With modern living and green standards they way we remodel and live in the bathrooms has changed. Now bathrooms have a lot of room for improvement and those improvements make our life easier, energy efficient, water efficient and also enhance our everyday bathroom experience.
The most challenging bathrooms are those that are so little people think they cannot enhance them but those are usually the ones that can accommodate more new improvements as there are many things that can make them look bigger and also more efficient.
Small bathrooms are challenging places and design solutions really can make a huge difference in the way you enjoy them every day.
Wrong decisions in construction projects can be very expensive with a designer you have more control and also you have their experience on you side. You will share a lot of intimacy so make sure you like your designer
Here is a list of most do to enhance your bathrooms
1. Create a concept around it. We created a concept of a water fall for a client and it was so cool even the faucet follow our concept.
2. Choose water efficiency fixtures, Our favorite ones are La Cava and Kohler and for the toilet Aquia dual flush from Toto is our favorite.
3. Use recycle materials Our green material for bathrooms that really enhance any project is Ocean glass tile or locally made (tacoma) glass tiles bought once that everybody though were Italian or German and they were local so try finding local stuff it is greener.
4. Get heated floors "this is a most"in all new bath remodels it makes sense no to wear shoes in a bathroom don't you think
5. Get rid of the transitions in floor heights just to make it universal. Put grab bars next to toilets, and in showers.
6. Always put cabinets that have non toxic finishes preferable plywood because it can take moister a lot better
7. Choose quality in this economy cheap choices are not a frugal approach
