Inexpensive Shower Remodeling Ideas
Of course it will all depend on whether you are changing the design of your bathroom or doing a makeover and using new fixtures to replace old worn ones.
Regardless of the style of renovation you undertake, it is a good idea to first consult a general contractor.
They will be able to tell you whether your current structure is sufficient to support new shower stalls, enclosures or any additional design ideas you may have.
This may cost you a little more than doing the work yourself but it is well worth the investment.
Some shower remodeling jobs do not require large investments.
Implementing a small makeover here and there can be just as effective as a complete renovation.
Shower curtain rods, curtains, shower heads, cabinet knobs and fans are just a few of the makeover ideas that can be done with a minimum investment.
Even new shower doors can make a huge improvement on the looks and decor of your bathroom.
Many people are using folding doors as replacement for sliding doors or etched and frosted glass in place of clear or rain drop doors or buying a new shower door handle.
Lighting is a great way to change the looks and feel of your bathroom.
Your lighting should be flattering with few shadows.
Many people find flush mount lighting works for them while others like the ambience that wall lights provide.
Don't neglect to consider lighting close to the shower either.
This is one of the most forgotten areas of the bathroom.
Your lighting can be placed on a dimmer switch to increase or decrease the lighting needed depending on your needs at the time.
Lighting can be very inexpensive or very high dollar depending on your likes and dislikes.
Wall and floor tiles make a great investment into your home.
Ceramic tile is the most popular tile for the bathroom and shower remodeling can call for new tiles to be laid.
Even if you already have ceramic tile, some may be damaged or discolored.
You may also want to replace the grout around the tiles.
Mosaic tiles are also popular for shower remodeling.
Most grout becomes discolored and molded after a few years and should be replaced.
Maybe your tiles simply need minor repair work.
You can remove only the tiles damaged and use new ones for a replacement.
No matter what condition your bathroom is in, shower remodeling can give it a face lift.
Installing shower stalls, fans, curtain rods and curtains, a new door handle, faucet knobs and shower heads can make all the difference in the world.
Shower enclosures are a popular way to improve the looks of your bathroom as well as fans to help keep your bathroom cool or perhaps your bathroom only needs a repair or two to improve its functionality.
Many of these shower remodeling ideas are an investment in you home and some can even increase its value so don't be afraid to invest a little.
