For most Kansas City residents, remodeling the bathroom ranks right up there with remodeling the kitchen. This is partyly because it increases your homes value, but also because we are pampering ourselves more, especially in these tough economic times. Because of this we are creating baths that are at their core private retreats.
Bathroom interior design today combines stone, tile, metal, wood and glass for a very “spa like” luxurious look. There are so many different fixtures and finishes that you can choose from that you can spend a bundle or a little as you choose.
It is important to really sit down and think about what things are most important to you before you start your remodeling project. Quality and personal satisfaction – along with your budget – will no doubt impact the final design.
Here are some of the popular trends to get your creative juices flowing when you start thinking about your bath remodel:
- Increasing the size of the bathroom for the things you want: furniture, airy walk-in showers, soaker tub.
- Getting rid of noisy jacuzzi tubs and replacing it with a free standing cast iron soaker tub which retains the heat longer than fiberglass.
- Private toilet: many prefer a seperate room for the toilet in the master bathroom, or at a minimum a privacy wall.
- Many people now are thinking outside the box and increasing the entertainment value of the bathroom by installing flat screen TVs, music, lounge chairs and even small refrigerators!
- Combining different materials in the final finishes: wood and stone, glass and chrome – glass tile being the most desired because of the beautiful glow it gives off.
Bathroom fixture manufacturers are really pushing the limits of design today as homeowners are willing to spend the bucks to get the retreat they want in their master bathrooms in Kansas City - the possibilities are endless. Have fun!
