ABC’s of Fine Design

I found this interesting wastebasket from Snowtone today and had to share it. Apparently you can cover it with a magazine to hide the contents or just have a good place to store your bathroom and bedroom reading. I think it would be very useful for anyone with limited space. Of course you would not be able to over fill the can with junk though

Everyone says that bathrooms and kitchens sell home, that is the main reason people redo their bathroom. My theory is why wait till you sell, do it now so you can enjoy it!

There are many ways to get this done, you can do it yourself if your handy by going to your local home improvement store or you can check out a show room like directbuy where they will help you get started, install it and grantee there work. These are the cheaper way to do these things, you of course can always hire an interior designer to do these things for you, but you will be paying for them.

If you decide to do it yourself. You need to keep a few things in mind. One is people now like big master baths. So if you can keep it big and make sure to let a lot of light in. Invest in a large tub and separate shower if possible. Two sinks are a must and a large well lit mirror should be over them. You can also do two well lit mirrors.

If you want to personalize your bath, you need to stick to the accessories. When you do sell your home, you want to be able to do it without making big changes. Yes you should always think of what will sell the home, because it will be sold someday, it may not be you selling it, but don’t you want your children to get the most they can out of it?

Remember when it comes to bathrooms, think light clean and stylish.

When designing a bathroom you don’t always have the option of getting both a tub and a separate shower. Sometimes you have to have both in one and then you get to go on the fun trip to find a shower curtain and other accessories to go with it.

I recommend fabric shower curtains because they look better and last longer then plastic, of course you can and should put a clear plastic lining behind it. This will help to protect the fabric and make it last longer.

If your looking to make a statement in your bathroom use something like a brown shower curtain and accessories to make them stand out. Use a cream or turquoise color on the wall and watch your bathroom go from boring to stylish. Changing your accessories is a simple, but affordable way to change a room and make it your own.

One way to upgrade your home is to update the fixtures, this includes lighting, cabinet handles and the faucets in your bathroom and kitchen. This is a cheep way to update your home and really does have a great impact on it. If you have an old plastic faucet, change it out for a new metal one as they have a look that will work for years.

Another way to upgrade your home is to change out other aspects of your kitchen or bath. Bathrooms are a huge selling point of a home, If you have a master bath it could sell your home, so you want to make it look as good as possible. One way is to check out Taps4less.com, they are a website located in the UK that sells some wonderful things for your home and bath. They have a great selection of Bathroom fixtures such as bathtubs, saunas, showers and even the wonderful heated towel rack. Whats better then getting out of a hot shower and into a warm towel?

Also depending on your area and the type of person you are hoping to sell to, a hot tub is also a great way to up the value of your home. Many people see those and think “Now I don’t have to buy one” Of course sometimes this is not always the case, so if you are looking to sell check with a local Realtor as to how many homes have sold with hot tubs in your area.
