So, you’ve decided that the time has come for a bathroom makeover. Design trends come and go, but your bathroom should stand the test of time and be something that will be useful and comfortable for you, plus add resale value to your home, should you decide to sell. Avoid trendy design styles that will date your space. Classic and timeless designs will never go out of style.
One major design change that Steel Horse sees quite frequently is in the modification of an existing tub/shower combo to a walk-in shower. This alone will update and refresh your bathroom space. Incorporating stylish wall tiles make the bulk of the shower, and adding a fresh pop of color and design to built-in soap niches, as well as a pebbled-style non-slip shower floor, make for quite a statement. A beautiful new shower system rounds out the space.
Bringing in a custom vanity will elevate the design of the space, and will provide some valuable storage space not typically found in builder-grade vanities. Opt for drawers and cabinets with pullouts. Our custom cabinetry is made from hardwood and can be paint- or stain-grade. Add to that a gorgeous stone countertop with an undermount sink for ease of upkeep. Quartz is a durable material that does not require the more frequent maintenance that granite does, but granite and marble are viable options.
Don’t forget to upgrade your toilet! We are seeing an increase in interest in bidets with heated seats and washing features. If that is not your preference, consider choosing a smooth-sided comfort-height toilet that is easier to keep clean. Several manufacturers offer ‘self-cleaning’ toilets, with more powerful flushing capabilities.
If your home is older, you may choose to upgrade the exhaust fan. Many have features such as heating and lighting, and can be more powerful depending on the model.
Accessories…the fun part! Vanity lighting, towel bars and hooks, cabinet hardware. Choose a finish that will be easy to maintain while providing the aesthetic that you are seeking. Don’t forget to think outside the box by adding a lamp to your vanity for soft lighting ambience and a fun vibe. Hang a fun, vibrant picture for visual interest.
At Steel Horse Constructors, we go above and beyond to ensure that your new bathroom will provide you with the style, luxury and functionality that you require. Consider all of these elements in your bathroom remodel.
