Smart Bathroom Remodeling Trends




































While remodeling your bathroom, it is important to keep in mind ways to improve the usage of your bathroom along with the overall look and feel that you want to achieve. These upgrades include dual vanities, water saving toilets, and smart storage.

Dual Vanities

View Vanities

Featuring a double vanity in your master bathroom is a great upgrade if the space is available. Having the two sinks allows two people to get ready simultaneously, great if you share similar schedules. On the other hand, if space in an issue in your bathroom; single vanities are also readily available in a multitude of styles to fit the look and feel of your new bathroom.

Smart Storage

View Shelving & Storage

Another smart bathroom-remodeling trend is to add storage to your bathroom. You can find storage in vanities and linen closets, but you can also create additional storage by adding simple shelving, wall cabinets and floor cabinets as you would in any other room in your house. Matching your additional storage units to your color scheme will emphasize the styling of your bathroom and create a more consistent feel through out the room.

Brighten the Room


View Bath & Sconce Lighting

Sometimes overlooked, the lighting in your bathroom can add a whole new look to the entire room. While choosing a new lighting fixture to highlight in your bathroom, be sure to match the style of the new fixture with the style of your vanity and sink combination, you want to keep a consistent style. Newer lighting fixtures also feature new electronic technologies including low voltage wiring systems and energy saving bulbs.

Reflect Your Style

View Mirrors

Replacing that old solid borderless mirror is a bathroom upgrade that can add style and convenience to your bathroom. Adding a wood framed mirror that matches the stain of your vanity creates a more consistent look in your bathroom, also adding a mirror with shelving can create more storage for your bathroom in a convenient spot right in front of you.

Remodeling your bathroom does not have to just be about style. Adding the conveniences to your bathroom creates a better quality of life for you with just a few simple fixture upgrades.

The Beauty of Bamboo One of the World’s Greatest Resources

Bamboo is one of the world’s greatest resources that everyone just recently started to truly utilize. With the popularity growth of bamboo, people are starting to see bamboo products being labeled “Green Products” but they don’t really know much about the material. Bamboo, in fact, is an extremely green resource for a multitude of reasons.

Throughout the ages hardwoods have been the main source of material for furniture, flooring, and housing. A single hardwood tree can take as long as 60 years to reach full maturity, but bamboo can grow up to 4 feet a day and reach maturity in as little as three years, so the bamboo tree can grow back much quicker than any hardwood tree making them a greater renewable resource. Also, a bamboo grove can also produce up to 35% more oxygen than an equal amount of hardwood trees reducing your carbon footprint and helping heal global warming. With the more oxygen being produced and the fact that bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth, it is a shame that this material is not being used more that it already is.

Most people associate bamboo with pandas and worry that the bamboo used for sinks, flooring and furniture is taking away a food source from the panda. This is a good association, but not one to worry about, as pandas mainly eat grass. Bamboo and bamboo furniture is made from a much stronger type of bamboo to make the items made last for a long time and not take food away from the panda. There are a total of about 1500 different species of bamboo found all over the globe and all can be used in different ways.

Going green isn’t just a trendy phase going on right now, it is a serious subject that everyone should take part in. Bamboo isn’t just a stylish alternative to hardwood furniture, its an Eco friendly, ozone helping, oxygen producing extremely renewable resource. So when looking for furniture, flooring, sinks, or any other house hold item, please consider a bamboo product.

Elegance of Porcelain Sinks

Porcelain is mainly viewed as a very classic material for bathroom and kitchen sinks. While this is true, a porcelain sink can mean much more than a low cost sink for your bathroom project. Porcelain sinks have a huge history behind them; they are extremely durable and resistant to elements, and porcelain is available in all sorts of amazing shapes, sizes, colors, and styles to fit any need that you might have for them.

First being developed in China, porcelain sinks date all the way back to the 7th century. Porcelain is a type of ceramic that is a mixture of glass and clay fired at an extremely high temperature to give the material incredible strength and durability to ensure a long lasting product. Although, if your porcelain sink does chip or crack, the cost of a professional to fix you sink is much less expensive than if it was stone or glass.

