Designing Bathroom on a Budget

Considering bathroom as a traditional and neglected piece of your home, because of its expensive costs, becomes a past. Here are few tips to remodel the look of bathroom’s tiles, walls, hardware fixtures, ceiling, and lighting according to your budget. Only some creativity and well-considered plans would turn your bath to a brand-new room.
The first place to look at in designing bathroom on a budget is bathroom’s tiles. You could fix the broken and cracked tiles using grout. But if you have a wooden floor, varnish may be the best solution to have a brand-new floor.It would be better if you are able to replace the linoleum with vinyl. Sometimes, changing the color of the floor gives a new life to the whole place.
Mostly, repainting the walls doesn’t need much more effort. To paint a bathroom on a budget, you just need to clean the wall from any mildew, dump, or flacked pieces, sand it, and begin your work. Try to avoid bathroom’s hard fixtures, door, and window while painting. Choosing the color is according your taste, yet bright colors are recommended. You could use frosted-glass effect spray paint to give the place a fantastic look. To give your bathroom this shape while saving money, ask for a painter’s help to get trade prices.
On designing bathroom on a budget, you may need to change some hardware fixtures. The new fixtures don’t need to be brand-new. Flea markets or online auctions have a lot of modern pieces. The effect of this change is undeniable. Bathroom’s cabinet and medicine cabinet will look better if they are painted and their handles are changed. Consult a bath planner to design the curves to save a space and give a beautiful look to the place. He would give you some useful advices to arrange your bath properly. Yet you have to know that the carpet on the floor becomes an old fashion. As for the plumbing kits, you may buy them according to your taste. Co-ordination between colors and arranging these fixtures will make your bathroom practical and beautiful at the same time.
Having kids at home would give you a great chance to use some artwork to design bathroom on a budget. In such case, you can change your classic arrangement to your hardware fixtures. That’s because the kids will need to use the towel, basin, and mouthwash. Here you could use an old dresser for example to arrange children’s stuff and give a luxurious look to your bathroom. Some tender pictures would make your children happy.
Lightning will give the final touch to your bathroom designing. The controllable switch light will create a fancy environment in your bathroom. A decent lighting would be made for shaving, and ambient lighting will illuminate very well.

Feng Shui Tips for Your Bedroom

To get a feeling of personal security and confidence in your bedroom, then you should place your bed as far away as possible from the front door. For a comfortable sleeping, sleep on the bed with a solid wall behind your head and avoid placing your bed under a beam in the ceiling as beams will put pressure on your chest, head and body.
To make your bedroom practical yet inviting, then you should place a low night stand or a low table to the right of the bed and shelves or tall dressers to the left of the bed. If you want to motivate your children to study, place the study table in such a position that when your child sits down to read or write, his back faces a wall.
If you have a small bedroom, hang a mirror on one wall of your bedroom as mirror will reflect lights and will make your small bedroom look larger. But make sure, the mirror is placed in a way so that you can see the reflection of the front door in it.
If you want to store your jewelry, then you need to buy miniature stackable drawers and for a quick access, label the drawers and store all your jewelry neatly away. If you want to hang your preferable pieces, then using necklace hangers is that all you need.
Storing your shoes in a neat way is a challenge but you can do it by organizing your shoes into shoe boxes and keep smart shoes that you don’t use too often at the bottom and the ones you wear more often at the top. You can add hooks to your bedroom door to hang your coats.
Have a glance at the images beneath to get more ideas about 7 Feng shui tips for your bedroom.

50 Modern Bathrooms Design

We are just awestruck by this Italian company Cerasa‘s bathroom collection. Brought to our attention by style spotter Trendir, these designs ooze a sort of vitality we rarely see of such spaces. With in-floor bathtubs and luxury furniture the atmosphere they bring about is akin to those found in spas. Obviously most of the concepts do require a lot of space and we suspect any of these would find room in a typical apartment setting. But if you are the kind of person who is not too shy to treat yourself to some niceties (plus have space to play around with), you might want to give this a look.

Also we wanted to put in a tip for furniture designers who would like to have their work featured here. If you would like to know the secret of having your entire catalog featured in a design blog for free, you might want to take a cue from Cerasa’s website. The site is pretty much what design bloggers like us look for – no fancy flash animations, clean & sensible navigation and most importantly a gallery of high resolution images of professionally photographed product realizations. How often furniture makers fail us in this respect, we have lost count.
