Bathroom Renovation Company Gives Tips for an Inviting Guest Bath

By / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement / Comments Off on Bathroom Renovation Company Gives Tips for an Inviting Guest Bath

The holiday season is upon us.  If you had guests over the Thanksgiving holiday, did you make them feel welcome in every room of your home?  Inspired Remodels, the Orange County bathroom renovation company that designs and builds master bathrooms, guest bathrooms, and spa bathrooms has some tips on how you can make holiday guests feel at home in the bathroom.

Start with a Clean Slate

Start out with a squeaky clean slate.  Even if a bathroom doesn’t get used often, it does get dirty.  Dust collects on fixtures and on rugs and towels.  Make sure the bathroom is freshly scrubbed and scoured before your guest arrives.  Even if you don’t have the time or inclination to do the scrubbing yourself, hire a service to clean the bathroom.  Many cleaning services will perform one-time cleaning services.  If you are busy, this is a great task to outsource and Groupons are often available for cleaning services.

If you do the cleaning yourself, be sure to clean behind the toilet, where dust collects and replace linens.  Evaluate the shower curtain liner.  If it looks dirty or dingy, many vinyl liners can be cleaned in the washer with a bleach solution to remove mold and mildew.

Remove all personal items and store them out-of-sight.

Set Out Deluxe Linens

Invest in a set of luxury bath linens.  This is a splurge that will pay off for years to come.  High thread count, thick bath linens will make your guests think your home has a spa feel every day of the week.  You don’t need to tell them otherwise.

Two-ply towels are more absorbent than one-ply towels.  Don’t use fabric softener on your towels. Fabric softener leaves a coating that reduces the absorbency of the towel.  For fresh smelling, soft bath linens, use a fabric softener sheet in the dryer instead.

Think of Everything

These days, travel by air means leaving behind razors, tweezers, and full size toiletries.  Stock up your guest bath with everything your guest may have left behind or need during the stay.  They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.  Items to stock include:

  • toothbrushes
  • mouthwash
  • hairbrushes
  • razors
  • tweezers
  • shampoo
  • conditioner
  • body lotion
  • cotton balls
  • cotton swabs
  • ibuprofen
  • antacid
  • multi-symptom cold medicine
  • feminine hygiene products

Your guest will appreciate your thoughtfulness and be happy to skip an emergency trip to the store

Spa Experience on Dollar Budget

Stocking your guest bathroom doesn’t have to cost a fortune.  The dollar stores are filled with loofa sponges, bath salts, perfumed lotions, body brushes, and other spa-like bathroom supplies.

Set a basket with spa supplies on the edge of the tub to encourage your guests to soak travel stress away.

Repair and Replace

If you have been putting off replacing worn or leaking faucets or shower heads, this is a great time to make those repairs.  Some leaky faucets just need a new washer.  Here’s how to make this simple faucet repair.  Shower heads can be replaced in just a few minutes.  Leaks waste water and money.  Leaks also add to hard water deposits.  If your toilet leaks, check the fill valve and the flush valve.  These parts are also easily replaced.

Leaks waste water and money. Stop leaks.

Bathroom Renovation

It’s too late to renovate before your holiday guests arrive.  But it isn’t too late to start planning for a bathroom renovation.  You will be ready to start the new year with a new look for your guest bathroom.

Inspired Remodels is the bathroom renovation company that will work with you to create a guest bath to wow even the most finicky guest.

Bathroom Contractor Talks Bathroom Storage

By / Bathroom Remodel, custom cabinets / Comments Off on Bathroom Contractor Talks Bathroom Storage

Storage is a big deal when designing a kitchen.  Many homeowners poor over catalogs and scour the net looking for ways to maximize storage in the kitchen.  But when it comes to bathrooms, they don’t give storage much thought.  Well the design and build experts at Inspired Remodels think your bathroom design should look beautiful and function even better than it looks.  That’s why they have so many ways to provide storage in the bathroom.

Cabinets or Vanities for Storage?

Remodeling means learning the design and build lingo.  For instance, do you know the difference between a bathroom cabinet and a bathroom vanity?  Well remember that all vanities are cabinets but not all cabinets are vanities.  Confused?

  Cabinet or Vanity? Yes it is!

Vanities are a cabinets topped with a sink.  So, if it has a sink on top; it’s a vanity.  If there is no sink on top; it is a cabinet.  Vanities and cabinets perform several functions.  They hide the plumbing and provide storage.  In the case of a vanity, it also provides a base for the countertop and sink.

Freestanding or Wall Mount Vanity?

Freestanding vanities or cabinets are both very popular.  These vanities can look like furniture or have the traditional look of kitchen-style cabinets.  They go to the floor on all sides, but they may have toe kickouts or may be on furniture-style legs.  Freestanding vanities give you much mores storage space, but can make  a small bathroom look even smaller.

Wall mount vanities do not go all the way to the floor.  As the name implies, they are mounted directly to the wall.  They require more flooring material, because the floor under the vanity is finished, but the added expanse of flooring tricks the eye into thinking the room is larger than it is.  These style vanities give a modern look to a room, but the trade-off comes with lost storage.

Drawers Doors and Niches

When designing for your bathroom remodel, it’s important to take into consideration the items you want to store in the bathroom.  Talk to your bathroom contractor about your needs for storing towels, toiletries, personal care appliances, and if your bathroom should also have storage for cleaning supplies.

Depending on what you need to store, they can make a recommendation on the correct configuration of cabinets with interior shelves and doors and cabinets with drawers.  For many items, storage in a deep drawer is not practical.  Bath towels and toilet paper for example aren’t well suited for storage in drawers.  Bath salts, cotton balls, feminine hygiene products, and many more items are better suited for drawers.

Inspired Remodels believes that with a little forward thinking, function can be beautiful.  For example, in this bathroom, the makeup mirror was attached to the wall negating the need for storage.

In addition, the mirrors are on hinged and hide additional storage.

This shower stool not only provides a safe, stable place to sit and shower, it doubles as storage of personal care products as well.

Showers can include niches for storage as well.  Bath soap, shampoo, conditioner can all be kept at the tip of your fingers.
