Vancouver Bathroom Renovators

1.       A Bright Colored Bathroom

In spring, colors are bright and bold, just like the flowers. The colors of the season are sure to brighten up anyone’s mood. Whether you stick to one shade or multiple colors, don’t be afraid of adding new color! Many people tend to shy away from bright colors by using neutral color combinations. While a neutral palette is a great go-to color choice, this spring we challenge you to brighten up your bathroom with something bolder and fresh. Review Pantone’s color combinations for inspiration. The color of the year, Radiant Orchid, is a great choice for a spring inspired bathroom.

2.       A Nature Inspired Bathroom 

Bathrooms don’t have to be dull. This spring, bring the blossoming flowers and crisp air into your bathroom with a nature inspired bathroom. Nature generally encourages a calm environment that promotes a sense of well being. You can create this look by installing bathroom accessories that mimic nature. For example, a sink shaped as a leaf. Another way to play on this nature inspired theme, is by incorporating nature. Bring in some plants or a tiny garden – if you have the space of course! You can also install large windows that allow you to see the greenery outside your bathroom walls. Whichever way you choose to bring in the outside, we’re sure it look splendid!

3.       An Energy Saving Bathroom

Another trend this spring is saving energy through the use of environmentally friendly bathroom products and materials. You can easily install new and improved toilets, bathtubs and showers. Just look for the WaterSense Label and BathTime Innovations will install it in just one day! Also consider upgrading the lighting in your bathroom by using LED lighting or CFL light bulbs. It will not only look great, it will help you save money and the environment!

4.       Secure & Safe Bathroom

A beautiful looking bathroom will also need to provide security and safety. Especially after a shower, it is easy to slip and fall. To avoid this, we encourage you to the install grab bars. While you may associate grab bars with seniors, it is in fact necessary for all ages. You’ll be happy knowing you’ll avoid a fall just by installing one. Another way to improve safety is to convert your current bathtub into a walk-in bathtub. This may sound like a time-consuming project, but BathTime Innovations is here to help – we can install new bathtubs in just one day!

5 Steps to a Squeaky Clean Bathroom

With Spring Cleaning on its way, it is a sure bet that your bathroom could use some TLC. If your cabinets are overflowing, and you’re unable to make out the colors of your shower tiles, then your bathroom definitely needs some sprucing up. If the words “Spring Cleaning” leave you feeling overwhelmed, take a breath and follow Bathtime Innovations 5 simple steps. 

Toss

The first thing to do when cleaning your bathroom is to get rid of any old or unwanted items. Sometimes there are items in your bathroom that take up space for absolutely no reason. Go through every item in your bathroom and ask yourself whether you truly need it or not. Questions to ask yourself include: Is it a necessity? Does it add value? Does it act as storage space? Does it keep your bathroom organized? Finally, the last thing to remember: if you toss out items that you don’t need, you’ll have less to clean!

Dust

The next step is to dust off counter tops, the vent/fan, ceilings and corners. Don’t forget to also dust off any wall art that you have hanging in your bathroom. Many items can accumulate dust, therefore the best case scenario is to dust everything in sight. To prevent the accumulation of dust in the future, keep windows closed, change air filters every so often, use entrance mats, and clean regularly.

Wash

After dusting, it’s time to wash certain items including drapes or curtains, windows, and mirrors. Also, scrub down your toilet, bathtub and shower to make sure everything in sight is squeaky clean. A helpful tip is to use cotton swaps to get into tight corners. You’ll likely spend most of your spring cleaning time washing and cleaning off dirt, therefore consider playing music to make the experience more enjoyable.

Organize

Now that everything in your bathroom is clean, it is time to visit the items that you kept and re-organize their placement. Consider unique storage ideas, such as placing a towel basket on the floor or adding additional shelf space for toiletries. Since you have thrown out all the unnecessary items in step 1, it will be much easier to re-organize your bathroom space.
