You may be surprised at just how much time you spend in the bathroom. Anyway, who sits down to actually calculate how much time we spend on the porcelain crown? Well apparently there are some really weird researchers out their who send out surveys to thousands of people to find out these kinds of things.
So here’s just a tidbit of what they found. We spend about 25 minutes each week taking a bath or standing in the shower. We spend another 18 minutes brushing our teeth and drying ourselves off. We spend about 45 minutes a week going to the toilet and sometimes we go to the bathroom just to think. If you’re going to spend so much time in there why not spruce it up by a doing a small bathroom remodeling makeover.
There’s a couple of things you can to make your bathroom remodel a success. First, to get the creative juices going go online that shows pictures of bathroom remodeling ideas. Many times people are astounded when they discover what they can do with such a small space. The pictures will help you decide on a color, design and layout.
As you’re looking through the pictures ask yourself the following questions:
Is There Anything I Can Install To Improve My Bathroom Experience?
Working with what you’ve already have is the best place to start. You could change your faucets or shower heads. If you already have a shower that you like why not install a heater. Maybe you could change the shower curtains, window curtains or add additional shelving or towel racks. Changing the lighting is also a simple change you could make by simply switching to fluorescent. This small change will make your bathroom feel cooler and look cleaner.
Will I Need The Help Of A Professional Contractor Or Can I Do This Alone?
Some remodeling is outside the expertise of a homeowner and requires the talents and skills of a good contractor. Once you have an idea of what you want your bathroom remodel to resemble you can begin to interview contractors or handymen. Make it clear to them the scope of work you need done, the time frame in which you’d like it completed and what you’ve budgeted for the job. If you choose to tackle the job yourself there are some great bathroom remodeling books under $20 with step by step instructions at your local bookstore.
Go For It!
Don’t let all that time you spend in the bathroom be wasted in a dull and drab room. When you get your bathroom spruced up, it will no longer be just a room to wash and relieve yourself.