The durability of porcelain is something that consumers have come to expect. With some materials you may worry about temperatures affecting the beauty of it, but with porcelain your mind can rest easy. And it is also impermeable to liquids and extremely stain resistant. Another wonderful addition to porcelain is its ease to clean, even with just soap and water.

While porcelain is viewed as a very classic material, with the right styling, it can put a modern twist to any home renovation while keeping that classic shine. Sinks are now available in all sorts of shapes and sizes like the traditional drop in bowl sink, or a triangular vessel sink, or even a rectangle with an overhang. Porcelain sinks are also available in an array of colors from traditional white, to black, or even red.

While looking into purchasing a new sink, keep in mind the ease of maintenance and the extreme durability that comes with porcelain sinks. Also don’t forget that with such a large selection of color and style choices, finding the one that fits your needs will be quite simple at ModernDanish.com.

The Importance of Home Lighting in Interior Design

When remodeling your bathroom or kitchen, choosing the right lighting fixtures to accent the room is a supremely important decision. The choice you make will set the tone for the style and be a key factor in determining the overall atmosphere of the room. The lighting décor you choose should gracefully compliment the rest of your kitchen or bathroom fixtures and exhibit the ideal characteristics that liken your taste. While shopping for your new lighting fixtures, keep in mind some of these important aspects and helpful suggestions.

A crucial thing to think about while deciding on your lighting décor is the mood and atmosphere that you would like to exhibit in your kitchen or bathroom. Depending on the design you select, lighting can show a bold and vivid style or serene and elegant style. It can give you and your guests the warm, delightful feeling of a cottage home or the plush, modern ambiance of an upscale penthouse. Knowing this, you should be very specific about the style lighting fixture and décor you choose to design your kitchen or bathroom.

In general, going with common accent lighting will give your kitchen or bathroom atmosphere one of a softer, more gentle feeling. On the other hand, ambient lighting generally brings a bolder, more lively feeling. Another type that one might choose would be contemporary chandelier lighting, which offers a bit more lavish touch. Be sure to consider the color and shape and the importance each has on the overall declaration of the room. Bright designs such as abstract art glass pendants will inspire a more striking, energetic aura, while sleek styles of a flush mount lighting fixture will create a lustrous, modern look.

When pursuing your desired style also make sure to consider the precise placement of your lighting fixture. One thing to keep in mind is that when you direct light into the mirror in a bathroom or kitchen the light gets reflected more directly, creating a vivid, but also more unnatural look. A great place for modern lighting fixtures is above or on the side of mirrors, which causes little reflection and offers more direct light. Another idea is to strategically place lighting above portraits or other key items that you might want to bring focus to in the room, as even the smallest touches can make beautiful, resounding statements.

The relationship between mirror depth and light intensity is also an extremely important, but not so commonly thought of, aspect to consider while choosing your fixtures. The amount of light and reflection should collaborate with one another to make a bond that will balance and harmonize the room. Too much light will create a straining glare for you and your guests, while not enough light will make the mood of your kitchen or bathroom dim and lifeless.

Remodeling your bathroom or kitchen is always exciting and fruitful, but there is a lot to consider when it comes time to choose your perfect lighting fixtures. Color, shape, style, location, and intensity should all be finely tuned. Making your dream room come alive is an intensive, but highly rewarding accomplishment that will make a profound statement in your home for years to come.

Bathroom Accessories - Add your own Flair

Replacing bathroom accessories can be one of the easiest ways to pull together the appearance of your bathroom and create a well-defined look. Bathroom accessories can help update your style with the wide variety of choices available. Towel bars, vanity storage shelves, Soap Dishes, glass wall shelving, toilet paper holders, floor rugs, soap holders, bathroom mirrors, robe hooks, toilet seats and towel rings are all accessories that can make a big difference in your bathroom and can offer a very sophisticated update.

How to choose your bathroom accessories

One of the most important things to keep in mind when choosing bathroom accessories is the measurements of your bathroom. If a bathroom is very small then try and keep accessories to a minimum. If you are redecorating a larger bathroom, feel free to add more accessories if the size of the space can handle it. Many finishes are also available to help blend together the finish of your faucet and existing pieces.

