Bath Shower Home Design

Tiling a bathroom floor is one of the most cost- effective home improvement projects that needs moderate skills and correct materials. It’s a great way to add value to your bathroom remodel and can allow you to add upgrades like radiant heat. It’s easier than ever to source great-looking, affordable tile . Choosing the right tile color and style When selecting a tile for the floor, the color should be neutral and coordinate with your cabinetry, paint color and shower or bathtub. If your bathroom floor tends to get messy from dust and debris, consider a tile that isn’t a solid color – a variety of color changes or textures will do a better job hiding dirt than a solid color. Using a light color may contribute to a greater sense of space but that theory isn’t always true. The color choice should be more dependent upon how the color of the floor tile relates to the other colors in the room. Be sure you bring home samples of your top choices and set them on the floor next to your ot...

BY ED DEL GRANDEHGTVPRO .COM Q: Hi, Ed. Your column is a wonderful home improvement resource and I need some information! I have a clear glass shower door (Well, it used to be clear glass) and it has mineral deposits from the water all over it. It's practically all foggy glass now! I have tried all kinds of glass cleaners and nothing seems to work. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks for your time and help. - Karla, Florida A: Karla, you are not alone; most people with clear glass shower doors complain about water spots on the shower glass. The reason is that clear glass is a very unforgiving surface for a shower door and will highlight almost every drop of water or debris on the door. That is why frosted or distorting glass is a popular choice for shower doors. A door that can hide water spots and droplets will be easier to keep clean because it tends to cover up the water spots instead of highlighting them. Plus, it will offer a little more privacy while ...

Preventing water damage inside our bathrooms is just as important as directing water away from our homes. Caulking, as part of routine homeowner maintenance , prevents avoidable damage around the multiple fixtures and different building materials located inside a bathroom. To get started all you need to know are the areas inside a bathroom that need to be regularly maintained, how to remove existing caulking , and how to apply a new bead of caulk. What Areas Need to Be Maintained? Gaps occur along joints, the transitions between materials or surfaces. These seemingly minor spaces create opportunities for water to penetrate and cause large problems. The typical areas in a bathroom where caulking needs to be maintained exist in and around tubs, showers, and vanities. Specific locations will vary depending on the fixtures and materials installed in your home. Examples include: Along the seams of a tub/shower surround; Along the wall, where a tub/shower surround termin...

One of the newest ways to add warmth to a bathroom is also one of the oldest: a fireplace. While fireplaces have traditionally been found in living rooms, dens and occasionally bedrooms, the idea of soaking in the bathtub while a cozy fire glows nearby is gaining popularity. Realtors have long known that a well- designed bathroom adds a significant boost to a home's resale value, and fireplaces are a sought-after feature as well. In fact, according to the National Association of Home Builders, a fireplace is one of the top three features requested by consumers out to buy new homes. Put that fireplace in the bath, and you have a room with a real wow factor . Not so long ago, adding a fireplace meant installing a traditional, full-size mantel placed over a fireplace opening that's sitting on a hearth. Today, however, a huge variety of prefab fireplace designs — from classic to sleekly modern — means that homeowners can find a perfect fit for any type or size bathroom strai...

Photo: wayfair.com The shower pan is an unsung hero in cramped bathing quarters that rely on a walk-in shower instead of a full-size bathtub. Its role? Protecting your subfloor from water damage by aiding drainage. This waterproof floor covering —often made of fiberglass, acrylic, or tile—slopes just enough to direct water toward the drain in the floor, thus eliminating most problems caused by lingering water, from mold and mildew growth to structural issues like wood rot. Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom to include a shower pan where none existed before or replacing one that’s seen its day, basic plumbing skills and a free weekend are all you need when learning how to install a shower pan. Why Switch to a Shower? Many homeowners choose a shower (and thus a shower pan, because you can’t have one without the other) over a bathtub when renovating in order to increase the available floor space and make the bathroom feel larger . Walk-in showers tend to be sleeker in style than boxy ...

– My Hubby and I decided to tackle our main bath redo that we had been wanting to complete since we moved into our house 3 years ago . This was no easy task….so don’t be fooled by these pics =) { p.s. we had no clue at this point that I was pregnant, and we are so happy that we were able to get this bathroom done before the baby arrives. He will like the bath tub, don’t ya think?! } This redo costs us under $1,000 for a completely gutted {well almost} and remodeled bathroom. Take a look at how we completed our project on a budget: Here is our bathroom after it had been gutted…. Sorry, for some reason I didn’t take any true BEFORE pictures {now, I’m mad}! Here my Hubby is removing the drywall to install cement board above the shower Cement board installed Starting to tile…. Shower tile complete ! We chose subway style tiles with a decorative border. What do you think? Here is a pic of the cabinet base painted black {using BEHR paint/primer in one in semi-gloss}, granite countertop i...

Spotlight / By Craig Kellogg / April 26, 2017 Small Bath Takes a Moody and Chic Turn" class="post__title" tabindex="-1"> A Small Bath Takes a Moody and Chic Turn Project : Turn a master bath into a guest bathroom in Murray Hill, Manhattan Before : With a baby on the way, owners Jeanne and Philip needed to convert their 1,000-square-foot apartment from a 1-bedroom into a proper 2-bedroom, 2-bath. What had been the master bathroom would be transformed into a guest bath. Previous owners had repurposed an adjoining closet as a large walk-in shower, but the remodel would reduce the footprint of both the bathroom and shower. After : The Sweeten design and build teams  took care of architectural documents for the co-op board and expedited city permits . The family’s goal was to turn the guest bath into an ADA-compliant space that was needed in the apartment. During demolition, however, they realized an existing step-up was necessary, for the sake of the underlyin...
