4 DIY Bath Towel Storage Ideas

Wouldn't you love to have a bigger bathroom without the large price tag that comes along with a full renovation? Well, it’s quite possible. Let’s start by getting your bathroom organized and getting rid of clutter. You’ll be amazed and how much extra space you’ll have.

Getting the bathroom organized starts with storage. Sure, you might have a cabinet or a drawer already in place, but is that enough? If your bathroom still feels cluttered than the answer is most definitely, no. It’s time to come up with a few clever storage solutions that you can build yourself - most of them are quick and simple:

• Hang baskets on the wall. All you need is a couple of screws, a screwdriver and some wire baskets. They’ll be perfect for storing towels and toilet paper.
• Hang a few towel racks. It’s common to see a towel rack in a bathroom, but why stop at just one? Hanging a few on the back of the door is an excellent way to store more than one towel. Plus, they’ll look better back there than stuffed into a corner or placed on top of the counter.
• Don’t throw out that old wine rack. Roll your towels instead of folding them flat and place them on a wine rack. Not only can you store a bunch of towels at once, it’ll add a bit artistic creativity to your bathroom.
• Not into the towel rack or wine rack ideas? Hang a few antique door knobs on the wall. They act like hooks but add more character.

Tips For Choosing a Bathroom Vanity

You have no problem picking out your clothes in the morning and you can always make up your mind when it comes to what to eat for dinner. But picking out a bathroom vanity, now that’s another story. A vanity can make a bold statement in any bathroom and can serve as the most practical piece of furniture in the room - but you need to know what to look for before you begin shopping around.

Styles

Casual: this type of vanity is built to be practical and functional. If lots of storage space is a must with a simple and inviting style, this type of vanity won’t disappoint.

Traditional: looking for a more elegant look? Traditional vanities tend to feature beautiful trimming and styling on polished woods and metals. Much more decorative and is the perfect solution for a master bathroom.

Contemporary: sleek edge lines and minimalist designs create a contemporary vanity’s cutting-edge style.

Finishes

There are lots of different finishes to choose from depending on your style. Solid wood such as birch, pine or oak can be used as well as polished stone, veneer or laminates.

4 Easy DIY Bathroom Projects

Not all bathroom projects have to cost and arm and a leg. In fact, there are lots of ways to spruce up a boring bath without spending much money at all. And what’s even better is that most of these projects don’t require hiring a professional - you can do it yourself! So, if your boring bathroom could use a little tender loving care, try a few of the crafts below:

1. Add Shelving: not enough space to store your towels or toiletries? There’s a simple solution - add shelving! With a few pieces of plywood, some paint and a drill you’ll be able to keep your things organized for just a few dollars. Pro Tip: adding corner shelving is an excellent way to make use of otherwise unused space.
   
2. Add Seating: have a large bathroom where you need to fill some empty space? Add a bench or seating to give it more of a spa-like ambiance. You can build it yourself out of reclaimed wood or head over to the local thrift store.
   
3. Paint the Vanity: a little bit of color goes a long way. If you’re tired of looking at the same boring colors every day, grab a can of paint and a brush and get going on the vanity. Use colors such as green or red if you’re feeling bold.
   
4. Swap Out the Shower Curtain: feeling cramped in the shower? No, you don’t need to replace the entire shower you can simply add a curved shower rod instead of the straight bar you’re using now. We also recommend replacing the old curtain with updated fabric. Go for a nautical theme or exquisite patterns to create a focal point.

Wall Surrounds & Wainscoting

When you think of bathroom walls we’re going to guess that paint or tile are the first, and maybe the only, two things that come to mind. Well, there’s plenty more options that can really take the look and feel of your bathroom to a whole new level. And no, we’re not talking about wallpaper either - we’re talking about beautiful wall surrounds and Wainscoting. Learn more about the two below:

Wall Surrounds

Re-Bath® offers you a large assortment of proprietary, one-of-a-kind, designer wall colors to bring out the style of your new dream bath. This is where your creativity and design taste comes into play. Choose from over 9 different patterns, including patented designs to add that personal and elegant touch. Accentuate your new dream bath with borders, sophisticated shower heads and hardware, top-of-the-line soap dishes and the perfect shower enclosures for the final design features.

