Unless you have a degree in interior design or a similar field, you may feel overwhelmed with where to begin your bathroom remodel. Not only do you have to choose a new sink, toilet, shower, and bathtub, but you also have to determine a layout that logically accommodates each of these fixtures. And that’s just the beginning. Next, it’s time to select finish materials such as floor and wall tiles, bathroom counter tops and fixtures for lighting and fixtures to operate your plumbing (think faucets, shower heads, etc.). Maybe it’s time to take a step back and a deep relaxing breath and learn where to find some bathroom remodeling pictures to serve as a frame of reference and inspiration.
Sure, you want your bathroom remodel to be unique and reflect your own sense of personal style. It’s possible to arrive at that solution on your own, but most likely, if you take the time to research other successful remodels by looking through books, websites or magazines that feature bathroom remodeling pictures, you be able to stay on schedule and enjoy your dream bathroom so much sooner than you expected.
Start by entering a few basic terms in your search engine, the most straightforward being “bathroom remodeling.” click the Google Images tab and you’ll be directed to a page with image after image that hopefully pertains to the style of remodel you are undertaking. Try different keywords if you’re looking for more modern bathroom designs or if you prefer a traditional look.
If this type of research seems random and vague, visit the website of a reputable design magazine such as Better Homes and Gardens or Architectural Digest, depending on your personal sense of style. If you prefer a more modern bathroom design, consider Dwell magazine. Purchase a few copies and tear out images of bathroom remodels that you like. The goal is to accumulate a “look book” of ideas you’d use in your own bathroom design.
Finally, the library is still a limitless research on just about any topic. Look up books on showers and baths specifically or on modern or traditional homes, depending on your style. Photocopy images you like (just don’t tear them out!). Take these images to your interior designer or shower designer much like you’d take pictures of a celebrity with hair styles you like to your hairdresser. Now you’re a lot closer to understanding what type of bath remodel that you want to undertake.
