Remodeling a bathroom would require a lot of skilled workers. You would need a tiler, a plumber, a floor installer, an electrician, a painter and a cabinet installer to do a complete makeover of your bathroom. However, if you are one handy Mandy and has the talent to do all the work, lucky you!

How you will transform the bathroom depends on your “view” of a bathroom. If you see the bathroom as strictly a space for taking a bath and other hygienic functions then a few changes like new modern faucets or the installation of bathroom vanity cabinets is fine. But if you are willing to go to great lengths so that you could build your dream bathroom, then there is a myriad of bathroom designs and styles that you can choose from.

What is great about bathroom remodeling is the fact that you can choose whatever style you want even if it’s in contrast with the rest of the house. It’s your bathroom after all.

The three bathroom fixtures that you have to consider first are the toilet (water closet), bathtub and lavatory or sink. Generally there would be no need for you to relocate these fixtures if your plan is to just replace the old fixtures with new ones. However, if you have re-designed the locations of each fixture to accommodate a shower enclosure and other bathroom furniture then the services of a plumber is called for. Take actual measurements of the fixtures that you plan on installing to know if they will fit the allotted space.

It is best to get the services of professionals if your knowledge of plumbing and electrical wiring is minimal. You would not want a clogged toilet or get electrocuted would you?

Contemporary bathroom designs are more popular than ever. People love the clean and clear lines of contemporary designs. Even contemporary sink faucets have those distinctive straight lines. High-technology has reached the bathroom as you can remotely flush the toilet while you use your “Amazon rainforest” showerhead. If you dream of an ultra modern bathroom, then opt for a contemporary design. Mix wood, granite, metal and glass for a contemporary ambiance.

Other popular styles are country or arts and crafts and traditional design. Country style will always be popular. The blues, whites and off-whites of country style would be suitable for a bedroom in the same genre. Hang baskets with plants on ceiling. Nail wooden pegs on the wall for bathrobes and towels. Make use of different wicker baskets from clothes hamper to storage for toiletries and towels. There are bathroom sinks, bathroom vanities and bathroom cabinets that fall under this category. You can opt for a claw-foot tub, pedestal sink and vintage sink faucets.

Choose wallpaper with small flower prints for your traditional bathroom. The essence of this bath is old world splendor. Accents such as brass towel rings, vintage bathroom vanities and gilded mirror frames are perfect additions. If you have vintage collectible like hand mirrors and antiques hair brushes and other knickknacks, display them on the vanity table.
