Keep in mind that 80-85% of what you put into your bathroom you get back when you sell your home.

Once you have plans on paper and a budget to guide you, you can begin to think about where you are willing to spend your money. Some things, such as plumbing and electrical work, will be a fixed price and there’s not much you can do about it. Fixtures, however, come in a wide range of styles and prices. But remember to look beyond the price tag.

The bathroom is becoming a place to relax and even luxuriate after a long day. Homeowners are upgrading the rooms, outfitting them with everything from soaking tubs to heated floors. Large showers are growing in popularity, not only is the stall getting larger, it's getting more airy, with much more glass. Hinged doors and heavier glass are replacing sliding glass. People want luxury in the bathroom and feel like a trip to the spa. Some homeowners are even taking out partial shower walls, or all shower walls entirely, and making the entire tiled bathroom a shower.

The tub is still a popular piece for the bathroom, it has just evolved over the past few years. Homeowners are steering away from noisy jacuzzi tubs for a quiet experience of a soaking tub. These jetless tubs are often deep, insulated tubs, dropping the huge amount of decking that typically surround tubs installed in high-end homes in the 80s and 90s.

Bathroom Pricing, Cost Estimates and Research

In most recent times, homeowners are investing a lot of money into searching for ways to improve their bathrooms and create a more comfortable, functional feel. After all, the craziness surrounding our every day lives makes the time in the bathroom some of your only personal time. It seems reasonable to want your bathroom to be soothing, rejuvenating, and practical.

Bathroom remodeling is a wonderful way to add value to your home and pleasure to your hectic life. With so many aspects to consider, such as cabinets, faucets and fixtures, flooring, toilets, vanities, showers and bath tubs, bathroom renovations can often be very overwhelming. Let's start with the basics, the actual layout and floor plan of your new bathroom.

Bathroom Design

The design of your new bathroom is where you should start your planning. Sometimes it is a great idea to hire Earthgroup Construction and Remodeling for bathroom design to help you optimize your limited space. The bathroom designs shown on TV and in magazines may work well for another design, but only those who see your bathroom up close and in personal can create an effective design.

If you do plan to design your bathroom yourself, make sure to think about the amount of time you spend in your bathroom each day and use this as a way to rate what needs to be upgraded the most. For example, the more time you spend, the more space you need.

To add to your comfort, consider knocking down a wall and creating more room. Keep in mind that an estimated 80-85% of what you put into your bathroom remodeling, you get back when you sell. In addition to more space, think about installing fog free mirrors, heated floors, or a beautiful whirlpool.

Once you have successfully decided on your new bathroom design, the challenging decisions arise. It is now time to start selecting color scheme s, vanities, cabinets, counters, single or double bathroom sinks, bath tubs and every other element that helps set the tone of your bathroom. The bathroom tile may be one of your most difficult decisions solely due to the vast amount of styles, colors, and sizes to choose from.

Larger tiles are becoming more and more popular; however, they require the underlayment to be level. Mosaic tiles, one inch tiles, are another break through in bathroom designs. Mosaics come in countless colors and allow you to create your own custom floor design.

Bathtubs and Showers

Choosing a new bath tub is one of the more exciting remodeling decisions. This is your chance to get rid of that old, uncomfortable rectangle tub and upgrade to something rejuvenating, something massaging, something more like a whirlpool tub or a soft bathtub. Maybe you simply wish to improvement the look and feel of your old tub by covering it with a new shell.

Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to pamper yourself, but be smart about where you pamper yourself. Sometimes it is a better idea to upgrade your shower, something you use two-three times a day, as opposed to investing money into a tub that might just sit there unused. Showers are becoming more and more attractive with new technology. Your shower can be turned into a steam room, stimulate hydro massages, and for your convenience they now come in multiple shower heads. Homeowners are turning towards brighter and more sun-filled master bathrooms , adding windows and even skylights in the bathroom.

Bathroom Fixtures

The next step is to select a new bathroom sink, faucet, and vanity. A lot of creativity can go into these three essential bathroom elements. Above counter sinks seem to be the new trend for bathrooms. They perform a practical function and can be viewed as art at the same time. Above or beneath, you still need to select the material/s that your sink will be made of.

Generally, sinks can be made from stone, marble, glass, copper, and stainless steel. Special custom sinks are also available. The material you choose will depend much on the overall appearance you are looking for. The same holds true for the vanity you select. Your bathroom scheme will be revealed through the material your vanity is made of.

Are you looking for a modern or contemporary bathroom? Faucets, on the other hand, function differently depending on what material they are made from. If you are looking for along lasting faucet, stick with materials such as brass and copper. But make sure to select faucets that compliment your sink and vanity.

Bathroom Design with Tile

The bathroom has become an increasingly important room in the home, one where ceramic tiles play a role that other materials have trouble taking on. Tile is an extremely versatile décor material that compliments a bathroom greatly. Homeowners love how tile can be used in countertops, flooring, or simply as a decorative wall design.

With the proper planning and design, tile can create a dramatic look in your bathroom. Another perk to tile is that is often inexpensive. However, it is still very important to select quality tile and grout. Also, the design and installation weighs heavily on the final result.

Working with tile can often be a daunting task if you do not understand the basics. Knowing the basics can help homeowners decide how much expert help they will need with the selection, design, and labor.

Some of the first things one should know about tile are the many ways in which it can be used to enhance a bathroom. Below are some tips on how tile can be used to customize a bathroom:

• Tile can be used as a trim and/or backsplash with other materials such as plastic laminate, Corian, granite or marble. Backsplashes are a great place to add decorative tile.
• Consider setting tiles on a diagonal to enhance the design.
• Consider hand-painted tiles, custom artwork tiles, three-dimensional decorated glass tiles, and murals.
• Consider using unglazed bathroom ceramic tile if you want to have the most slip-resistant surface. Unglazed tile will need to be cleaned more frequently though.
• Mix-up design techniques by using 12-inch glazed "pavers" on countertops. Pavers are typically used on floors.
• If you are using a white or cream ceramic tile for your bathroom, consider using a different color grout like "blue" to give your bathroom a more dramatic look.
• Choose a color for the edge trim and backsplash to contrast with the countertop; then reverse the scheme elsewhere in the room, such as in the shower.
• To make your bathroom floor stand out more, try adding patterns, floor accents or small splashes of color using ceramic custom tile pieces.
• Consider selecting two complementary colors that work with a third neutral background color. For example, create stripes and patterns to run through the vanities, tubs, and showers.
