look bigger.
If you are gong to do a total makeover for your bathroom then you must look into installing a stand up shower. Stand up showers that sit in the corner are the best choice because they will give you some extra floor space. Remember that if you are planning on a major bathroom renovation, write everything that you have in mind down on paper, which is not the same as old sinks usually. Another good thing to do is to hire a professional to do the confusing work.
