How To Plan A Great Bathroom Design
The bathroom is one of the most important parts in a house. Guests will probably judge an entire house when they take a look at the bathroom; which is why many people spend hundreds of dollars remodeling and refurbishing its interiors to make their bathroom more appealing and desirable.

There are a large variety of bathroom designs to choose from. And your interior designer or contractor will ask you to make a step by step set of choices. Choose a proper color scheme that would be the basis of your bathroom design theme. Once you’ve chosen the colors, your next step is to decide on proper patterns, decors and styles. Also you should decide whether you will be using paint, wallpapers or tiles. And how would you want your flooring to look like? You can choose between lamination and conventional tiling. There is also the option of exposed floorboards.
It is true that using wood is a conventional style but it can strike well with certain modern bathroom interiors, giving the entire atmosphere an exotic look and feel. However, you should never use normal or mildly treated wood for flooring. They will be damaged due to water exposure. So I would recommend that you use well coated wood protected with lamination. Nevertheless, some people feel the entire idea of having wood is not a hygienic option. For them, designer tiles are the best alternative.
Interior designers are coming up with more and more stylish baths and basins every day. But before you make a decision; be sure to compare your choices with the overall interior of your home.

Another key element that is an important part of your overall bathroom design, are the bathroom cabinets. There are several different varieties of cabinet designs to choose from. It all depends on your taste and personal likes and dislikes. Again, you are left with various choices pertaining to different colors, different materials (wood, plastic or fiber), different designs and different styles. You can either base the entire bathroom design on contemporary themes or make it look rich and royal by keeping things quite traditional.

Spacing is yet another factor that you should consider while remodeling or constructing your bathroom interiors. You should plan the entire bathroom design in such a manner that it augments the spaciousness of the entire area. Some people add too many cabinets and construct massive tubs and basins to enhance the capacity and style of their bathrooms. However, instead of augmenting the entire scene, they make their bathrooms look rather crammed and small. Do not commit such mistakes. The more space your bathroom gives, the more comfortable you will be.

Planning A Contemporary Bathroom Design
Before you start remodeling your bathroom to give it a more contemporary look, make a list of what you want to do and what you can afford to do. If money is no object, then you can make all of your remodeling plans based solely on what you want. You’ll want to get the highest possible quality at the lowest price, of course, but you won’t have to sacrifice anything because you can’t afford it. Make sure you measure your bathroom. Knowing how much room you have to work with will help you choose the right sized cabinets and accessories.

Sometimes taking pictures of your bathroom and carrying them with you when you go shopping will help you visualize what a certain type of cabinet or sink will look like once it’s in place.

As with most contemporary designs, contemporary bathroom designs incorporate sharp, clean lines and geometric shapes, such as oblong shaped bath tubs and sinks or rectangular bath tubs and sinks with rounded edges. If you like the sink and bath tub that you have, you can give your bathroom a more contemporary look by buying a shower curtain with a contemporary design, by replacing the cabinet under your sink with a drawer.
You could also replace your wall cabinets and towel racks with more contemporary looking pieces. Changing the color of the walls to something like electric blue or lime green or gray can give your bathroom a more modern look. Add contemporary accessories, such as the waste paper basket, soap dish and toothbrush holder. Don’t forget about the faucets. Nothing gives a bathroom a more contemporary look than futuristic faucets on the sink and bath tub.

Visit a home improvement store, like Lowe’s or The Home Depot and see if they offer a class on bathroom remodeling. Not only will you learn how to safely and efficiently do your bathroom remodeling, you’ll also be in a place where you can buy the supplies and tools you’ll need to do it.

There are so many different ideas for bathroom remodeling. All you need to know is what you want and what you can afford to create the right contemporary bathroom design for your home.
