Want

By

Have you
ever wondered how to achieve that interior
designer's high-end look without charging up your credit
cards?

Many new
development homes come with large corner
bathtubs that look plain surrounded in white.
Sometimes home owners wait years before
decorating their main bathroom to make the space
reflect their personal choice in design details.
Often, that's because they just don't know where
to begin.

Here are some ways
to get the designer's look in your bathroom
remodeling:
- Add wood molding
around the bathtub
- Upgrade your
bathroom faucets to brass or copper
- Paint the walls
in vibrant colors
- Add tile or stone
backsplash
- Place a
houseplant on the bathtub shelf
- Install a
gorgeous sink instead of the developer's
choice
Get the most from
your bathroom remodeling dollars with
great interior design.
Three
Bathroom Remodeling Tips
1. Start
with Color Psychology.
Think about how
you want the person using the space to
feel.
Creamy yellows
warm up the cold, hard surfaces necessary
for bathrooms.

Children's
bathrooms designed in blue and white bring
calmness and look clean. Powder rooms designed
in dramatic colors make the person feel
important and beautiful. Main bedroom
bathrooms designed in soothing greens
create a Florida spring vacation feeling
while bathrooms designed with reds feel
sensuous.
2. Plan for
emotional support with patterns.
Stripes make you
feel organized and help children feel like
keeping their remodeled bathroom clean.
Patterns based on water like the sea or a
lake add refreshing emotional support. If
you entertain often at night, a powder
room with sophisticated swirls adds to a
party atmosphere.
3. Copy
great interior designers - use textures.
Bathrooms tend to
feel hard and cold because of all the
shiny, cold, and sleek surfaces. Counter
the hardness with plenty of soft fluffy
towels, rugs for the feet, and hand
towels.
Whatever your bathroom
remodeling budget, use good design. Think about
your emotional needs when choosing your design
details and you're sure to make the right
decisions. Interior design psychology ideas will
help you with your bathroom remodeling design.
Joy to your bathroom
remodeling!