Wainscoting

Installing Wainscoting has a number of significant advantages for both appearance and function. From a design perspective, wainscoting can "open up" an otherwise small area and give the appearance of a larger space. Wainscoting is also an ideal way to add an interior design feature to your bathroom that offers an elegant addition of color, style, texture or pattern. Wainscoting is also an ideal way to protect the walls outside your tub and shower from the normal "wear and tear" common in the bathroom area.

Just when you thought you only had two options - paint or tile. To learn more about wall surrounds or Wainscoting, don’t hesitate to give the expert bathroom remodelers at Re-Bath of Richmond a call today! 804-591-1621.

6 Bathroom Cleaning Hacks We're Loving Right Now

Is there anybody out there who actually enjoys cleaning the bathroom? Sure, most of us can appreciate a clean bathroom, but we’re talking about the actual process of scrubbing away dirt and grime. Well, if you fall into the “I despise cleaning” category we’ve got some hacks for you that will make your life much easier.

1. Looking for a way to keep your lotions and hair care products organized? Add spice racks to the wall to keep them tidy.
2. Have stubborn lime stains in the bathtub or shower pan? Use a pumice stone to scrub them away.
3. Clean the shower head by soaking it in a plastic bag filled with distilled vinegar. This will help wash away mineral buildup.
4. Don’t have enough elbow grease for a deep cleaning? Attach a sponge or a soft brush to a power drill.
5. Ditch the Windex and fire up a cup of warm black tea. Why, you ask? Black tea works wonders at cleaning mirrors.
6. Put down the chemicals and create your own toilet cleaner instead. Mix vinegar and baking soda in the bowl and scrub clean with a toilet brush.

Safe Alternatives To Harmful Bathroom Sprays

Did you know that most commercial bathroom sprays and air fresheners contain chemicals that can be detrimental to your health? Let’s face it, we’ve all been in a situation where the bathroom didn’t smell like spring roses and it can be quite embarrassing at times. But there’s no need to worry - about that smell or about your health - because with a DIY recipe, you’ll be able to get rid of that foul odor fast!

Put a Few Dabs on the Roll

The first safer alternative to toxic bathroom sprays involves choosing your favorite essential oil. All you need to do is put a few droplets of the oil on the inside of the toilet paper roll and the scent will release into the air as you pull sheets of paper. It’s that simple!

DIY Poo Pourri

The second option is to create your own Poo Pourri spray. Again, the process is extremely simple and will have your bathroom smelling fresh for hours. Follow the steps below:

1. Find a small spray bottle. You can purchase one anywhere toiletries are sold or you can use an old hairspray bottle.
2. Use distilled or bottled water as the base of your spray. Tap water will work too, except it may have traces of other minerals that could alter the scent.
3. Mix in a bit of rubbing alcohol or witch hazel. This will will the water and oils mix better.
4. Use 100% natural Essential oils. Find your favorite scent and add a few drops to the mixture. You may find that you want to add more for a stronger scent.
5. Spray the bowl before using.

3 Reasons To Choose Low-Flow Bath Fixtures

Did you know that the average family uses roughly 400 gallons of water per day? Astonishing, right? Well, did you know that you can cut back drastically on the amount of water you use by swapping out your old bathroom fixtures with low-flow options?

Shower Heads

Ever wonder how much water you use while you take a shower? Older, more inefficient shower heads can push through more than 5 gallons of water per minute. Think about how much time you spend in the shower each day. Eco friendly fixtures can use up to 30% less water without sacrificing performance.

Faucets

When it comes to bathroom faucets we understand that performance is key. Worried that you won’t be able to find a style and design that meets your taste? Don’t be. There’s an eco friendly option out there for everyone that will look spectacular in your bathroom while using 32% less water or more!

Toilets

Homeowners often worry when it comes to the thought of a low-flow toilet. Sure, it will save some water but will it still have enough flushing power to properly dispose of waste? You better believe it! Since gravity can only do so much, pressurized air was introduced to toilets to push water into and through the bowl more forcefully. Trust us when we say there’s no need to worry.

