This Park Slope plumber can help your bathroom go from blah to spa. Many people think of the bathroom as a purely utilitarian room. You go in, do what you need to do, and get on with life. However, for many homeowners, their mindset is changing when it comes to bathroom remodeling. They want to transform the bathroom into a sanctuary, a place they can get away and experience a spa-like experience right in their home. There are several easy ways you can upgrade your bathroom to give it this special quality.
Increase vanity space. Not only does a larger vanity (or an additional one) give you more space to spread out when getting ready for your day, but it provides a space to put an aromatherapy candle or a machine that plays some relaxing sounds, such as ocean waves, or soothing rain.
Custom tile-work. Make your bathroom stand out by using your creativity. When tiling the shower, include some accent tiles that provide interest and uniqueness. Choose tiles to create a mosaic backsplash behind the vanity sinks, and tiles that look like wood will give the floors a warm quality.
Radiant heat floors. There is nothing like stepping out of the shower or bath onto a warm floor. Before those tiles are laid, install a radiant heat source in the floor that will make walking in your bare feet a joy, even on the coldest of days.
Shower upgrades. A rainshower head or some massage panels will offer stress relief, and a frameless glass door gives everything a clean, sleek look.
Create a special space. If you have the room, add a unique touch that will make the room special to you. A fireplace, a cushioned bench to spend a quiet moment, or even a small television can make your bathroom special to you.
These days, bathrooms are not just functional. With the right transformation, it can become a retreat to a busy person, and your favorite room in the house. For help with your bathroom renovation, contact Aladdin Plumbing today.
