Need HelpBathroom Remodeling
Based on your budget and project scope for bathroom remodeling in Wichita, our clients typically select one of three distinct types: Surface Alterations, Layout Changes, or Complete Tear-Out/Remodel. Each option offers unique benefits, so let’s take a closer look at each type:
Surface Alteration Remodel
At one end of the spectrum, you may like the general layout and size of your bathroom and the structure supporting the bathroom (joists, walls, etc.) are sound. The mantra of the surface-level bathroom remodel is “cover, not replace.”
Layout Change Remodel
In the middle of the spectrum, the structural elements are still fine and you want to make surface alterations, but you also want to change the layout around.
Complete Tear-Out Remodel
Everything is coming out, including the sink! This typically involves a tear-down to the studs to recreate your ideal bathroom from scratch.
New Trends in Bathroom Remodeling
1. TURN YOUR BATHROOM INTO A DAY SPA
One way to “get away,” and at the same time enhance your home’s value, is to turn the bathroom into an in-home retreat. In fact, making the bathroom a place of retreat is one of today’s most popular home remodeling projects as homeowners look for relief from hectic lifestyles and choose to spend more time at home. Homeowners are focusing their spending on the home to make it a secure, comfortable environment.
2. HEATED FLOORS
Add the comfort and elegance of a warm floor. Hot water-warmed floor heating can be easily installed under your bathroom tile. After a shower, everyone prefers to step on a warm floor, especially during our cold winter mornings!
3. Increasing the Bathroom Size
The number one bathroom design trend among homeowners is making the room larger. Homeowners are knocking out walls to make the current bath more functional and comfortable. Today, the bath needs to be big enough to accommodate everything homeowners want to include. Bathroom furniture and a separate shower and bathtub are emerging as hot items in today’s master bath.
4. Walk In Shower, please!
A majority of our Clients choose a walk-in shower as the number one item they want in their new or remodeled master bathroom. Onyx showers have many options including colors, tile looks, low profile entries, benches, niches, and grab bars to create ultimate relaxation. Don’t forget about their lifetime warranty! Also, beautiful tile showers add so much style. Plus we help you think through the fixtures that will make your space truly feel like a spa!
5. More Furniture in My Bathroom
Today’s bathrooms are equipped with more than just the traditional bath and sink. As homeowners increase the size of their bathrooms, they are experimenting with armoires for storage, music, television and chaise lounges for reading and relaxing. Vintage furniture is also making a splash in home remodeling in Wichita jobs. Homeowners are using vintage pieces as vanities or for more decorative purposes such as a towel rack or sitting chairs. When you remodel or renovate your bathroom with Five Star Remodeling, we can give your Wichita KS area bathroom the custom cabinet, furniture, plumbing, and design treatment with master carpentry and craftsmanship that you deserve.
6. Add a Splash of Color, Too!
Although brushed nickel is still a very popular fixture color, homeowners are looking for other colors that will remain timeless. Adding a little color to a bathroom is as easy as a custom sink or a new paint color on the walls. Homeowners need to choose a color that suits their personality but also fits the type of environment they are looking for. The latest color trends are running the gamut. Natural colors are the most versatile, but designers are incorporating some bolder colors such as red and blue as well as deep forest and emerald green, terracotta, and rust. These colors are used in everything from the paint to the sink to decorative tiles.
7. Add a Steam Shower
For anyone suffering from allergies, severe congestion or even when you come down with the common cold, there is an Aromatherapy dispenser that can be added as an accessory that can be controlled from inside the steam area from a touch screen control pad, you can mix different liquids/oils in with the steam for therapeutic results.
8. Going Green, Tankless & Energy Efficient
Many homeowners are upgrading their plumbing systems, fixtures and other major appliances to be more green and energy-efficient. Tankless water heaters are a trend that can not only conserve water but ensure you never run out of hot water! Low-flow toilets and other plumbing innovations can help you use less water and pay for that bathroom remodeling job over time. Tax breaks may also help cover the cost of energy-efficient home upgrades (check with your accountant).
