Before I started my bathroom remodel, I was quite concerned that I'd never have the money to redo the space. I had never painted the walls. This resulted both in stress and in wasted time. I was surprised to discover that there were so numerous DIY kits for bathroom remodeling that I didn’t know where or how to begin. I started with the basics, and worked my way up. Here's my story before and after!
Here are some of my favorite before-and-afters: The first is a stunning transformation of the bathroom. The designers ripped out half of the tub and replaced it with a classic pedestal tub. This makes the space more spacious. The wall patterns and floor were also changed from darkened to lightened. This allows for more natural light to enter the room. I'd love to own a bathroom like that in my home. This bathroom is great for relaxing.
This is where a soaking bathtub was added to the guest bathroom. The old bathtub was tossed and replaced with a new, larger jacuzzi bath. The room was transformed by three types of tile and a new shower. I love the large tub and the patterned tile in it. It has a modern look and a clean, sleek design.
The homeowners' bathroom needed an upgrade. They weren't sure what they could accomplish. The original, 1980s bathtub was outdated and needed to be replaced. To remedy the limited space, they removed the bathtub and installed a shower cubicle. This option works well in a small bathroom. They decided to replace their vanity with a vanity with two mirrors and a his-and-hers sink. After that, they added adequate lighting. The new elements made the room feel more spacious and inviting.
After the initial design, Lauren made changes in her bathroom to make it more comfortable. Lauren decided to add a combination lighting to the vanity to increase its light output. She also replaced the faucet by a newer one. This was both more convenient and increased the bathroom’s ventilation. A heated towel bar was installed, which made her towels more comfortable. A great way to update your bathroom's plumbing fixtures.
The finished bathroom looks elegant, classy, and elegant. It doesn't have a generic or overblown appearance. It's important to pay attention to design details and it is worth it. The finished space looks much better than the original vanity color. The tile is stunning and the art fits well in the space. It's the perfect solution to this bathroom's dark look. You'll be delighted with the final result.
