A chance to start anew, to rebrand or refresh one’s self is a desire that can also manifest in your personal spaces
at home...
One of the more common places people will look to "start fresh" is with a home bath remodel. This is usually a personal space
were one can find peace even in the goings on of a generally bustling household. The only room in the house where the locked
door signifies this is MY time.
Not sure where to start? Don't worry! From master bathroom remodels to small bathroom remodels, Republic's Collection has you
covered, even for bathroom remodels on a budget. Since everyone's personal bathroom space can be somewhat unique, there are an
abundance of options to choose. So let's check out some great ideas to help kickstart your own bathroom remodel.
The small bathroom remodel
In the house, this bath is usually the forgotten one. Typically sacrificed to the kids in the household and hastily cleaned up in
moments of panic before guests come to spend a night. For some however, and especially in New England, the small bath is the
ONLY bath. So how do you make this small space feel more homey? Here are some ideas for inspiration.
Install a Wall Hung Toilet
One of the best ways to maximize your space and give it a clean look is to install a wall hung toilet.
Pictured above is the Aquia® Wall-Hung Dual-Flush Toilet. This toilet has an in-wall carrier that fits in between normal
2x4 studding allowing the toilet to be set back as far into the room as possible. Measuring at roughly 21" front to back
and being mounted at an ADA compliant height, this dual action toilet is perfect for any small bathroom remodel job.
Be Creative to Maximize Storage Space
A creative way to maximize your small space in a remodel is the use of towel bars and shelves.
This allows things like towels, cloths, toilet paper and other toiletries plenty of space where space comes at a premium.
The DXV Oakhill 24" bathroom sink with console is a striking balance between utility and beauty
adding farmhouse charm to your bathroom. Designed for a widespread faucet, this sink
delivers modern country flair that complements a number of faucets. This console has built in towel bars along
its leg system and is perfect to "get more" out of you small bath.
The master bathroom remodel
This is the bath where, hopefully, you are able to "stretch your wings", where you can shut the world off and if for only
a moment, have some peace. Today’s market allows you to essentially recreate the "Spa" experience right in your own home. Luxurious
soaking tubs and theraputic air tubs for soar muscles and joints are great ideas for a master bathroom. You can even turn your shower
into your own personal sauna, or your toilet into a self cleaning fully automated throne fit for the king or queen of the future.
Where there's a will, a way and a dream, it can be created for you!
The Soaker
This item is the pinnacle for stlye in today’s bathroom. The freestanding soaking tub is typically (in size alone) the most
dominant item someone could put into their bath.
Take the Toulouse soaking tub by Victoria & Albert for example. The Toulouse is a deep, double ended free standing bateau
tub that makes a luxurious centerpiece for both traditional and contemporary bathrooms.. This 72x32 true soaking tub
is sure to be the envy of all those who see it. The transitional style of this tub allows it to flow nicely with any hardware or
faucet choice and blend with any décor.
A Home Spa
Do you love the steam room and your local gym or treament center? Well, Mr. Steam’s iTempo and iSteam3 packages
are just for you. This takes all those benefits of the big saunaus and downsizes it to fit your home.
With measuring guides that take into consideration not only the height, width and length of the space, but what the materials
of the walls and celings themselves are made of. With a working app for both the Android and iPhone, you can start your steam
shower from anywhere in your house. They also have packages that incorporate Chroma(light) and Aroma therapies into your steam
shower.
Remodeling on a budget?
Just because you're on a budget doesn't mean that you can't live the life of luxury in your bathroom. There are many options available
that will help you stay inside your budget and bring that luxurious feel to your space.
Upgrade your shower with a 2-in-1 shower system
Having a dual function shower for some can be considered a luxury. Most grew up with a standard tub and shower set up with a single function
shower head that had enough force behind it to power wash the back deck. Today however, more and more people are realizing the benefit to a
personal hand shower.
The Delta In2ition 2-in-1 shower head features a detachable hand shower which can be used separately from or simultaneously
with the shower head. This integrated dual-functionality gives you maximum
flexibility without sacrificing warmth, as you can choose to have water streaming from the shower head only, the hand shower
only or both the shower head and hand shower at once.
Try a Retro-fit Shower System
The quick and simple solution for upgrading any standard tub/shower installation into a "shower experience," introducing
the GROHE Retro-Fit Shower System. With the GROHE Retro-Fit, you will enjoy both a high performance GROHE DreamSpray shower
head and the convenience of a height-adjustable GROHE hand shower.
Ideal for retrofit or renovation, the GROHE Retro-Fit Shower System installs easily and quickly. Simply replace the existing
shower arm and add the system components without altering any in-wall plumbing. Once installed, it’s easy to use; a quarter
turn of the diverter lever (located at the bottom of the shower bar) switches water flow from showerhead to hand shower or you can have both outlets on simultaneously.
