Bathroom remodeling ideas for your dream bathroom:

• If your bathtub or tub/shower combination still works, but you just do not like the color, resurface it. You can also add new doors to create an “essence” of brand new.
• Instead of replacing perfectly functional cabinets, sand down and refurbish the finish it with a new stain color. Add new hardware and a new vanity top to spice up the bathroom.
• Toilets are something to consider replacing, as the old ones are well known water guzzlers. While it may take a little more out of your initial budget, it will save you even more in the long run. Be sure to check the water efficiency level before you make that purchase.
• Redoing your floors may not be as expensive as you may think. There are many different types of flooring available at a variety of prices. Make sure it is slip resistant even while wet. Be sure the flooring you choose can withstand the water and steam. Why not go Green with Bamboo Flooring.

Discover a theme for your bathroom

Now that you have determined what actually “needs” to be remodeled, it is time to determine what theme you would like for your bathroom. A theme will give your room a particular style and personality that you have created. It allows you to expand on details based on a particular idea.

Here are some common bathroom remodel themes for your bathroom:

• Asian theme involves small palms and Asian lettering and graphics, such as Geishas. Bamboo and wood that comes from palms is a great addition. Add mosaic type glass or etched glass with natural scenes about Asia. This theme tends to be welcoming and relaxing.
• Rainforest theme includes bamboo flooring and bamboo wall covering. Add trimmings of wood and grains into the room. There are window blinds, shower curtains, towels and many other bathroom remodel accessories that have tropical prints, such as bright birds, trees and plants that can be found in the tropical rainforests.
• Under the Sea theme has been around for some time. It reflects scenes from under the sea. Incorporate blues and greens into the room. There are many bathroom accessories available for this theme.
• Zen theme is more of an elegant look. The focus of this theme is on balance and nature. This is the type of bathroom where you will want to get away from the stresses of life, where you can feel relaxed and calm. Use neutral and calming colors. Use candles and wicker baskets. Install a bamboo towel rack and toilet paper holders. Use scented satchels around the bathtub, as well as tropical plants. Use a water resistant CD player that plays soothing sounds of nature.

  Great ideas. I was actually thinking of doing it, just don't know where to start. I might as well put a bathroom ceiling heater to make it more lavish.
