One of the biggest influences on a bathroom remodel’s success is choosing the right color and color combinations. Color can enhance the tone of the room and also gives you the opportunity to show off your personal style. We aren’t just talking about paint either; you can get creative with the ways that you use color in your bathroom. Bathmats, Towels, all the way down to small items such as your toothbrushes can have a big impact on the overall feel of your bathroom space!
Accessories are one way to add color and accent, but the walls and colors of your showers/tubs will have the largest impact. Depending on the size of the bathroom that you would like to remodel, dark and light colors can work for or against you. Dark colors may not be the best choice for a smaller space, while lighter colors can create the illusion of emptiness in a larger sized space. The color of your tiling and flooring will also play a large part in the initial impact that your coloring has as you enter the room. Careful consideration of how your flooring accentuates the overall feel that your bathroom conveys is important, and the end result is very satisfying to see it all tie together!
Columbus Bath Design of Ohio is happy to work closely with you to develop the overall color scheme and think of creative ways to introduce color to your space. A second opinion never hurts; it’s very easy to get tunnel vision on a certain attribute or style. Contact us today to get started on your new project, the bathroom of your dreams!
When considering a bathroom remodel, there are a number of things to think about. Included among the considerations is whether the remodel will transform the space into a space dedicated to luxury or simply increase the functionality and aesthetics of the room.
Other considerations will involve evaluating how the space is currently used — is it a retreat that will provide solace after a long day of work? We at Columbus Bath Design will listen to your vision and assist in transforming it into a space that is visually appealing and functional in a way that fits your life best. We help you decide what features you need while considering your budget and what you can afford.
While in the initial stages of determining how you would like to improve your existing space, we will work with you to consider the essentials of the space. Important factors will largely depend on the bathroom that will be remodeled; for example, whether it is the powder room, a child’s bathroom or the master bath. Each of these bathrooms require their own unique considerations when balancing form and function with your remodel.
We’re proud to serve the Columbus, Ohio area and help make the remodeling experience fun, easy, and customized to your needs! Contact us today to get started.

Though a bath can often be viewed as luxurious, many overlook the possible dangers of a bathtub for certain age groups. That is why we offer one day bathroom remodeling for our customers that includes a tub to shower conversion.
We offer customized options that will enhance safety and are cost effective. Some may avoid a tub to shower conversion in fear that it may appear unappealing in resale, however, many people prefer a shower instead of a bathtub.
For children, it is safer to avoid a larger, slipper surface area. When adults get older, they find that they may want grab bars or a bench to sit on while showering.
We take pride in the quality of materials we use. Some contractors use a two-layer acrylic, but at Columbus Bath Design, we use a four-layer high molecular base that is far more durable and chemically resistant. Opt to use Columbus Bath Design for a one day bathroom remodeling if you are considering replacing your old tub with a new stand up shower!
The first part of your bathroom to appear grungy is usually your bathtub and tiles. After numerous years, no amount of scrubbing and no cleaners will remove the mold and mildew.
One of the best and easiest ways to remodel a bathroom is a result of new materials technology: the creation of highly durable acrylic liners. These are a quarter of an inch thick, microbe-resistant, do not leak or develop mildew. There is no grouting to clean either, making these low-maintenance additions to your overall bathroom design.
Being neutral in color, they fit into any décor you have in mind, whether it involves unusual flooring tile textures and colors or faux-antique fittings. Every piece you add to the new bathtub will match the tub liner.
And acrylic bathtub liners can be installed in one day at a fraction of the price a full bathroom remodel would cost.

An increasing number of individuals are opting for a bathroom in which they can luxuriate, relax and unwind for the hustle and bustle of the outside world. These days, bathroom remodeling projects include spaces that are upgraded to include everything from heated towel racks to floors that massage the feet with their warmth and comfort. However, peace and relaxation are not the sole motivating factors for an updated bathroom design. A renovated bathroom is usually a good investment as it assists in increasing property value and more quickly selling a home. Below are some of the current trends in bathroom design.
Roomy and Airy Showers
Showers are getting bigger. Even in small bathrooms, a number of homeowners are opting to tear out the bathtub to expand the shower. Stalls are getting larger and more airy and much more glass is being included in bathroom remodeling projects.
Letting the Light In
Bathrooms are becoming sanctuaries. A lot of individuals want their bathrooms to be more sun-filled and brighter than before. This includes the addition of windows and skylights to the space.
Soaking Tubs
More people are going for the serene experience of soaking tubs. These tubs are typically deep, insulated and are noticeably missing the prominent decking the seemed synonymous with bathtubs in the 1980s and 1990s, providing a more streamlined look.
The use of acrylic in baths is one of the newest innovations in the bathroom remodeling industry! Our bathtub liners are made out of high molecular acrylic for durability, style, and ease of maintenance. This acrylic is the most scientifically advanced in the industry.

