A glass block wall makes over a bathroom into a more contemporary and stylish location.
Planning a bathroom makeover can lead you to a vast assortment of possibilities. When making your plans, you should draw up a realistic budget as well and stick to it. Don't automatically reject any good idea that comes your way, but approach them all with a serious consideration of whether you can afford it, whether it meets your functional needs and whether it easily integrates with existing elements and your choice of style. Does this Spark an idea?
Using Existing Adjacent Space
A makeover could expand the space inside a bathroom that is just too small. When an adjoining space can be made available, you can annex it to become a part of the bathroom. Don't be afraid to get a little creative in this makeover plan. Space can range from an existing closet to utilizing a bedroom closet and moving items currently occupying that closet elsewhere. You need only a small amount of space to add a larger vanity, make a whirlpool tub capable of fitting inside the bathroom or just simply creating more convenient storage space for bathroom items.
Decorate With Glass
Modernist design can be accomplished during a bathroom makeover by adding glass in decorative ways. Pedestal sinks can feature translucent glass around its perimeter. Take out a boring window in the wall, and replace it with glass blocks. A bigger investment can produce a very striking effect; build an entire wall with glass blocks that is artistically lit with fiber optics.
Toilets With Personality
Rules requiring toilets to be boring do not exist, so focus on adding a little more aesthetic quality to your makeover by replacing your existing toilet with something that has more personality. A very retro style harkens back to the original design of toilets by placing the tank high on the wall, connecting to a copper pipe and flushing using a long pull cord. Unconventional designs that make toilets look like anything but a toilet are also available. At the very least, your makeover can introduce a toilet of another color.
Heating Functionality
Let your makeover turn your bathroom into a literally warmer place. A heated ladder style towel rack lends the room some style while also providing a very useful function. Paneling around the tub can be added that produces heat that keeps the water warmer for longer periods.
Tiling Walls
The addition of tile can transform drab bathroom walls into works of art. Tiling can be used simply by adding just one or two colors, or it can become much more complex by creating a mosaic. You don't even have to tile every wall or an entire wall to produce a dramatic change in the appearance and feel of the bathroom. Tiling half a wall beneath a complementary wallpaper design can be just as effective and much cheaper.
