Now Trending: Showers and Tubs Have Separated

A shower and bathtub combo is a match made in heaven, right? Wrong. Apparently, things have gotten rocky between the two. They have made the mature decision to separate. Don't worry, they are still very civil and can still be in the same (bath)room. Let's face it: they just weren't functional together. You either take a shower or a bath; never both at the same time. Here at Re-Bath of Richmond, we offer many options for showers and bathtubs. 

Hit the Showers
Glass shower enclosures are all the rage these days. They add a sleek, modern touch to the space. Glass is another great way to make a room look bigger because they attract natural light into the space. 

Scrub a Dub Dub in the Tub

For people who love to relax and unwind after a hard days work, bathtubs are perfect for you. In addition to traditional bathtubs, we also offer walk-in tubs. Walk-in tubs are a great option for people who have trouble with mobility. 

If you are looking to put your home on the market, having a separate shower and tub in your en suite will appeal to potential buyers. It gives the allure of luxury. Regardless of whether you are looking to sell your house in the near future or not, having a separate shower and tub can help you create the bathroom of your dreams. The professionally trained staff here at Re-Bath of Richmond is ready to help you make your dream bathroom a reality!

How to Optimize Space in Your Bathroom

The petite powder room on the first floor of your home is not as functional as it could be. When it comes to small bathrooms, the size doesn't matter as much as how you utilize the space you do have. A small bathroom can be stylish and functional at the same time. Here are some tips that will help you make your bathroom appear larger while making the most of the space you do have.

Optical Illusions 

The best way to make the space look bigger is through the use of optical illusions. Glass fixtures are perfect in small bathrooms because they anchor the room and attract natural light into the space. Here at Re-Bath of Richmond, we offer mirrors and glass shower doors that would make any bathroom look bigger. Whether your style is elegant or modern chic, we carry a variety of designs that are bound to catch your eye. 

Put It In Storage

If your bathroom currently looks like toiletries galore, listen up. Installing floating storage units or storage units underneath the sink could be a real space saver. All of your toiletries should have a home. Best of all, storage units don't have to be unsightly bins. They can actually enhance the style that you are going for and increase the functionality of the space. It's a two-for-one deal!

Bathroom Design Tips

A bathroom renovation is a big undertaking, one that needs an ample amount of money and time. At Re-Bath of Richmond, we understand that time is money. To make the most of both, here are some design tips that will keep your en suite on the cutting edge of bathroom decor.

Flying Colors

When it comes to color this season, there are two ways to go--bold or neutral. For a small powder room, we recommend going bold. A bright pop of color can add an element of drama to a tiny bathroom. Conversely, you might want to stick to a neutral color palette for an en suite. This will create a relaxing atmosphere that will help you unwind at the end of a long work day.

Floating in Mid Air

Floating vanities are all the rage right now. Now only will a floating vanity add a chic touch, it will also free up some more space and make the bathroom feel larger. It's definitely a win-win situation!

Turn Some (Shower) Heads

Nothing says modern and chic quite like a funky shower head. Not matter how traditional or eclectic your taste is, stainless steel shower heads are a great design option. Another big trend on the rise right now is having multiple shower heads. Sometimes, more is more.

If you have any questions about the design of your new bathroom, we will be here to answer them every step of the way. At Re-Bath of Richmond, we offer the best products from the most trusted and popular brands in the business.

Bathroom Renovation Checklist

Was it the outdated decor or the brown spots in the grout that sent you over the edge? The reason why you are finally taking the plunge to redo your bathroom doesn't matter. It's about time! Before you dive into this project head first, here are some things you should factor in to just get your feet wet. 

Money, Money, Money!

First and foremost, start with a realistic budget that you feel comfortable committing to. If are not sure of the exact amount you'd like to spend, give yourself a practical range to work with. That way, you can set a limit on the amount of money you can spend on it. 

Time is of the Essence 

Next, be realistic with yourself if this is the best time in your life to commit to a substantial project. Even though you yourself may not be installing new cabinetry, renovations can be very stressful on homeowners. In some cases, bathroom renovations can take longer than initially expected. If you are at a crossroads in your life or simply do not have the time to spare, it may be best to hold off on a renovation.

Expect the Unexpected

Don't be surprised if your bathroom renovation isn't exactly smooth sailing. When remodeling any room in your home, especially bathrooms, problems hidden in the walls and floors are brought to fruition. It's better to be safe and pay now than to be sorry and pay up later. 

Let Your Personality Shine Through

Have a specific design in mind. If you are having trouble figuring out what that is, you can always do a quick Google search of the latest bathroom decor trends or consult with one of our design specialists. Here at Re-Bath of Richmond, we can help you find the perfect design and decor for your new dream bathroom. Since we offer so many quality products in an abundance of different styles, there is something for everyone.

The Benefits of Walk-In Tubs

It's time to say goodbye to traditional bathtubs. Here at Re-Bath of Richmond, we love the new alternative to traditional tubs: walk-in tubs. In addition to giving your bathroom a modern touch, there are many benefits associated with walk-in tubs.

Most importantly, walk-in tubs are much safer than traditional bathtubs. No more balancing on one foot like a flamingo just to climb in and out of the tub. Walk-in tubs are great for people who have challenges with mobility. 

Walk-in tubs also take up less space in your bathroom than traditional tubs. This will make your bathroom feel more spacious and inviting. After all, your en suite should be your own personal paradise! At Re-Bath of Richmond, we offer many different designs and sizes of walk-in tubs that are sure to accommodate all your needs. 

Last but certainly not least, walk-in tubs offer the utmost relaxation for bathing. Instead of laying in a traditional tub, walk-in tubs have a comfortable seat in them. Sitting in an upright position in the tub makes reading a good book while bathing possible. 

Here at Re-Bath of Richmond, your safety and comfort are our main priorities. We will work with you to find the perfect walk-in tub that suits your home and lifestyle. If you are interested in ditching your traditional tub for a walk-in tub, give us a call today at 804-591-1621. You'll be "Splish Splash I was takin' a bath" in no time!
