Why Consider a Shower Redesign?

If you’ve been considering a bathroom renovation, a shower remodel can be a great place to start.

As one of the most frequently used fixtures in the bathroom, upgrading your shower can have a significant impact on the overall look and feel of your space.

Although it may be tempting to undertake a bathroom renovation by yourself, this can prove to be a source of stress. At Columbus Bath Design, our goal is to ensure that your ensuite serves as a place of relaxation rather than adding to any existing stress.

A new shower can symbolize a fresh start and positive change.

The Impact of a Shower Redesign on Home Aesthetics

  • Upgrade your shower to enhance the appearance and atmosphere of your bathroom. A glass door can create a seamless look, allowing light to enter and making the space feel open and spacious.
  • Choose between a frameless glass enclosure or a sleek shower panel to add sophistication and refinement. Shower tiles can also bring texture, color, and style, transforming your bathroom into a visually stunning area.

Shower Design Options

When it comes to shower redesign, Columbus Bath Design offers various design options available. You can choose from a spacious walk-in shower, prefabricated shower insert, or a tub and shower combo based on your needs and preferences.

Columbus Bath Design offers a wide range of options to enhance your bathroom. Incorporate natural materials like marble or travertine for opulence. Transform your bathing experience with spa-like walk-in showers featuring rain shower heads, built-in benches, and multiple shower heads. Enhance the visual appeal with ceramic tiles, painted vanity, subway tiles, gridded glass panels, and large-format porcelain tiles. Contrast exposed-brick bathroom walls with a stone surround in the walk-in shower. Pebble floor tiles continue the natural look. Enjoy a spa-like experience every day with handheld and rain shower heads. With Columbus Bath Design, the design possibilities for your bathroom are endless.

Additionally, incorporating grab bars into your shower design is essential for enhanced safety and accessibility, especially for those with limited mobility. With grab bars, you can add support without compromising on style or aesthetics.

Walk-In Showers

Walk-in showers are popular for their modern and luxurious feel. The seamless glass walls create a sense of spaciousness and flow between the shower and bathroom.

Contact Columbus Bath Design for a custom design based on your ideal aesthetic and space. We offer a wide range of materials and choices to align with your personal style.

Prefabricated Shower Inserts

If you’re seeking an elegant and time-effective solution for your shower’s redesign, consider the beauty of prefabricated shower inserts. Columbus Bath Design offers sleek and stylish inserts that come in a variety of designs to complement the aesthetic of your bathroom.

Choose acrylic or fiberglass materials for easy installation and maintenance of your shower walls. With seamless walls and no grout, you reduce the risk of water damage, mold, and mildew. The sleek surface of pre-made shower inserts creates an impressive look, while the tile-like grooves and seams that mimic the look of tile lines add to their attractiveness. Upgrade your shower with a convenient and beautiful solution from Columbus Bath Design next year. Stone or stone-look slabs are another popular option for shower-wall surfaces, providing a dramatic and uninterrupted look that avoids the issues associated with grout, such as stains, mold, and water penetration.

Tub and Shower Combos

A tub and shower combo is ideal for small bathrooms or households with different bathing preferences. These designs optimize space without compromising functionality by combining a shower and bathtub. They come in various sizes, making them suitable for small bathrooms. With the right fixtures, switching between a shower and a bathtub is seamless. Whether you prefer a traditional tub-shower combo or a modern freestanding tub with a shower head, Columbus Bath Design offers versatile and practical designs.

Shower redesign is important, so consider the space you have. You can use a tub alcove or a small 3-foot-square space to create a decent shower without going wider than 42 inches. This way you can use your bathroom space efficiently and still have a comfortable shower.

What materials work best for a modern shower redesign?

For a modern shower redesign, materials like glass, porcelain, and natural stone are popular choices.

  • Glass shower doors create a sleek and open feel, while porcelain tiles offer durability and a clean aesthetic.
  • Natural stone, such as marble or granite, adds a touch of luxury and elegance to the design

Luxury Features to Elevate Your Shower and Tub Experience

To create a spa-like retreat in your bathroom, add luxury features to your shower redesign. Advanced shower heads, therapeutic lighting, and music can enhance your shower experience for ultimate relaxation and comfort.

Advanced Shower Heads

Transform your shower into an oasis of relaxation with an advanced showerhead. You can customize your shower experience to suit your preferences. Choose a rain or handheld shower head for soothing or targeted water flow.

