Some Fundamental Bathroom Renovation Tips
The Home Renovations section of About.com has an article outline eleven very basic but fundamentally sound tips for a bathroom renovation. To name a handful: consider mirrors a design element and add a second one in addition to the primary; position the toilet 90 degrees to the door or at least several feet away from it, rather than directly facing the door; install a beadboard for an antique look but also to protect the walls from water splashes; create more places to hang things by installing hooks, therefore freeing up counter space; if space permits, put in a decorative freestanding piece such as a decorative chair, and possibly recess other pieces like the clothes hamper; get a light dimmer to create a soft feeling when you're in the mood for a relaxing bath; and try to use neutal colors like white or cream ooon walls and key fixtures, so that the bathroom looks larger and is not so quickly outdated from a design perspective.