Toilet Paper holders and wall towel bars are among the most popular bathroom accessories to use in the bathroom. Towel bars can be used to hang a decorative towel to bring color and detail. A variety of paper holders are also available depending on the styling and size of the bathroom. Styles range from wall hung to pedestal for larger bathroom spaces. Towel rings are also an elegant addition to guest bathrooms to hang smaller hand towels. Vanity shelves can be a great addition to a bathroom that needs some organization. These shelves can be used to store bathroom supplies and can be really helpful if there aren't many cabinets in the bathroom.

Accessory placement is also important to remember.

Towel rings work well right beside the sink in a guest bathroom. This accessory can also be a great focal point in a smaller bathroom and there are many decorative styles to choose from. Towel bars should be hung at about 48 inches above the floor, or 36 inches in a children's bathroom. It is important to make sure there is enough room for the towels to hang freely below the bar. Double towel bars can give the bathroom an elegant touch and add extra room for family bathrooms. Paper holders can be hung on the wall, or free standing depending on the style of the bathroom. For bathrooms with tile walls or cabinetry, you may want to look into a wall hanging standing paper holder to avoid unnecessary items cluttering the floor area.

Unique soap dishes can also be an important accent piece for your remodeled bathroom. Soap dishes traditionally have been porcelain and plain. Newer versions include teak and bamboo soap dishes in contemporary designs as well as stone natural soap dish designs. Using bar soap holding styles are also ECO friendly avoiding disposable pump dispensers that in additional to disposable water bottles are burdening our waste systems unnecessarily.

Having bathroom accessories can have a wonderful impact on the appearance of your bathroom. Choosing the right number of accessories and the accessories that fit the purpose of the bathroom is important to establish the look you desire. Having too many accessories can make a bathroom appear cluttered when their purpose is to do the opposite. The perfect accessories complement the bathroom and assist in the organization of the bathroom.

Bathroom Shower Faucets

There are several things to think about when purchasing a new bathroom shower faucet for your home. For instance, a relatively straightforward choice between one-handle and two-handle shower designs, or more complex decisions like whether you want a regular valve, thermostatic valve, or pressure-balanced valve faucet. These decisions will be important in determining which shower faucet will have the honor of making it home. This year’s NKBA Kitchen and Bath Industry Show had some great modern shower styles ranging in price from $450 to $2950. Many in the showcased shower fixture arena made use of cascading water rain fall shower heads, glass waterfall shower heads, wall mount and ceiling mount rain fall systems, and a variety of wall jet systems.

What’s the difference between one-handle and two-handle designs?

The most popular design for bathroom shower faucets tends to be the one-handle design. The main benefit of this design is the simplicity, as users need only a single handle to adjust the volume and temperature quickly to a comfortable level. This is an excellent option for any bathroom, but especially that of an elderly person or child, as it is easiest to use.

If going for a more traditional style in your bathroom, try the two-handle shower design. This option gives the bathroom a distinct elegance and is generally more common among typical shower fixtures.

What should I choose, a regular shower valve or a thermostatic shower valve?

The most affordable choice for a shower valve is the regular valve; they are also the most common. The main downfall to the regular shower valve, however, is that they don’t regulate the temperature or pressure of the water. This means that if someone flushes an adjacent toilet your shower could receive an unwanted burst of cold water. To avoid this situation there are pressure balanced valves, that most states now require, which prevent instant changes in water from hot to cold or cold to hot.

Thermostatic valves measure and regulate the temperature of your shower water, keeping it constant once you are fixed on a setting. They also allow you to change the volume and the temperature separately for a versatile shower. Shower valves can also be customized to meet your personal needs as well with additional benefits such as a handheld shower or body sprays.

When deciding which type of shower faucet will work well for your home, keep in mind the styling of your current bathroom. If you already have a two handle faucet it will be cost effective to replace it with another two handle faucet. If you are redecorating and want a faucet with the simplest use, consider purchasing the one handle faucet. Also, remember to look into regular, pressure balanced, and thermostatic valves that work best in your bathroom.

