Indulge Your Senses by Creating a Spa-Like Retreat in Your Home with a Bathroom by Frank E. Page

Bathrooms often prove to be the most difficult design challenge in a home because they require several large fixtures in a small space. Homeowners are often tempted by beautiful large tubs that may overfill their space or materials that may be difficult to maintain. Frank can help you design your bath to be both beautiful and functional.

A Well-Designed Lighting Plan:
• Creates the right atmosphere for various activities in your bathroom.
• Vertical fixtures or sconces will help cast more even light across the face when performing daily grooming rituals, avoiding shadows often created by lighting placed above the mirror.
• Natural light or ambient light serves to lift the spirit and brighten the mood.
• Accent lighting highlights architectural features or creates a focal point in the room.
Wise Bathroom Choices
• Be wary of some handmade products for the bathroom. While unglazed sinks may offer a unique visual appeal, they may fail to meet code. If you have any question in your mind, you can always speak to Frank before making a purchase.
• Don't make decisions based on style or color alone. Just like when you shop for cars, you have to focus beyond color and style and also consider quality.
• Prorate the costs. Determine how long you would like your products or materials to last. An expensive product that will last for 20 years may be a better choice than a cheaper one that will one that may have to be replaced in 5 years. Always consider how long you plan on staying in your home when selecting materials.

Final Touches
Bathroom hardware is the final touch to a successful decorating theme. From electrical switch plates, to towel rings, to cabinetry knobs and pulls, your hardware should consistently reflect the style of your bathroom. Frank's interior designers can help you select the finishing touches for your home spa retreat.  Call Frank at 585-544-8582 or contact him online today.
