If you're in need of updating your bathroom, here are some more tips:
• Choose a reliable design specialist. Of course, it's hard, but take the time to get estimates, review references, compare costs. • Ask yourself what tasks you want to perform in the bathroom. Do you like steam showers? What about body sprays? A heated floor would be nice. • Browse through magazines and cut out pictures that have the elements you like. Then, show these to your designer. So, if you're looking for a calm retreat where you can relax, say so. • Note the existing architecture and try to stay true to it. You can take the old and let your designer reinterpret it in a new, refreshing way. • Don't settle for annoying little problems. The door that won't close smoothly must be fixed. Move hooks and hangers if they are not in appropriate places. Don't settle for what doesn't work. • Get to know your workers. Only hire people you trust. • Expect them to be late, they almost always are. You may be expected them to take much longer than they said they would. • Be ready for the unexpected. You should have a Plan B in case something goes awry in Plan A. Do your research and plan ahead.