Bathroom remodeling can be a stressful and expensive process, especially if you try to do it yourself. You need a company that you can trust to convert your old, dingy bathroom into something that you will be proud to use. That's where we come in. Contact the experts at Re-Bath of Richmond today!

How To Organize Your Bathroom To Eliminate Clutter

Picture walking into a bathroom where it feels open and airy. Not because it’s so huge that you could get lost in it, but because everything has a place and it isn’t filled with clutter. Whether your current bathroom is bursting at the seams or you just want to get a bit more organized, we’ve got some tips to help you out.

The first step is to clear the shelves that you already have. Instead of stuffing them with towels, try hanging them on the back of the door or have a towel bar installed. Then use the empty shelf space to store the items on the counter.

Then group items together. For example, use a lunchbox to store your toiletries, bandages and miscellaneous first aid items. This way you’ll know exactly where everything is when you need it and you can keep it stored underneath the sink.

Another way to make your bathroom look tidy is to have shelving installed in the shower. Rather than having shampoo and conditioner bottles sprawled out across the shower pan or tub, store them neatly on a rack or shelf. Not only will it make your shower feel more spacious, it can eliminate the danger of slipping and falling.

There are lots of additional ways to take control of the bathroom and keep it organized. Contact the experts at Re-Bath of Richmond to find out how we can help and don’t forget to connect with us on Facebook to learn more!

Trend Alert: Back To Black

Take your bathroom from drab to fab by changing up a few colors. We’re not talking sparkling silver or glittery gold, we’re talking about going back to black. Mix in a few black fixtures or black accents in the tile and you’ll be well on your way to a bathroom that screams sophistication and excitement!

Sick and tired of your old boring bathroom? There are lots of ways to make it look and feel much different without breaking the bank on an entire renovation. A few changes here and there can make a world of difference. See below to find out how you can make a bold statement by adding black:

• Black Fixtures: whether you want to start with one fixture at a time or completely overhaul what you currently have, switching to black fixtures can make a world of difference. Try changing the showerhead or the faucet for starters.
• Black Tiles: when it comes to bathroom flooring and wall options, tile still tends to be the most common. Whether you prefer subway tiles or a more modern look, going with a white and black color scheme will surely give it the pop you’re looking for.
• Black Storage Shelves: like built-in storage? Want to add a mobile storage cart? Either way, going with black shelving is a great way to make a statement in your bathroom.
• Black Accents: not sure if swapping out the fixtures or the tiles is a smart decision? You can add some black to the bathroom with decorative towels, a toilet paper holder or shower curtain. If you like the look, you can always swap out certain features down the road.

5 Hot Bathroom Flooring Trends

You’re ready to remodel your old bathroom and you’ve got the sink, the toilet and the rest of the fixtures picked out. But have you taken any time to think about the floor? Bathroom floors are a major part of the renovation project but are often overlooked. So before you make all final decisions, consider these 5 hot bathroom flooring trends:

1. Ceramic Tile: if you’re looking for a flooring option that will stand up to water and humidity and last for years to come, ceramic tile is the choice for you. Not only is it visually appealing, it won’t go out of style and if for any reason a tile should crack or break, replacing it shouldn’t be an issue. With lots of color and design options, there’s a style for everybody.
2. Heated Floors: hate waking up to cold feet? Heated tile floors will become your new best friend. And prices have come down over the last couple of years so don’t hesitate to look into the heating options.
3. Wood-Looking Tile: you may have been to a friend or family member’s house and noticed what looked like wood floors in their bathroom. While it could have actually been real wood, chances are it was tile that looks like wood. This new trend requires very little maintenance and is virtually unscratchable.
4. Clean Look: if you like look of a pristine bathroom, you can’t go wrong with white tile. Subway patterns have been a hit this year and has been for a few years now.
5. Customize Your Oasis: you spend lots of time in the bathroom each day, whether you realize it or not, so why not make it your own? Don’t be afraid to experiment with unique designs, arrangements, and surfaces. You can even mix and match if you’re feeling extra creative!
