For most people, the bathroom is a very utilitarian place. You go there to brush your teeth, shave or put on makeup, take a shower or bath, and take care of other sorts of daily business. The room is usually on the small size, in most cases even a bit cramped, and the decor could be described as ‘early dull’. If there is a window, it’s usually frosted so not much light gets in, and the lighting is somehow never quite bright enough to see your reflection in the mirror properly, so you end up missing a spot on the shave and makeup, which you don’t discover until some kind comrade pulls you aside to point it out to you! Not to mention dealing with cold showers on most occasions. Luckily, you have options, and the first one should be to look into hot water installation so your mornings will be much more enjoyable.
The bathroom is almost regarded as a kind of embarrassment in the home, a place no one really enjoys going to and certainly no one would want to spend any time in, and will only do so when needed! This tendency to ignore the bathroom and pretend it’s not actually there can also result in it becoming neglected, with grimy floors, spotty mirrors, and dripping faucets, and it’s time to call for the shower repair in Sydney to come out again, it’s leaking like a sieve! Of course, it doesn’t have to be that way, it is possible to create a new kind of bathroom that is a paragon of elegance and luxury, a room to be proud of, that you can guide house guests to while declaring “Check out our new bathroom! Enjoy yourself!” Here are some ideas to consider-
Sink and Mirrors
The old-style bathroom sink is a pretty sad affair. Replace it with a lovely new two-sided sink, so you and your partner can brush your teeth in tandem! They come in nearly any colour you can think of, so for heaven’s sake don’t choose old-school white porcelain! Install mirrors with adjustable sides so you can see the back of your head for a change. As for the lighting- you know those bright light bulbs surrounding the mirrors they use in movie star makeup rooms? Get those.
The Shower and Bath
In the old days these were often combined to ensure total discomfort- not a very good shower, and a bath that was never big enough so you had to choose knees or chest to have under the nice warm water. It’s true that you will need some space to accomplish what we propose, we recommend doing an add-on or ripping out the hall closet next door to your bathroom, it’s just full of junk anyway! Now, visualise a walk in shower room with a sliding glass door. The floor is made of non-slip tile that looks fantastic, and the shower occupies one entire side of the space so there’s plenty of room to move about in. The bath is built into the wall and is more than spacious enough to seat you and a friend very comfortably! Turn on the built-in jets and you have your own private jacuzzi! Aah…
Your bathroom is now a delightful spa that you will be able to relax and lounge in and never be embarrassed about again! Enjoy!
