Considering Resale Value in Your Bathroom Remodel

by Columbus Bath Design |July 7, 2014 |0 Comments | Bathroom Design, Bathroom Remodeling, Uncategorized | , ,

When considering a design and theme for your bathroom remodel, it is often best to keep the look classic. Popular color schemes and trends change drastically over time, and picking features that are a little trendy today may not have mass appeal in the future. Sticking with a classic bathroom design can be key to resale value later on.

This is not to say your bathroom design has to be boring. Decorative mirrors, striking accent colors, and choosing your accessories with a theme in mind can all inject the personal touch that you desire.  It’s best to keep the color on items that can easily be changed, such as walls that can be repainted.  Remember that it’s a much more costly and labor intensive project to replace sinks, flooring, and tiling.  When selling your home, you can count on potential buyers paying close attention to your bathroom.  The design and look of the bathroom will not only affect their overall impression of your home, potential buyers will also be thinking about how much work they may have to put in to it on their own at some point.

Columbus Bath Design Systems of Central Ohio is here to help you consider the space you have to work with, and plan your design accordingly.  We’ve been in the business of bathroom remodeling for a long time, and we can help you design your dream bathroom for less, and help make it a timeless addition to your home.  Please contact our office today to explore bathroom remodeling options.

Select Eco-Friendly Fixtures For Your Bathroom Remodel

by Columbus Bath Design |July 3, 2014 |0 Comments | Bathroom Remodeling, Uncategorized | , ,

When considering a green bathroom remodel, the most important facet in most homeowners’ minds these days is water conservation. With the number of green items on the market, that goal is easy to accomplish. By installing water-saving fixtures, you will not only reduce your bathroom’s footprint but save money on your monthly water bills.

Products with a WaterSense label save up to 20 percent more water than average fixtures. There are many options to explore such as high-efficiency showerheads that won’t lessen water pressure and high-efficiency faucets with built-in aerators that reduce water flow. Low-flow and dual-flow toilets are much improved over those from just a few years ago. Dual-flow units let you choose water flow according to waste.

Energy efficient lighting fixtures are another way to update your bathroom and reduce your footprint simultaneously. Switch to compact fluorescent bulbs for vanity fixtures, while overhead, xenon lights produce less heat and save additional energy. Consider using as much natural light as possible to save even more energy.

With many energy efficient options available to you, your bathroom remodel can save you money in energy costs without sacrificing the look and feel that you desire. We invite you to visit our showroom in central Ohio, or contact us today to discuss the many options available to you for your bathroom remodel!

With a busy schedule, how much time can you devote to cleaning?  This is an important question to ask yourself when considering a bathroom remodel.  This question can affect options such as using tiling vs. a wall system, color schemes, and other factors.  If cutting down on cleaning and maintenance of your bathroom is important to you, we have a fantastic option available.  Columbus Bath Design is the exclusive supplier of advanced acrylic surfaces featuring Microban protection.

Higher humidity levels in your bathroom help create  a microbe friendly environment that can lead to mold, bacteria, and mildew.  To combat this, and cut down on time spent cleaning, Columbus Bath Design Systems provides antimicrobial protection in the form of the Microban protection system. Microban is built directly into our bathroom wall systems, ensuring that it works twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, constantly cleaning and fighting to keep your bathtub and shower area cleaner.

Microban technology does not mean that your bathroom will be maintenance free, but it does cut out a lot of the time and effort that you would otherwise spend cleaning compared other wall surfaces.  Selecting our Acrylic Wall Systems in your bathroom remodel will ensure that the areas will be more resistant to microbes, staining, and that the areas you clean will stay cleaner for much longer. This system will never wear away, protecting your bathroom for years and years after the installation.

If you are interested in our bathroom wall systems that can add style and protection to your bathroom, Columbus Bath Design of Central Ohio will be able to provide you with the most reliable and attractive services available.  Visit our showroom, or contact us to learn more about how we can help you with your bathroom remodel!