Therapeutic Lighting and Music

Enhance your shower experience with therapeutic lighting and music from Columbus Bath Design. Soft, warm lighting creates a calming atmosphere, while music soothes the senses. Elevate your daily ritual with a spa-like ambiance for relaxation and stress relief.

How Can a Shower Redesign Create a Spa-Like Retreat at Home?

  • Transform your bathroom into a spa-like sanctuary by redesigning your shower.
  • Incorporate a steam shower, natural light, a shower pan, and ceramic tiles for a luxurious experience. A steam shower relaxes muscles, opens pores, and promotes detoxification.
  • Add uplifting natural light through skylights or windows. Use durable and aesthetically appealing ceramic tiles in various colors, patterns, and textures to add elegance and sophistication to your shower space.

So why wait? Make this new year a time for positive change and give yourself the gift of a revitalizing shower experience. Trust Columbus Bath Design when creating a space that brings you joy and tranquility.

How to Choose the Best Bathroom Showroom

by Columbus Bath Design |March 24, 2021 |5 Comments | Bathroom Design, Bathroom Remodeling |

One of the biggest aspects of home renovation is the ‘samples.’ This is most commonly used when painting rooms in your house as you take home the swatch to see how the colors will match your current décor.

“Samples” are also prevalent in bathroom renovations via the showroom. The showroom is the base example of what your current, perhaps bland, bathroom has the potential to be. That’s one of the reasons you want the showroom to be luxurious as well – to show you options. An underwhelming showroom is a telltale sign of how the contractor’s work will be. Here’s what you should look for in choosing the best bathroom showroom:

Bathroom Vanity

The feature may seem somewhat inconsequential, but the vanity is really what holds the bathroom together. You should be able to see all your vanity options available when you visit a showroom.

For starters, do you want one sink or two? Do you want the sink to be embedded in the countertop or the modern bowl types that have gained popularity lately? These bowls can be rustic, clear, or even different shapes like rectangles.

A great showroom will also give you an example of the types of materials that are available for your vanity. Marble seems like the go-to, but in some homes is almost too fancy. Granite is durable and peaceful.

Vanities don’t always have to be the traditional “drawers underneath” style either. No doubt this style offers great storage, but open bottom vanities are gaining in popularity because they make a small bathroom look more open. That’s what a great showroom will do – show you your options.

Functionality of Your Bathroom

Don’t always expect a bathroom showroom to have working plumbing, but top-notch bathroom showrooms will have some functionality though. How does this showerhead detach from its holster? What do these kinds of lights look like turned on? Even something as simple as opening and closing drawers lets you visualize them being installed in your home.

Customizable Options for Your Bathroom

One thing to remember is that the showroom is just an example of the features that are available. It can be renovated “as-is” or you can mix and match the different products and styles that fit your tastes.

Home renovations always come with options. It’s a good rule of thumb that to remodel to your tastes while also considering future buyer’s preferences – but that’s not a law. Free-standing bathtubs may look too modern for some buyers. Others will say “we’ll never use that bathroom fireplace or that heated towel rack.” You can’t please everyone, so you might as well please yourself.

Bathroom Renovation Pricing

Budget is always a concern when discussing home renovations. A showroom can ‘show’ you all the potential that your bathroom could see and note many of the luxury items available, but they should also be upfront about what those features would potentially cost.

The decision to invest in your bathroom is a wise one, and you’ll likely recoup your finances in market value at some point if you hold on to the home. The bathroom also has to be part of the whole house scheme though too. You want to ultimately create a space that home buyers remember, but not at the cost of other areas of your home.

What you’re ultimately looking for in a showroom is value. Don’t spend your entire budget on the shower, only to be left with a low-end vanity and flooring.

Integrate Your Bathroom With the Rest of Your Home

Showrooms give you an idea of options available when remodeling a bathroom, but you’ve also got to consider how these features and layout will integrate with your current square footage.

Will you need to do more extensive renovations to install the features you’ve found attractive in a showroom? We would all love a spa in the corner of our bathroom, but not if it means having to knock down walls in the master bedroom and downsizing from a king bed to a twin.

The bathroom only has value if the whole house has value. Showrooms give you an idea of the potential that can easily be reached. The ultimate bathroom comes from one part showroom, and one part creativity of the homeowner. A perfect recipe.

Best Bathroom Showroom Overview

Bathroom showroom browsing doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You’re not locked into any of the products on display, and these are just options available for remodeling.

