Remodeling Bathrooms: Design Process using Pinterest

Remodeling bathrooms is one of the projects that are better handled by a professional rather than doing it by yourself. A handyman should always comes up with the steps on how to work with the homeowner, that suits the homeowner's lifestyle.

When the homeowner is a busy professional and travels around the country, it is expected that they have no time to browse the internet or flip through magazine pages to gather ideas that appeal to them. So I suggest using Pinterest to communicate during the designing phase of the project.

Unlike papers and magazines, which are hard to keep organized and to make copies of photos for everyone on the design build team, Pinterest lets you create one collection of boards. Pinterest is a social media network where you can organize by function or priority and, best of all, all photos can be shared with everyone on the design-build team. Homeowners can show what they want to happen in their homes through the photos or pins without having to know all the technical terms. Pinterest gives homeowners an easy way to collate ideas online, and be able to see and share the things they want included in their remodeling project.

Remodeling Bathrooms & Pinterest Boards

Pinterest is a great tool for remodeling bathrooms, as the bathroom is one of the most complicated rooms that consists of a large number of functional features involved, from the vanity, sink and faucet down to matching hardware for the shower/bathtub, toilet, vanity and accessories. You need to make a Pinterest Board to group the items involved in the project.

The Number of Boards You Should Make When Remodeling Bathrooms

Many homeowners who undertake their own bathroom remodels fail to plan for all the items they'll need to purchase for their project and often exceed their budget.. We help homeowners manage their budget by identifying all their costs for bathroom remodeling projects, including the matching accessory hardware, which can add 100's to the cost. To help you get started, here's an outline of what we know homeowners think about:

Room lighting - includes windows for natural light and ceiling/wall light fixtures.

Space and layout - This is where you need to decide how much space you need in your bathroom. This is a bit hard when you have a small amount of space and you want to put large number of fixtures inside your bathroom. Another thing is that you have to visualize what activities occur in the room like a larger bathroom with spa and exercise fixtures are becoming popular, and how many people might be using the space at one time.

Color and texture - This involves paint colors, hardware, flooring and tile as these are huge features in many bathrooms with lots of exciting new textures.

Bathing and relaxing - Decide whether you want a bathtub or a shower or both.

Dressing areas - include mirrors, task lighting, and closets in addition to your traditional vanities.

Storage and seating - Aside from a place to sit and relax, most homeowners like more storage from extra linen closets (one per bathroom) to shelving for books.
