Update Your Bathroom with Style |

|
(ARA) – More bathrooms today are being transformed
into personal retreats where homeowners can unwind and surround themselves
with luxurious amenities and spa-like treatments. But, with limited spaces and
limited budgets, not everyone can create the bathroom of their dreams. The
good news is that homeowners can take simple steps to give their existing
bathrooms a sophisticated makeover without paying the price of luxury. Quick

First, determine the type of faucet you’re replacing
to make sure you purchase the same configuration to fit in the existing sink or
counter holes. Most bathroom faucets are sold in standard four-inch or
eight-inch center spread configurations, referring to the distance between the
holes on your sink. The four-inch center spread is the most common for
bathrooms, and it usually comes in one-handle or two-handle designs. About the

hundreds of faucet finishes and designs, the next step is choosing a style that
complements existing cabinetry details, the room’s current color palette and the
other hardware. Brushed metal finishes are currently very popular and mix well
with wood and stone. When it comes to faucet designs, many manufacturers, such
as JADO, offer different styles and forms from contemporary to classic and
widespread to single lever. JADO’s IQ series by architect Matteo Thun, for
example, offers a modern option with geometric, sleek lines, while the company’s
Ornate series is neoclassical in style for a traditional bath, and the Hatteras
collection features banded details that complement most kinds of décor. 
To
save floor space -- and give the illusion of creating space in the room --
Porcher’s Kyomi series offers a wall-hung side cabinet that seems to float
compactly on the wall. The cabinet comes with either glass doors or wood doors,
depending on whether you want to display or hide items. The company’s Tetsu
collection features traditional cabinet and shelving space savers, but also a
relaxing chair with built-in storage areas and a removable cushion that flips
over to become a tray for spa treatments, herbal tea or a glass of wine.
Depending on the available space in your bathroom, you can also consider adding
an antique piece of furniture to double as an accent piece for storage. No
matter what storage option you choose, by putting away toiletries and clutter,
your bathroom will get an instant -- and inexpensive -- makeover.