You should make a list of your bathroom renovation priorities. Looks are huge, functionality is important, and energy efficiency should always be considered. Something else to note is that you shouldn’t have any regrets. If you’ve always wanted a walk-in shower, go for it. You can always make one feature your focal point, and design around that.

Best Paints and Colors For Your Bathroom

by Columbus Bath Design |June 29, 2018 |11 Comments | Bathroom Accessories, Bathroom Design, Bathroom Maintenance, Bathroom Remodeling, Bathroom Remodeling Tips, Bathroom tips | , , , , , ,

Bathrooms can make a huge impact on the overall aesthetic of your home. Many people have outdated bathrooms because of the common misconceptions surrounding the ease and cost of remodeling a bathroom. One quick way to spruce your bathroom up without a full remodel is to reconsider your color scheme.

Looking at Paint Samples

It can be hard to determine a good color because typically the bathroom receives the least amount of natural light in the home. It is important to get samples and paint cards to test the color before applying it to the walls. The exact colors you see in photos or magazines can be a good option to use as samples because this is generally how they will actually look under the hue of artificial light. Even colors that seem neutral can have vibrant undertones, so it’s important to test your paint cards and look at it them different times of the day before deciding.

Picking a Color Scheme

You can pick your colors based on a variety of factors. Think about what look you are going for- is it tranquil and serene? Bold and colorful? Trendy and stylish? You want to pick something that will last over a long period of time as you don’t want to have to repaint any time soon. Soft and neutral colors like light gray and sage greens will provide a relaxing and spa-like feel, and you can also pair neutrals with pops of other colors through accessories and decorations. With neutrals, you can change these accent colors out whenever you want as opposed to repainting the whole powder room. Whites and creams give bathrooms a very clean, high-end feel and pair well with marbles and white trim. Bright colors like blues, greens, and oranges, provide a punch of color and personality to a smaller space and can be toned down with white and neutral accents.

Finding a Flow

You also want to choose samples that match things in the room that you will not be remodeling, for instance, the flooring. For a cohesive feel throughout the whole powder room, it’s important to make sure all of the colors flow and there’s consistency throughout the theme of the powder room, with the colors, the flooring, the tub, the vanity, and countertops. Your powder room will look more complete and high end if it all flows together, and paints can be a great way to tie it all together.

Paint Type

Although when you walk into a home improvement store there are always a variety of wall colors to choose from, another important decision you need to make is type is what type of paint to use. One of the best paint options is semi-gloss. The texture gives it a shiny and sealed finish. This is ideal for bathrooms as it repels moisture and will prevent mold and mildew from developing. Typically all paints at the glossier end of the spectrum will resist mold and mildew well. 

Repainting your bathroom is a great way to get a fresh new look. It’s an inexpensive way to update your space if you’re not ready for a full remodel. If you have questions about paint colors or remodeling your bathroom in general, give Columbus Bath Design a call today.

 

Planning a One-Day Remodel While Mom is Away

by Columbus Bath Design |May 4, 2018 |0 Comments | Bathroom Design, Bathroom Maintenance, Bathroom Remodeling, Bathroom Remodeling Cost, Bathroom Remodeling Materials, Bathroom Remodeling Tips, Bathroom tips, Bathtub Conversions, homeowners, One Day Bathroom Remodel, Tips for the Home | , , , , , , , , , , ,

Trying to surprise your mom is a tough proposition–especially when you’re looking at a remodeling project. You know that she’ll be quickly frustrated by a half-done room that’s difficult or impossible to use, so surprising her while she’s away is one of the most effective ways to get that remodeling project taken care of. If you’re planning a one-day remodeling project, however, make sure that you’re appropriately prepared for the process. 

Step One: Create a PlanPlanning a One-Day Remodel While Mom is Away

If you’re going to finish your remodeling project in a day, you need to know exactly what you want to do. Work closely with your contractor as you discuss details like color scheme, how much remodeling you really need to do, and other key attributes of the project. The better prepared you are, the more likely you’ll be able to complete your project effectively. 

Step Two: Let Your Contractor Evaluate the Space

There’s nothing worse than diving in with a project that’s supposed to take a single day, only to find significant problems with your home that will lead to more difficulty. Bring your contractor in when Mom’s not home and let them take a look at the space. They may be able to predict issues like mold behind the walls, uneven surfaces, or tile problems before they start the project, allowing you to assess whether or not you can really complete that project in a day. 