A steam shower is a type of bathroom shower unit that uses a humidifying steam generator to create water vapors in the shower. It works much like a steam room while also offering the typical features of a full bathroom shower, like shower heads and accessories.
Steam showers aren’t just fixtures in the finest spas anymore. We make it possible for customers to enjoy and benefit from that same spa experience every day, in their own home. Take a look at this one!
Remodeling a bathroom can be overwhelming. You have to decide how much you can spend, select the right products, and determine if you’re going to change the layout.
And that’s often before you call a contractor.
To ensure that your bathroom remodeling projects runs smoothly, here’s a checklist to keep your project on track. Remember: A successful renovation is all about smart timing!
6 Months Out
-Get inspired. To figure out what you want your new bathroom to look like, tear pages out of magazines and catalogues, and make a scrapbook or inspiration board. Designer Holly Rickert tells clients to use Post-Its to note why they like each bathroom. Later, she recommends flipping through the photos to find commonalities, and select similar tiles and fixtures.
-Ask around for contractor recommendations. While it’s not necessary to talk to a contractor yet, it’s a good time to start poking around for recommendations from local hardware stores, friends, and professional business associations. Then, when you’re ready to make the call, you’ll have a ready list of names.
-Start sketching. It’s essential to consider layout early on. Spend time thinking about what works about your bathroom’s layout—and what doesn’t. Consider storage needs: Could a closet be turned into a custom cabinet offering lots of stash spots?
Lastly, would you like to move the toilet, sink, or bathtub, and if so, what is feasible plumbing-wise? Are you going to expand the size of the bathroom or simply improve its aesthetic?
Keep in mind that the most expensive thing to move in a bathroom is the toilet. Also, if you plan to install multiple body sprays in the shower, it’s likely that your bathroom will require more rough plumbing work, so the cost will be higher.

-Finalize your budget. According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association , the average person will spend about $11,000 renovating a bathroom. Once you’ve figured out what you can spend, you should count on spending about two-thirds of your budget on labor. Then you’ll have a clearer sense of what you can spend on tile, fixtures, and extras, like a glass shower door.
If the remaining amount seems low, don’t fret: Thanks to a wide range of tile and fittings options, you can often replicate a high-end luxury look for less. For example, a tile that costs $10 per square foot can substitute for $100-per-square foot tile.
-Hire a contractor. With a few months to go before demolition, it’s a good time to bring in a licensed contractor. Ask a few to look at your drawings and make sure your plan—adding two shower heads, installing a Jacuzzi tub, etc.—is possible. Review estimates, check references thoroughly, and sign contracts. At this point, the contractor should commit to a start date, create a timeline of when he needs materials, and estimate when the project will be complete. Most bathroom renovations take about six weeks from start to finish. Don’t let any work begin without a signed contract.
Be sure to talk up front about the pay schedule: Often, you’ll pay a third up front, a third at the halfway point, and a third when the project is complete to your satisfaction.
Find out exactly how many days you’ll be without a shower, especially if you’re renovating your home’s only full bath. Make alternate plans in advance.
Two Months Out:
-Purchase tile and fixtures. While some tile orders can be fulfilled in two to three days, handmade or hand-painted tiles could take 12 weeks. Play it safe and make sure your tile orders are placed at least eight weeks before your demo date.
Fixtures should also be purchased early. Even big-name manufacturers can take three to four weeks to deliver products. High-end products often take as long as six to eight weeks to arrive.
If you’re ordering custom-built vanity or cabinets, check with the manufacturer to make sure that they’ll be there when the contractor needs them. Light fixtures can also take several weeks to arrive, so give yourself plenty of leeway when ordering.
One Month Out:
-Prep for contractor’s arrival. Clear out medicine cabinets and bathroom closets, and set up a temporary grooming space where you can get ready out of sight of contractors.
-Shop for accessories. With most of the hard planning over, have fun shopping for towel bars, towel hooks, a toilet paper holder, and the perfect soap dish. If you have a new color scheme, pick out your new shower curtain or towels.
-Select a paint color. Once the tile is up and the flooring is down, you’ll be able to get a sense of what color to paint the walls. It’s difficult to pick anything before that.
-Check in with your contractor often. Every day, when the contractor arrives, ask what will be done that day and mention any project hiccups and concerns you might have. Keep the lines of communication open. Make sure he knows where to store materials and how to get into the house if you’re not there. Keep pets and children away from the work site.
Final Days:
-Be flexible. If a project runs a few days over, try not to get frustrated. If that’s the biggest problem you’ve had, you got off easy.
-Inspect the contractor’s work. Chances are you’ll do this every day, but if anything seems amiss, try to address it before the job is completed.
-Celebrate. Throw down your new bath mats, unpack your toiletries, and sip a glass of Champagne.

Bathroom remodeling trends reflect a growing desire for a contemporary look with a spa-like feel. Bathroom designers and homeowners are embracing a more open space with a clean, minimalist appearance. Bathroom design is incorporating many natural elements, among other things.
Here are 5 hot trends happening in bathroom design today.
Custom Showers
Custom showers have quickly become a main focus in bathroom remodeling projects. Homeowners are seeking to create a spacious area with low or no threshold, allowing the tiles to flow seamlessly into the rest of the room. Added features like benches are also popular.
Freestanding Bathtubs
For many years, a bathtub or jetted tub was a must on most homeowner’s wish lists. Today, many are opting for the sleek look of a freestanding tub, if any at all. A classic claw footed tub is still in style, creating a focal point for the room.
Natural Materials and Colors
In keeping with the modern minimalist feel, materials and colors are trending towards natural tones. From warm wood grains to glass tiles, outdoor elements are being brought into the bathroom in order to create a zen-like atmosphere that allows for ultimate relaxation.
Efficient Fixtures
Homeowners are seeking to reduce their consumption of water, so efficient faucets and fixtures are in demand. With multiple shower heads and double sinks quickly becoming the norm, it makes sense to use more eco-friendly fixtures.
Freestanding Vanities
Vanities that look like a freestanding piece of furniture are increasingly popular. In fact, shelving and other storage units that are not built in are in demand. Freestanding pieces offer flexibility and allow homeowners to maximize the open space in a room.
For homeowners seeking a fresh look, our Columbus Ohio bathroom remodeling experts can get you started on the path to create a space with a whole new feel. Transform your bathroom into a relaxing retreat and embrace a modern design that will provide efficiency and style for many years to come.