Bathroom Remodeling: The Classic Style

by Columbus Bath Design |June 16, 2014 |0 Comments | Bathroom Remodeling, Uncategorized | , ,

Making the decision to remodel your bath is big, but sometimes making the selection for the look and style can feel even bigger!  With so many options available to you, it can feel daunting to take it all in and select a look and style.  If you don’t quite know what direction you would like to go and are balancing different ideas, the classic style is a fantastic option.

Classic style bathrooms have a very broad appeal.  The classic style has a very clean and timeless feel and leaves you with plenty of room to still give it your own touch.  Color schemes within the classic style are typically neutral, featuring the tried and true black and white color contrast.

The classic style also is a wise choice concerning resale value as it has proven to be very versatile and timeless.  For example, your main bathroom features can belong to the classic style, but they can also be combined with features such as modern lighting or tiling to give a completely different look and feel.  In the end you’re left with more options and plenty of room to really customize the space and make it your own!

No matter what style you choose, we’re here to help you turn the bathroom of your dreams into a reality in your home.  You’re always welcome to visit our showroom here in central Ohio, or schedule an estimate.  We’ll surprise you with how fun and easy bathroom remodeling can be!

Increase Your Home’s Value With A Bathroom Remodel

by Columbus Bath Design |June 5, 2014 |0 Comments | Bathroom Remodeling, Uncategorized | , , , ,

Whether you are planning on selling your home in the near future or not, it is important to consider how some remodeling projects can pay off in terms of increasing the value of your home. After all, at some point, the value of your home will be an important factor in your life and making sure you get the most from your home improvements can help give you the best resale value possible.  Many buyers are especially drawn to looking at the bathrooms since they are an area of the home that is used often.

Many real estate experts agree that money spent remodeling the bath can often be recovered at 100% or more of the amount invested in the project. This is especially true in areas with a strong housing market. When considering a remodel project for your bathroom, traditional features are often preferred.  Walk in showers are also an excellent option.  Of course, if you only have one bathroom, you may be better off spending your remodeling budget on adding another bath.

If you are interested in the prospect of adding more value to your home, and increasing your enjoyment of one of the most used areas of your home, Columbus Bath Design of Central Ohio is here to help you get started!  Contact us today!

When Is It Time To Consider A Bathroom Remodel?

by Columbus Bath Design |May 27, 2014 |0 Comments | Uncategorized

A bathroom remodel is a great way to add luxury to one of the most used and enjoyed spaces in your home.  Oftentimes, however, the need for a remodel isn’t based on luxury alone.  The bathroom, like any other part of your home, requires maintenance over time to remain a functional space.  If you spot any of these telltale signs, it may be time to consider a bathroom remodel:

1.  Is it getting excessively difficult to clean the surfaces of your bathroom, especially tiles and sinks?  If your regular cleanings are becoming less and less effective, for instance, if you notice stains that just aren’t coming out, or mold and discoloration, it may be time to consider a remodel.  New high tech wall systems such as our Acrylic Wall Systems are available that are more durable and stain resistant than older types of surfaces.

2.  Are you having consistent functional issues with your toilet?  Mechanical issues such as flushing, running water, etc.  that keep coming back will not simply get better over time.  What about your shower?  Are you having issues with water pressure?  These kinds of issues are not only frustrating and inconvenient, but they are also indications that it’s time to update.

3.  Is your bathroom space not fitting your personal needs?  Would you benefit from the added safety of a walk in tub, shower seat, or grab bar?  Or, do you constantly find that you wish you had larger mirrors or more cabinet space?

Remember that you aren’t stuck with what you have.  You have many, many, options available to you to upgrade your bathroom space to fit your wants and needs!  As you read this article, if any of these issues sound familiar to you, please contact us today to start the process of your dream bathroom transformation.

Picking Your Dream Color Scheme

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!

What to Consider When You Remodel

by Columbus Bath Design |May 9, 2014 |0 Comments | Bathroom Remodeling, Bathroom Remodeling Tips, Uncategorized | , ,

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.

Customize Your Bathroom Remodel With Columbus Bath Design

by Columbus Bath Design |April 22, 2014 |0 Comments | Bathroom Remodeling, Uncategorized

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!
