Painting Your Bathroom
Written by myundu on September 3, 2010 – 1:11 am -The bathroom is the most used room in the house and yet most people tend to forget to decorate it. You should be able to at least try a little effort and time to make your bathroom special. You can definitely create a bathroom that says something about your style.
When choosing colors, a multi-color design would probably be the best choice in terms of painting your bathroom. You can use light colored paint on your walls and paint the vanity with a color that matches it. You can buy a shower curtain that has lots of blended colors to match your bathroom color scheme.
Make sure that the paint you will choose would stand from hot moisture that most bathrooms have. You can apply semi gloss or gloss finish. If it is possible, you can use primary color for the base, reducing the mildew and mold building on your walls.

Lighting Fixtures For Your Bathroom
Written by myundu on August 28, 2010 – 4:54 am -Lighting is also very important in your bathroom. For this reason, you can find several ways to incorporate proper lighting to your bathroom. But remember, there are specific tasks for each lighting fixture you install for your bathroom. It may be a lighting for your makeup, manicure or shaving.
For most bathrooms, the lighting is generally designed overhead to the ceiling and shines down. There are also some bathrooms which have lighting around the sink for people who often put makeup on.
You can add some proper lighting around the sink by placing a large mirror on one side and place the lighting above the mirror. This is a simple lighting that can do during the morning when you get up for work or school.
If you have a large bathroom, you can place a make-up table in your bathroom. Recessed lighting is very well suggested for make-up tables, which gives you enough lighting while you are applying some make-up on.

Easy Ways to Give Your Bathroom a Brand New Look
Written by mandy on April 8, 2010 – 8:56 am -Do you think your bathroom looks better when the lights are off? Do you hesitate to show anyone your bathroom because you are ashamed of how it looks? Do you feel overwhelmed at the thought that your bathroom needs a complete makeover but you do not have the time or money to spare?
Bathroom remodeling does not have to be a daunting endeavor. Simple updates and small changes can have a big impact and can be done a little at a time. They don’t cost a lot either.
Replace the Faucet
The faucet is the first thing to catch the eye when you enter a bathroom; updating it first on your bathroom remodeling agenda. Changing a faucet is independent of any other bathroom renovation you need to undertake so there’s no need to wait to build up your savings. If your faucet looks like it’s from a long-gone era, change it right away. With plenty to choose in a variety of styles, finishes and price ranges, you are sure to find one that meets your requirements.
Countertop sinks and pedestal sinks are easy to replace and can instantly freshen up the look of your bathroom. You may want to consider getting a new sink if you have one that is easily replaceable.
Change the Lighting
Your choice of lighting makes a big difference to the way your bathroom looks. Lights that are too bright can make the bathroom look harsh and uninviting whereas too dim lights make the bathroom look dark and dingy. Installing adjustable lighting and side sconces gives the bathroom a refreshing new look and they are practical too. You can turn them up in the mornings when you need to get ready for the work-day whereas in the evening they could be turned down for softer illumination whilst you are indulging in a soothing and relaxing soak in the tub.
Don’t forget to install an overhead light of adequate wattage above the mirror for putting on make-up and for shaving.
Get a new Showerhead
Showerheads are now available in innovative new styles. You can choose from hand held showers, adjustable shower heads and even invigorating massaging shower heads. If there’s one thing you should splurge on, it’s the showerhead. Go ahead and get the best one you can afford; you deserve it. There’s nothing like a custom shower to wash away the stress of the day.
Update the Accessories
New hardware and other assorted bathroom accessories are a quick and affordable way to give your bathroom an immediate facelift. A unique soap dish and colorful toothpaste and toothbrush holders can add instant appeal. Towel rings, drawer handles and other hardware are now available in beautiful brushed nickel, chrome and bronze finishes that make a bathroom look elegant and sophisticated. Colorful towels add practical beauty to your bathroom.
Don’t let your vanity shelves be used exclusively for toiletries. Placing a small bunch of fresh or even artificial flowers can break the monotony having just toiletry items. Don’t spoil the whole effect by using an old drab shower curtain. Replace it with a beautifully designed shower curtain in a color that goes with the rest of the décor.
Considering the bathroom is one of the most used of all rooms in the house, it’s worth giving it a brand new look. Moreover, if you dabble in DIY, you should be able to do all these projects by yourself. You don’t need to hire a professional contractor to do any of the above.

Eco and Stylish
Written by admin on February 27, 2010 – 3:42 pm -
Developed by the Roca Innovation Lab and designed
by Gabriele and Oscar Buratti.
Eco-friendly bathroom fixtures are becoming more and more common. But for those with a strong design focus many are still designed solely for function and forget about form.
Thus the conception of the W+W, this sink and toilet combination comes from the Spanish brand Roca. The brief was to combine compact style with green-minded thinking.
Not only is the sink and toilet attached but they are integrated internally. So that wastewater from the sink is used to fill the toilet’s cistern. This can result in a 25 percent water saving.
Worried about germs – don’t be. A built in automatic cleaning system stops those bad odors and bacteria growing, and a specially designed tap controls the water’s flow and temperature to ensure maximum energy savings.