Stainless Steel Kitchen faucets are one of the most durable and versatile bathroom products in today’s market. There are many stylish options available to help personalize your kitchen. Available in both polished and brushed metal finishes, solid stainless steel is the best material choice for your project if durability and longevity are what are after.

Stainless Steel Material Production

Durable and timeless, stainless steel sinks are popular for their clean, modern look as well as their resilience.

From contemporary to classic, stainless steel works well with any type of décor and complements almost any countertop or work surface. It’s also the ideal choice for coordinating with professional style appliances.

Stainless steel not only looks sleek and professional, but it wears well too. It’s hygienic and easy to maintain. More durable than porcelain or cast iron, stainless steel is highly resistant to heat, most household stains, and rust. Because stainless steel is a forgiving material, it’s easy on dropped dishes and glassware.

Stainless steel sinks are easy to care for. Water spots and mineral deposits can be prevented by rinsing thoroughly after each use and wiping dry with a clean, soft cloth. Non-abrasive cleaners are ideal for regular maintenance.

Stainless steel sinks will show day-to-day wear, including minor scratches. Over time this wear will become uniform with the sink’s grain, creating its own unique character, much like the patina on fine silver.

Tips for Replacing Your Bathroom Vanity




I
nstalling a new bathroom vanity and sink is a project that will make most people cringe, but with just a little knowledge and enthusiasm it can be performed by anyone. If you are renovating your bathroom and have decided that replacing your bathroom vanity is something that you are going to do, you should consider these tips and tricks. The vanity is the centerpiece of your bathroom, so you will want to begin by choosing one that is the size, color, and texture that best compliments your decor.


When looking for a bathroom vanity you will have a large variety of sizes and styles that you can choose from. Start sorting through the choices by acknowledging the type of theme and furnishings that you would like to have in your bathroom. Decide on the layout, color scheme, decor, and any accessories you want to include. Write notes down and keep record of your ideas, as they can turn out to be quite helpful.


Having trouble thinking of a theme to coincide with the rest of your home's decor? Don't worry. Nowadays, it's common practice to decorate each room with a different theme. If you have a southern, country style living room but would like a sleeker, contemporary decor for your bathroom, you should decorate your bathroom the way you want! Many homeowners are finding that by decorating each room in a different theme they really get to express all of the wonderful styles that they want to represent the home. If you need ideas, try browsing through magazines or home-decorating books to find some styles that fit you.


The next step is to create a budget list and begin pricing furnishings. You can replace your bathroom vanity and stay within your target budget more easily if you keep track of your goals and budget with a list. By planning out your strategy and utilizing these tips, you can ensure that you have covered every step to assuring the bathroom of your dreams.


After you have chosen and purchased your new vanity it is time to begin installation. Below are some of the basic steps that I follow. If you are not comfortable with the plumbing part of the installation, make sure to contact a licensed and trusted plumber.



Step 1. Turn off the hot and cold water supply lines connected to your old vanity sink and disconnect the water supply lines.

Step 2. Remove the sink trap. You will want to put a pail or small bucket underneath it to catch any dripping water.

Step 3. Detach the sink top from the vanity, usually held in place by some type of caulk. You may use a utility knife to cut along the caulk line to aid in the sink top removal, but be careful not to damage the wall.

Step 4. Unscrew the screws that are holding the old vanity to the wall and remove vanity from room.

Step 5. Measure the location of the drain pipes and water supply lines and find the locations of the wall studs. Use these measurements to mark on the back of your new vanity.

Step 6. Cut a hole where the drain pipes and water supply lines will be located.

Step 7. Move your new vanity into position using the measurements you recorded and screw it into the wall.

Step 8. Grab your new sink and install your faucets, drain pipes, and any other plumbing accessories to the sink following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 9. Install the new sink onto the top of the new vanity.

Step 10. Reconnect the drain pipes, sink trap, and water supply lines.

Step 11. Turn your water supply lines back on and check for leaks. Tighten the fittings if you see any leaks.

Step 12. Enjoy your new bathroom vanity!



Best of luck,
