Bathroom Counter Tops Remodel

Getting the Most Out of Your Bathroom Design Project
By Andrew Stratton

In many new homes and in plenty of remodels, the bathrooms are no longer just spaces of functionality but are becoming personal relaxation spas, especially master bathrooms. Analyze the space you have available. For some, a huge, jacuzzi tub is the main feature of their dream decor. For others, beautiful wall-to-wall tile with custom design work is most important.

If you're not sure about the options and style trends available to you, you might do well to visit your local drug store and pick up a home improvement or remodeling magazine and look for ideas. For instance, you can have a linen tower bathroom cabinet positioned in such a way that you can hide a television inside to watch when soaking for exorbitant amounts of time.

It's nice to be able to actually visualize what certain spaces could look like and how certain bathroom cabinetry will work with specific counter tops and other fixtures. Once you have surveyed your options and determined your plan, the best place to start may be to choose the exact bathroom cabinets you want and build the rest of the style around them. The cabinets are often one of the most striking features of the bathroom and certainly they set the tone for the entire room.

There are several types of bathroom cabinetry that you may need to decide on. After you have pinpointed the style and color you want, you can then decide if and where you need other bathroom cabinets like linen towers for storage, built-in hampers and storage units above the toilet.

And then of course, you can narrow down the details and the organization of the design, like built-in dividers inside the drawers, cabinets to easily store and hide your commonly used grooming appliances, and cosmetic slide-out trays.

Choosing Counter Tops

Executive Summary By Steve Galashaw

Counter tops for your kitchen, bathroom or other areas can be made from a wide variety of materials. Your intended use of the counter tops will help in deciding which material to use. Some of the materials available for counter tops include natural and man-made substances. Examples of natural materials could be slate, granite or other stones. Stainless steel will give an antiseptic appearance to kitchen or bathroom counter tops giving confidence to guests that these surfaces are clean. Copper is another metal used for counter tops. Stone composites and other man-made materials are also available for counter tops. Stone composites are made from the ground remains of quarried stone mixed with resin filler. Solid surface counter tops with sink basins as part of them are possible with stone composites.

Man-made materials are often used for solid surface counter tops. Shapes can be formed of man-made materials that stone composites can not achieve. The possibilities are endless for the design of your counter tops. You can achieve what ever effect you desire for your décor through judicious choice of the materials for your counter tops.
