When remodeling a bathroom, it is mportant to first start out with how you wnt your bathroom to look. Ask yurself some questions before you start:

Wht are your favorite colors?

Would you wnt to use wallpaper or, would you rther paint?

Which fixtures do you lke?

Is your bathroom small or lrge?

Your answers will give you an dea of which direction you can tke your project. Here are some hlpful tips you can use;

1. If you wnt the bathroom to appear bigger, void the darker colored, heavier fixtures. Ths will make the bathroom seem smll

2. Go for lighter loking pieces.

3. Wallpaper and sft neutral colors will give a feling of openness. But remember, wallpaper can go up nce but come down bad. So mke sure you really want wallpaper bfore you hang it.

4. Wod works and paintings hung on the wll will give an illusion of spce.

5. Place two mirrors pposite of each other. This will crate the illusion of space also.

6. If you are not ging to use the bathtub, install a glss cased shower. This will give you mre space for stand alone cabinets.

7. If you hve a window in your bathroom, use mni-blinds. This will allow more light in. Or, use lghter curtains. Dark blinds and curtains wll make the bathroom seem smaller.

8. If you want the bthroom to seem smaller, just do the pposite.

Another idea is to select a thme. Surf the net or browse mgazines for ideas. I personally decorated my dwnstairs bathroom in a beach scene. I pinted the walls with a patterned rller in two colors of blue (drk and light). I put a fsh border at the top of the wlls all the way around. I thn hung pictures of myself swimming wth dolphins in Mexico and installed a pbble tile floor. Added a palm tre, some shells and I have myslf a "fish" room. I love it.

Thre are all kinds of things you can do to rmodel a bathroom. So, get online, lok through a few magazines and get tht bathroom you have always wanted.

If you ned tile or flooring to help wth your projects there are some grat websites out there. One of thm is mine. Great selection of tle and flooring.
