Modern bathroom interior

Are you overwhelmed with your bathroom remodel? You want it to be beautiful and extraordinary! With so many different elements in such a small space, everything needs to be perfect. It’s important to be with the time and up to date in 2016. In the LOS ANGELES area, home design is an important aspect of one’s home in even the smallest areas of the house. A Design-Build General Contractor can help you find what is best suitable for your bathroom remodel for 2016. Here are some ideas!

A Smooth Transition

As much as kitchen and bathroom projects are related their style and functionality differ. For this year, we are starting to see more transitional style bathrooms versus a strictly contemporary or modern design. This is perfect because it allows more flexibility in the design aspect. Transitional design combines traditional and contemporary styles together for a look that will last. In your bathroom remodel, stay with clean lines for the cabinetry and your vanity. With transitional style bathroom remodels, it’s best to combine stone material with warm woods in whichever way you can. Don’t forget the color as well. Stick with neutral colors to keep it transitional, as neutral colors will be the best choice for bathroom regardless of the style. It is timeless and soothing, thus will last you for many years and you won’t get tired of looking at it.

A Bathroom for All Ages

This aspect in new home remodels has become very important. It refers to creating a bathroom that is suitable for all ages from youth to seniors and even to people with disabilities. Designers and contractors alike refer to this idea as, “Aging in Place.” There are many things your Design-Build General Contractor can do to achieve a beautiful bathroom that ages in place. In the bathroom, think first about the entry way. Go with a wider doorway to make it more accessible if you ever have a family member with a walker or a wheel chair. With flooring in the bathroom always make sure to go with non-slip flooring as water is sure to be on the floor at some point, so this is the safest option. For the shower, if you are thinking about tile versus a fiberglass shower, be sure to go with small tiles to create more friction from the grout. Another important aspect that should be in mind with the shower; make sure its curbless to allow easier entry and access. It is always best to consult a Design-Build General Contractor and they will give you the best options regarding this issue.

Freestanding Style

Freestanding tubs are becoming very popular in bathrooms for newer home remodels, especially here in LOS ANGELES, where relaxation is key. Not only are they visually pleasing but they give you your own sanctuary, much like that of a spa retreat. Freestanding tubs come with the option of integrated jets and even shower heads. The price for freestanding tubs range depending on the material and style, making them a lovely option for almost any type of budget. A Design-Build General Contractor can help you find a tub best suitable for your space.

Vanities That Float!

Vanities are a big part of the bathroom since you are probably using your vanity more often than any other part of your bathroom. It needs to be functional, with enough storage solutions as we use this as part of our routine to get ready each and every day. In LOS ANGELES, floating vanities are very popular now of days. Most homeowners are getting a bigger sense of spatial awareness which is why we see more and more floating vanities being installed. They don’t take up floor space which allows for more use of your floor. It creates depth in the bathroom which is important when making areas appear bigger. Because floating vanities don’t have any sort of “hard to reach” places, they give you an easier time when trying to clean as well. When adding a floating vanity, consult with your Design-Build General Contractor to make sure all the plumbing is properly designed to fit with your new floating vanity. Your vanity doesn’t just end there. If you already have a floating vanity maybe all that needs to be done is a simple faucet change. You may go with a polished chrome finish to give you that awesome look of transitional design!
