 Whether you are giving the kids a bath, attempting to wash Fido, or just relieving the stress of the day, the proper bathtub can make quite a difference. For 5 Star Luxury every day of the week a whirlpool bath is a must have. If you are on a budget, replacing your existing bath with a nice shiny tub is still something to consider and makes a much better impression that one that is dingy and decades old. Time For A New Toilet Although it is one of the most used fixtures in the bathroom, most of us never think about what makes one toilet different from another—until it is time to buy one. Toilet Models vary from very basic equipment to a truly royal flush. Believe it or not toilets are now available with features such as a heated seat and remote control. Flushing effectiveness and water conservation are an important factor for some people. They not only contribute to saving the earth but also to saving on utility bills as well. Highly efficient toilets use no more than 1.3 gallons per flush. Often times size is one of the most important considerations when purchasing a toilet because it is replacing and existing fixture. When looking for a new toilet here are some of your options: Round Front vs. Elongated Round Front Toilets are compact to fit in small spaces. Elongated toilets have room in the front for added comfort and are often ADA compliant. Another consideration is One Piece vs. Two Piece Two piece toilets have a separate tank and bowl, while one piece designs have a single integrated tank and bowl designs. Two piece toilets are easier to repair while one piece is easier to clean. Let There Be Light Light is the first element of design. Without it there is no color form or texture. Usually new showers and fixtures get top billing in a bathroom remodel but lighting is a very important factor as well. Different lighting types help create a unified look in the bathroom. As a general rule you can never have too much lighting in the bathroom. Here are some specific areas to highlight depending on your bathroom design: Tubs/Showers: Experts say you'll want good general light, which a recessed fixture offers. Aim the light's beam at the outside edge of the tub to reduce glare. Light fixtures should be bright enough so you can see when you're shaving and shampooing. Also, choose one that can stand up to the water. Window: Keep dressings and blinds open during the day to provide plenty of natural light. Vanities: A light placed above the vanity provides cross lighting when used with wall sconces. The Ceiling: For an elegant touch - as well as some extra light - suspend a decorative light fixture from the ceiling. No More Drippy Faucets  Nothing will make as big a difference as a new Faucet. There are more styles and finishes available than ever before. If you are replacing a faucet but not the sink you will want to pay special attention to the existing holes as well as the valve. If you do decide to replace the sink as well there are some new styles that are very popular. Pedestal and Free Standing Sinks are stylish options. Another up and coming style is a vessel sink which looks like a bowl sitting on top of a counter top. These sinks are available in so many bright and vibrant colors. Using color to accent certain parts of your bathroom will add a new dimension and help your fixtures pop. The Details Matter There are many ways you can add detail to your bathroom which can complement the overall design. Adding new hardware such as new pulls for your cabinets can match your faucet and tie it all together. Also there are a variety of accessories available such as towel holders and robe hooks which are useful and also look good. Also a simple paint job can make a difference too. Currently the most popular colors are neutral earth tones. Other popular choices are light greens and blues. And There You Have It Each of these projects individually can make a huge difference and most can be completed in less than a day. A bathroom facelift is something you will never regret and thank yourself for in days to come. Regardless of your budget, you're sure to find something to freshen up your home for spring, so have fun and happy home improving! Featured Products For Your Bathroom
