There are many rooms in your house where you entertain your family and friends. Usually, these are called the "common" rooms. They are the living, dining, family, keeping room and bathroom. Sometimes the bathroom can be the most popular room in the house! Because this room is so important you need to make sure that your decorating style and color palette flows into your bathroom too. As an Interior Designer in Atlanta, I know many people who are updating their bathrooms to look attractive and to be much more functional.
My client, Adela, wanted to give her bathroom a face lift.
We worked together to produce an interior design plan to update her son's bathroom. I called in Mauro who is my talented handy-man and home fix-it specialist. We talked with Mauro about the plan for Adela's new bathroom. Adela's house is not a new house so her plumbing needed to be modified and updated to be able to have the new plumbing fixtures functional. Mauro explained what needed to be done and how long it would take. Adela and I went shopping to find the perfect tile for her floor and bathtub area. We also chose a new toilet, sink, cabinet, plumbing fixtures, mirror, lighting and shower curtain rod.
(Taking the tile out of the store and into the natural light to see the true color. )
All of the bathroom materials were purchased and Mauro carefully removed all of the old elements in the bathroom. After everything was removed, Mauro found mold. Mold is very dangerous to have in your house. He knew what to do to fix this mold problem. He tore out additional problem areas and killed the mold. I am glad I brought in an expert to re-do Adela's bathroom so we do not run into health problems in the future. The tile has been laid for both the flooring and bathtub area. Her sink, mirror, toilet and lighting all look fantastic in her new bathroom! Now that the bathroom has been renovated it is time to decorate and accessorize. Adela's original shower curtain was too short to be hung back up in the shower. We will be replacing the shower curtain with a new longer one that fits the length of the shower properly. Adela and I will choose a fabric to custom make this shower curtain. One of the colors I will look for in the fabric is the warm beige that is the main color of the tile. The beige in the fabric will help to "pop" the beige out of the tile and allow the tile color to show more dominantly. Adela loves the color red as an accent in Bryan's bathroom so we will find a fabric that combines red with the beige color to make this new shower curtain. We will also choose towels, pictures, rugs and accessories that will coordinate with our new color palette. Even though Adela has a small window in the shower, it is not necessary to add a curtain to this window.
