With the desire of most homeowners to create an oasis from the stress of the daily grind, the bathroom remodeling industry has focused more attention on creating unique materials for the bathroom/spa retreat. With the dizzying number of styles in bathroom vanities, sinks, vanity tops, and hardware, the idea of renovating your bathroom can seem like a daunting task. While it is true that you are an unlimited combinations that can used to decorate your bathroom, it doesn't have to be an overwhelming undertaking.
Before running out to by items you like, it is important to come up with an overall design. You may have an idea already or beginning from scratch. Either way, the best resource for ideas is through magazines, home improvement shows, and yes, the internet. Often what you will find is that you may have a rough idea in your mind, but it will completely change after seeing some other well designed bathrooms. I have found the internet to be the best resource for inspiration and materials. What you will often find in the stores, is that they are all selling a slightly different version of the same exact product, which doesn't leave much room for creativity. On-line, you will find some of the more custom or unique styles that can often be just as competitively priced as the store versions. Bathroom vanities are the perfect example of an item that you will find a wider variety on-line than you will in the store.
When it comes to items like tile, you will definitely want to consult a tile showroom for examples. While they can be purchased later on-line, the last thing you want to do it pick up a big ticket item like that without being able to see what it would look like next to your other decor.
By doing your due diligence on your design, and your materials as well, you can really cut down your budget and create the bathroom of your dreams.
