Bathroom Remodels for Small Bathrooms

March 1, 2012 in Design Ideas + Tips, Philadelphia remodeling

A bathroom remodel can really change the feel of a home with just a few small adjustments. Even if you have a small bathroom, updating the space can help take your bathroom from a drab and dated space to a sleek and stylish bathroom.

A small bathroom is a great place to make a statement. Making sure the space is cohesive in terms of color palette and materials used, you can really push the limits in terms of color and textures. Often times, homeowners will feel more comfortable experimenting on a small room than a larger room. So now is your chance to mix it up with a great remodel!

If you’re working with a full bath, opt for an updated shower stall with glass enclosures to open up the space and make it feel bigger than it is. Pedestal sinks and wall mounted sinks will also give the illusion of more space by freeing up a bit of the floor that a larger vanity would occupy. If you do want a vanity with storage space, check out some floating vanities that offer a modern look without hogging floor space.

Light fixtures are another way that you can update a small bathroom without spending much money. Size-proportionate sconces and light fixtures should be used so that the lighting doesn’t overwhelm the space. Also be conscious of size when choosing mirrors and other bathroom hardware.

When it comes time to decide what to do with the walls, this is your chance to really push the boundaries and work with bold, warm colors or fun patterns. Play with wallpapers, or opt for a tiled accent wall. Glass mosaic tile on one wall, or a section of the bathroom, will instantly brighten the room.

Use these tips when updating your small bathroom to get the most out of the space. Remember that sticking to scale and playing with colors, materials and textures are all great ways to totally revamp and remodel the room.

Comhar- Institutional Bathroom Renovation

November 2, 2010 in Completed Projects

The goal of this project was to renovate the existing bathroom in the Comhar Institution in order to correct how poorly it had aged and suffered from use over time.  dRemodeling saw the need to perform a total facelift and create a new facility and accomplished that by going through the following steps.

The entire bathroom was gutted right down to the studs and plywood in order to remove all the old finishes and surfaces.  The joists and the studs of the ceiling, floor, and walls were all leveled.  Additionally, we removed all the 100-year old, uneven studs and replaced them with level metal ones.

All electrical wiring, plumbing, and ventilation were completely replaced with new materials.  Ceilings and walls were then covered with moisture and mold-resistant drywall and then were prepped for painting and tiling.

Sink fixtures as well as a new toilet and urinal were then installed, but anything that was reusable was cleaned and salvaged for re-use.  All of the fixtures were then installed and positioned in a manner that enabled disabled individuals to have easier access and mobility when using the bathroom.

Up the Ante with Your Outdated Bathroom Tile

June 9, 2010 in Philadelphia bathroom remodeling

One great bathroom remodeling method that can really add style to a bathroom is choosing the right bathroom tile. Whether you are selling a home or you just moved into an older home, you can update your bathroom floors and give it a more modern look by simply replacing your bathroom tile.

Make a Small Bathroom Appear Larger

If you have a small bathroom, you will want to avoid dark colors because it will make your bathroom appear smaller. Often times, people will choose any color just because it is the color of the moment without thinking about whether it will make a bathroom space appear small or large.  For a small bathroom, we recommend installing light-colored tiles (muted colors and pastels). This will open up a small bathroom space and make it appear larger.

Another design element you may want to consider is selecting a different tile design for your tub or shower stall. Choosing tiles that have a variety of patterns within the same color arrangement can help improve the appearance of a drab-looking bathroom.

Modernize Your Bathroom Floors

If you want to go all the way with updating your bathroom floor, choose glass tiles or heated tiles. Glass tiles will give a bathroom a more relaxed and tranquil feel. If you choose colors in varied patterns, this will give a modern mosaic pattern on your bathroom floor. As far as heated tiles, it will not only give you a more sophisticated look, it is also very energy-efficient. With heated tiles, you utilize less heat than standard heating. 

There are so many wonderful design choices for you to choose from.  It can be difficult to choose the right one for your bathroom. If you are unsure of what tile design to select, you can always consult with your local bathroom remodeling company. The contractors at dRemodeling will help you choose a tile floor that will compliment your overall bathroom design.
