Before I started my bathroom remodel I was very concerned about the fact that I wouldn’t be able to afford the necessary materials. In addition to that, I had never painted my walls. This created a lot unnecessary stress and wasted time. Then I found out that there are so many DIY kits to renovate a bathroom that I did not know where I should start. I decided to start at the beginning and move on from there. 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. The room now has more space. The wall patterns and floor were also changed from darkened to lightened. This allows for more natural light to enter the room. This bathroom is what I would love to have in my own bathroom. The new bathroom is a great place to relax.
This was the result of adding a soak tub to the guest tub, and then removing the old bathtub and installing a jacuzzi tub. I was able give the room a fresh look by installing three different types tile and a new bathroom shower. The new larger tub and the patterned tiles in the shower are both a favorite of mine. It has a very modern feel and a sleek, clean design.
The homeowners needed to upgrade their bathroom. They were not sure what to do. The original 1980s bathtub had been damaged and needed to replaced. They decided to take out the bathtub and install a shower cubicle in the tiny space. This option is perfect for a small bathroom. The couple then decided to replace it with a vanity with a double sink and two mirrors. After that, they added adequate lighting. The room felt more open and spacious thanks to the new lighting.
Lauren made some minor changes to Lauren's bathroom after her initial design. For more lighting, she added a combination lamp to her vanity. She also replaced the faucet with a new one, which was more convenient and added to the bathroom's ventilation. A heated towel bar was installed, which made her towels more comfortable. Changing the bathroom's plumbing fixtures is a great way to give your bathroom a new look.
The finished bathroom looks classy and elegant. It isn't cluttered with unnecessary details. It is important to consider the details of design and it will pay off. The vanity color looks better in the finished space than it did when it was painted. The tile looks great and matches the space well. Changing the shower curtain is the perfect solution for this bathroom's drab look. You will love the final result!
