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.

Kitchen and Bath Remodeling Tips

By / Bathroom Remodel, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Kitchen and Bath Remodeling Tips

Looking to give your kitchen or bathroom a facelift?  If you are planning on updating your home, here are a few kitchen and bath remodeling tips to get the best results.

kitchen and bath remodeling tips to make a room appear larger use light walls and reflective surfaces make room appear larger

Light walls and reflective surfaces make room appear larger

Make the Room Feel Larger

We all like the feel of unlimited space when indoors.  Maximize the space in even the smallest of rooms when you put color and light to work for you.

Light Colors.  Make the kitchen or bath feel bigger without adding square footage when you use light colors.  Any room feels bigger with light colors on the walls.  It doesn’t matter whether you use paint, tile or wood; if it’s on the walls make it light.

Light finishes on the cabinets will also make a room feel larger.  Light, bright, and smooth all give the illusion of space that really isn’t there.

Reflective Surfaces.  Strategically place mirrors to add the appearance of space.  Don’t forget that any reflective surface acts like a mirror.  This means high gloss finishes on cabinets, floors, and shower walls, will make a room look bigger.

use LEDs in kitchen and bathroom remodel to save money

LEDs light the way

Go Green with LEDs

Lighting is an important part of any room.  It’s especially important in the kitchen and bathroom.  Whether you are considering recessed can-style lights, under cabinet lights, or interior cabinet lighting you should incorporate LED lighting where possible.

LEDs are small, so they are perfect for tiny spaces.  They also emit very little heat.  This is particularly important for installations inside cabinets.  The use much less energy to produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb.  The cost more initially, but you will recoup your money in savings over the life of the bulb; and LEDs have a long life.  You can expect LEDs to last anywhere from 25,000 to 100,000 hours.  On the low side that means you could leave the light on for 2 years and it still wouldn’t burn out!

Keep in Mind Resale Potential

You may plan to live in your home for many, many years but plans can change.  A change in jobs, marital status or health may require a move.  The more “unique” you make your kitchen and bath remodel, the harder it will be to sell your home.  What appeals to you may not appeal to future potential buyers.  An experienced kitchen and bath remodeling pro knows what unique touches are popular with others and can help you strike just the right balance.

Don’t Do it Yourself

Speaking of using a professional remodeler, make sure you do!  A kitchen or bathroom remodeling project is not the same as remodeling the bedroom or dining room. Plumbing is involved and you also need to think of the practical logistics of using the room.  Use an experienced professional. Pick someone who understands your style and taste.  Make sure they are qualified professionals who are licensed and insured.