Step Three: Prioritize

When you’re working on a remodeling project, things often fail to go exactly according to plan. Those tiles you just had to have for the bathroom walls will fail to stick, or the vanity will come apart as you’re trying to take it out, or you’ll discover that an unexpectedly wet day makes it take twice as long as usual for the paint to dry. By creating a priority list, you’ll be able to decide what pieces of the project can wait until another day if you need to finish up fast. 

Step Four: Prepare

In order to truly remodel a space in a single day, you need to be prepared. All of the items you need should be purchased ahead of time, from new mirrors to towel bars. The last thing you need to do is spend your day running back and forth to your local store. Make sure that you’ve chosen materials that work well together and that will effectively fit into your space in order to streamline the remodeling process. 

Step Five: Stick With It

A one-day remodeling project is not the time to decide that you want to turn your original ideas upside down. Instead, make sure that you’re willing to live with your original plan–and more importantly, that Mom will be! Last-minute changes can extend the time necessary to complete the project, leaving you with a half-finished room when Mom gets home. 

Choosing the right contractor is critical to ensuring a smooth remodeling project, especially if you want to do it in a single day. Carefully preparing and letting the contractor know what you’re doing, however, will ensure a smooth process that will result in a great surprise when Mom comes home.

How Do I Create a Luxurious Guest Bathroom?

Wooden BathroomMany homes have guest bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms. However, because this room is not continuously used, it can quickly become dull and outdated. Fortunately, it is not as difficult as it may seem to transform a lackluster guest bathroom into a luxurious, welcoming space for house guests. The suggestions offered below will make this project a bit less daunting:

Vessel Sinks and Spa Showers

To create a modern, luxurious guest bath, consider the addition of a vessel sink or vanity, and a spa shower. Vanities made from bamboo or natural wood are currently popular among many homeowners. A spa shower featuring a rainforest shower head is particularly luxurious and will impress any guest. The spa shower and vessel sink will add comfort and style, and the combination will create an overall welcoming presence in the room.

Skylights

Natural light is lacking in a lot of bathrooms, as windows in a bathroom create privacy concerns. However, if the guest bathroom is located on the home’s second floor, a skylight can easily solve this problem, as well as add a luxurious touch to the room. Skylights also instantly modernize a room’s appearance, while providing extra light as an additional benefit.

Suspended Fixtures

Suspended fixtures are accessories that can update the look of any room, particularly a bathroom. For instance, if your goal is a luxurious and unique guest bath, a toilet and sink can be affixed to the wall in such a way that they appear suspended in midair. Suspended shelves and frameless glass shower doors could also give the room a contemporary look.

Framed Mirrors

Mirrors have become bathroom essentials. They are both decorative and practical. Framed mirrors are a great option when creating a luxurious bathroom, and the styles and designs available are limitless.

Fresh Paint

Brightening the room with a fresh coat of paint, such as today’s popular pastel shades, instantly breathes new life into the room. This is a simple way to change the feel of the room and set the stage for new décor.

Popular Accessories

Accessories are also important to update. Replacing old, dull fixtures with new, modern ones is a great place to start. If you are not sure where to start, items with gold finishes are currently popular, as are fixtures with colored enamel coatings. Natural wood and live edge accents are also popular.

Hotel-style towel racks are also making a splash this season. Because these towel racks are stackable and hold multiple towels, they also save space, which makes them a good choice for small guest bathrooms.

Due to their infrequent use, guest bedrooms and bathrooms are frequently overlooked. However, when the time comes to update your home’s guest bathroom, the tips mentioned above will ensure luxurious results that will provide welcoming comfort to every guest.

Columbus Bathroom Remodeling: Pick Acrylic to Do the Trick!

Options. That’s what we’re all about here at Columbus Bath Design of Columbus, OH. When it comes time to remodel your bathroom, we want you to know that there are a number of choices you can make to build the perfect bathroom. One of those choices can be made right at the foundation – what material will you choose to beautify your bathroom space? In this article, we want to highlight a choice that is proving to be fast, cost-effective and long-lasting…acrylic.

The Science of Acrylic

Bathroom remodeling in Columbus Ohio with Acrylic

Here at Columbus Bath Design, we are the area’s exclusive provider of Luxsan multilayer and single layer acrylic bathroom remodeling products. These are the finest acrylic surfaces you can find and their composition is nothing short of amazing.

