Do you dream of a quiet get-away where you can relax and get pampered? You don’t have to be rich to afford a luxurious retreat in your own home. And your local San Antonio, TX plumber can help your dream come true.
Sometimes, homeowners forget that just because something was built a certain way doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. Every family uses their home differently, so it makes sense to change things to make them better for you.
Before any remodeling project, consider what additions would make your life easier and, maybe, spoil you and your loved ones in the process. Then, discuss your plans with your plumber. They will be able to give you an estimate for the work, so you know where your limits are.
So, go ahead! Let your plumber help you customize your home for maximum efficiency, style, and luxury.
Transform Your Ho-Hum Master Bathroom
Space is often at a minimum in the master bathroom, so many homeowners don’t realize its potential. Whether you have a half or full bathroom for the master bedroom, there are ways your San Antonio, TX plumber can make the most of it.
First, you could invest in a low-flow toilet, which will save money and look great. You can add a premium toilet seat made from hardwood to match your cabinetry, adding a touch of style without taking up any extra room.
Another way to bring a stylish flair is to customize your bathroom for your specific needs. One great way to do this and avoid a morning traffic jam in the master bath is to add a second sink. This is especially helpful when the sinks are moved to a dressing alcove outside the toilet area.
With sinks side by side, you could mirror the entire wall space above the sinks. Mirrors help a room seem larger, which is perfect for most master and half bathrooms. With the dual sinks side by side, you could choose large, ornate mirrors and similarly styled fixtures. Or, if you prefer more of a cottage feeling, you could choose mirrors that have a warm and natural look. A simple wood frame around each would lend a cozy atmosphere.
If you choose a more modern aesthetic for the room, there are some great artisan designs in today’s sinks. You can choose from slim-line, space-conserving pedestal sinks in a variety of colors and textures, for example.
You owe it to yourself to update your bland master bathroom. Plus, these types of renovations can add value to your home, in case you ever want to sell it.
Create a Professional Modern Kitchen
Say goodbye to your cramped, unorganized kitchen and hello to a sleek, professional-style kitchen. Polished stainless steel appliances and sinks really accent the finish of modern appliances. Talk to your plumber about upgrading your new kitchen sinks with low-flow technology and other money saving options.
Don’t be afraid to step away from the norm when designing your new kitchen. Many old-fashioned fixtures are making a comeback in high style. For instance, the old, over-sized country kitchen sink is very popular, and not just in cottage decor. Your San Antonio, TX plumber can guide you in finding the most trustworthy brands, so you get high-quality products.
Another consideration is the faucet and fixture design. Developed for both form and function, you can get faucets in every shape and for every use. Think about how you use your kitchen sink and look for features that accommodate your individual needs.
If you do a lot of cooking, you may want to consider switching from an electric stove to a gas model. Many chefs prefer gas stoves and for good reason. When you turn on a gas burner, you get instant heat. When you turn it off, you don’t have to allow for time to cool down. Your plumber can install a gas stove with enough space to cook for the whole family.
Upgrade Your Bathroom to a Luxury Spa
You’ve seen the pictures of the people coming home from a hard day and sinking into a hot tub of relaxing warm water. You can have a taste of that kind of pampering in your home, too.
Claw-foot tubs have been around for years, long before the built-in fiberglass versions were around. They lend an air of style and old-world charm in any decor. Even tall people can enjoy a good soak in these deep vessels.
If you are more of a shower person, there are some excellent additions to that category, as well. Your plumber can install multi-directional shower heads, with controls that can adjust the water pressure from gentle rain to massage.
Then there is the ultimate in bathing indulgence: the home spa or whirlpool. With its multiple jets, you can literally wash away the soreness from the day.
Add a Guest Bathroom
What better way to spoil your guests than to install a bathroom just for them? Even a half bathroom will provide improved privacy and convenience for your visitors.
Recently, there have been several trends that add much-needed space and privacy for the owners and their guests, including tiny homes, home offices, guest cottages, and personal “she-sheds” or “man-caves”. The addition of a bathroom to any of these outer buildings would be greatly appreciated by whoever uses it.
Adding bathrooms, whether half or full, is a great way to increase the value of your property, too. That makes it more of an investment than a splurge.
Install an Outdoor Shower
Another modern trend is the outdoor shower. They provide much-needed relief from the summer sun and a handy place to wash the mud or filth off before you go in the house. If you have a pool, outdoor showers are perfect for a clean-up before swimming and rinsing the chemicals off after your swim.
