For some a bathroom is a private sanctuary where one can get away from it all. To accentuate that experience or goal, a bathroom remodeling project may be a great home improvement project to consider. Listed below are a number of hot bathroom ideas and trends to consider when developing your unique bathroom design.
Custom Ceramic Tile Showers The installation of a custom ceramic shower is a great bathroom idea if you are planning a bathroom remodeling project. Custom ceramic tile showers add a touch of elegance to a bathroom that is hard to match. |
Because of the fact that they are custom, there are numerous options you can consider when developing your unique customer shower design. Options include the shape and size of the ceramic tile shower, types of ceramic tiles, ceramic tile installation patterns, shower doors, and the number and location of shower heads. You may also want to include items such as built-in seats and steam units. If you do consider installing a custom ceramic tile shower, learn more about shower pan membrane liner installations, as they play an important role in the construction of your custom shower.
| Classic Look Clawfoot Tubs
The incorporation of a large clawfoot bathroom tub into your bathroom design is an excellent bathroom idea. Classic claw bathroom tubs of the past have been making a comeback in recent years. Besides providing a beautiful and elegant antique look, they are extremely functional. Jet Powered Spa Tubs If you like to relax in the tub and alleviate muscle strain, then jet powered spa tubs are another great bathroom idea. |

These types of tubs are available with multiple heads to give you an invigorating and relaxing bath simultaneously.
Ceramic Tile Floors or Wood Floors
A ceramic tile floor is the perfect bathroom idea in a new bathroom design. Ceramic tile floors can be heated to make your experience comforting on those cold winter mornings. Again, there are a multitude of ceramic tile styles, shapes and sizes to choose from.
Wood floors are also an alternative that can really transform a bathroom.
| No matter what your bathroom flooring choice is, also include in your bathroom design the use of area rugs. Besides serving a functional purpose, area rugs can provide a look of warmth and charm to your bathroom.
Pedestal Sinks The use of a Pedestal sink in a new bathroom design is another excellent bathroom idea. They work particularly well in smaller bathrooms and can really make a bathroom look elegant. Wall and Window Treatment Coverings Wall coverings could include fabrics and/or paint. Muted natural paint colors can help to give a bathroom a warm feel and work well in balancing out a ceramic tile floor and/or ceramic tile shower. |
 |
Window treatment coverings are endless for bathrooms. Besides a multitude of curtain offerings, there are shutters and shades that are also great bathroom ideas to consider.
| Bathroom Design and Lighting
Bathrooms should be designed to provide both bright and muted lighting, and should be designed such that it can be easily controlled. You may even want to include dimmer controlled switches in your bathroom lighting design. Bathroom lighting fixtures should be selected to provide both a warm and elegance feeling. It is also important to include proper lighting above or near the shower and tub areas. Frequently this is forgotten about until you take your first shower and notice that you are doing it in the dark. |

With these few bathroom ideas you can transform your bathroom into the private oasis you are looking for.
