5 Smart Tips For Remodelling Your Bathroom

Plan for Shower Storage :
• A better option is ceramic tile shelving that's installed in the corner of the shower.
• You'll want in-shower storage for your shampoo, soap, razor, and body wash.
• Don't settle for cheap plastic units that hang from the showerhead or attach to rods
Use Accent Tiles
• Mosaic or glass tile is expensive But you don't need a lot of it to add some pizzazz to the bathroom.
• You need to use a dozen sheets, yet it made a big impact.
• Using the special tiles as a border or sporadically in the tile pattern gives the design a special look
Get a Curved Shower Rod
• A seemingly small detail, curved shower rods add a surprising amount of space to your shower.
• The curved models look nice and attach to the wall with screws instead of tension, so you don't need to worry about them being pulled down.
Update the Lighting
• Think of this as part of the remodel. You don't want to end up with a new bathroom but out-dated light fixtures.
• Plan your lighting early on so you'll know if you need to run new cable. Consider new lighting over the shower for better illumination while you're bathing.
Add a Spacer to the Toilet Flange
• If you replace a vinyl floor with tile, the extra height of the tile will probably raise the toilet enough to no longer fit snugly on the flange for the waste line in the floor.• you'll need a flange
spacer that attaches to the flange with screws to give you the extra height.• Once it's in, you install
the toilet normally, with the wax ring.