The Luxsan 3000 series features a four-layer construction. The adhesion layer is topped with a layer of ABS plastic which is impact-resistant and extremely durable. On top of that is a high-molecular acrylic layer pigmented with your choice of color. A clear high-molecular weight acrylic layer tops it all off. With the Luxsan 4000, you have an added layer of granite particulates. For the single layer Luxsan 5000, your choice of color runs all the way through the durable 150 gauge layer.

What Can You Do With All of This Acrylic?

Just about anything you can dream up! Instead of tearing out an old tub, save money and time by having an acrylic tub liner custom fit right over top of the old tub. Feel like having a luxury shower installed? You can easily convert your current tub space to an acrylic shower or have a separate tub and shower space installed to accommodate whatever mood you’re in. You can even opt for a walk-in tub in order to meet the special needs of a loved one.

Benefits of Your New Bathroom

If you’re considering a bathroom remodel, you are more than likely experiencing some issues such as cracking, leaking, mold and mildew. With acrylic, those problems are a thing of the past. Acrylic is a non-porous material, the products are custom-fit and they feature Microban, which helps prevent the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew. No caulking, leaking or cracking. And clean up is a snap! Just try some simple dish soap and water to bring sparkle and shine to your space.

Once your dream bathroom is a reality, you’ll find the time you spent worrying about maintenance is now spent admiring the beauty of your new acrylic products…and relaxing in your beautiful tub or shower.

Be sure to schedule an in-home estimate or drop by our Columbus, Ohio bathroom showroom to check out the wide variety of styles, colors, textures and products available in our acrylic line. We’re sure that once you see what we have to offer at Columbus Bath Design, you’ll be ready for a stunning new look for your bathroom!

Bathroom Remodeling: Keep It Looking New

Bathroom remodeling

We certainly hope you’re enjoying a newly remodeled bathroom thanks to our team here at Columbus Bath Design of Columbus, OH.  If you are, or even if you’ve seen the dazzling examples of dream bathrooms in our showroom, you’ll notice that one of the reasons our bathrooms are so stunning is that they are immaculately clean.  You’d be surprised how many people neglect this one simple step in maintaining a beautiful bathroom space.  In this article, we’d like to present some helpful hints to keep your bathroom in tip-top shape.

Cleaning – Make it a Habit

How often do you find yourself scrubbing and spritzing right before friends and family stop by?  Don’t worry – we’ve all been guilty of that.  Unfortunately, by letting the bathroom cleaning go unattended for a while, you’re just making the work that much more difficult.  Bathrooms should be cleaned weekly at a minimum.  We also recommend taking a few minutes each and every day to do some minor cleaning (wipe down the counter and products, pick up clutter, put towels in a laundry hamper or basket) so your weekly cleaning doesn’t become overwhelming.

Keep Your Supplies Close

It’s easier to clean a bathroom when the cleaning products are handy.  Each bathroom should have a scrub brush for the toilet.  They’re inexpensive and you are much more likely to clean the commode often if the brush is on site.  Organize your rags, scrub brushes, glass cleaner, soap, and tub cleaning products so that they’re not cluttered.  Be sure to keep them out of the reach of children and make sure the cleaning products have child-proof caps.

Columbus Bath Design Products Make Cleaning Easy!

If you’ve remodeled using Columbus Bath Design products, you already know how easy it is to clean the bathroom.  For normal everyday cleaning, we suggest using a mild soap, such as dish detergent and water with a soft washcloth.  Avoid using scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they will dull the surface over the years.

Other recommended cleaning products are Formula 409 and X-IT.  Vinegar and water may also be used to soften water minerals.  If you need to use a disinfectant, try Clorox Bleach diluted with water to sanitize the enclosure.

We do NOT recommend using the following:  Original Clean Shower, Clean Shower for Plastic Showers and Glass, Soft Scrub, Dow disinfectant cleaner, Lysol disinfectant cleaner, acetone, Lestoil, ammonia, fingernail polish remover, aerosol cleaners, or scouring pads.  Again, these products can dull the surface and could even void your bath product warranty.

Should you have any questions about cleaning products, feel free to contact us here at Columbus Bath Design of Columbus, OH.  Our friendly, knowledgeable team can provide some further assistance about the best ways to keep your Columbus Bath Design products sparkling. By following these guidelines, you’ll never have to be embarrassed when friends or family decide to make an unannounced visit.  When that doorbell rings…you’ll always be ready to show off your beautiful bathroom!
