Who Else Wants an Extra Bathroom?

By Thorklids Hammerss

A house does not only need to look great on the outside but on the inside as well. This is the primary reason why homeowners do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire the best architects, engineer, contractors and interior designers in town just so they can achieve their ideal homes.

Most of the time, in order to achieve a gorgeous abode, blueprints is carefully drawn up so that the interior designs may be matched to it perfectly. This ensures that the personality of the homeowner is well imprinted and reflected on the house. Those with discerning taste even take a step further by utilizing hands on approach.

While each person has a different comfort zone in the house depending upon his inclination, the bathroom remains as one of the top choices as a relaxing spot because this is where one can rejuvenate him after a hard day's work. It is where all the stress and tension of office work can be washed away in the shower along with the dirt and grime of the body caused by a polluted environment. It can also serve as a soothing lounge if one has the capacity to buy a fancy Jacuzzi. Just imagine soaking in a luxurious bubble bath after coming from a migraine-inducing meeting. It sounds perfect, doesn't it?

If your house is filled to the brim with your young kids and hyperactive teenagers, an additional bathroom is called for. This is because a single bathroom is not enough to accommodate all of the house occupants at a single time. There is always the probability of having an argument on who goes first since everyone is raring to arrive on time at school or at the office.

Usually, parents argue that they must use the bathroom first because they have to beat the Bundy clock so that no deduction in their salary would be made. On the other hand, kids throw tantrums because they know that if they arrive late in class, they will be sent to detention later on.

Admittedly, it requires a sizeable amount of cash to have an extra bathroom added in your abode. You have to weigh the options if the benefits are greater than the cost. If it's not, you might be better off making a solid schedule for the bathroom use. However if you have extra savings, go for it.

After making the crucial decision, check out if you have a decent plumbing system that will adequately support your new project. Connecting pipes are important to provide you with sufficient water supply. If you don't have a well-established set of pipes, then it might be a big problem. The solution to this woe is to add more pipes, thereby increasing your expenses, or transferring the bathroom to a different area.

Then, you should focus on the design and color. You may put up tiles with simple prints or geometric patterns. If you want a relaxing place, paint the room with cool shades like aquamarine blue or mint green.

Last but not the least; make sure that the shower head, drainage system, faucet and sink are working at an optimum level. After all, a bathroom will not be a fun place to be if the fixtures are defective.
