Creating the Dream Home By Updating Plumbing Fixtures
The kitchen and bathroom of a home reveal a lot about the homeowners' personalities and send a message to potential visitors. Kitchen sinks and faucets have come a long way and span a range from base functionality to touch-free class. Trends in bathroom remodeling include luxurious contemporary and modern styles that allow homeowners to design a spa right in their own homes!
Modern Kitchen Fixtures
Many homeowners opt for the single basin, deep sink installation to accommodate large pots and pans from large gatherings rather than the traditional two basin sinks. Kitchen sink replacement by an inexperienced DIYer could damage the unit or the countertop.
Undermount sinks are installed below the countertop and offer a flush, modern look. Integrated quartz sinks offer a sink with a sleek look and seamless transition for easy clean-up. Apron sinks are used in farmhouse-style kitchens and offer a timeless, classic appeal. Integrated marble sinks can be transitioned into a luxury marble countertop made from the same marble. Adding a touch-free faucet allows for water on demand with no mess or fuss.
Trendy Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms that are bright and full of natural light with white tile and clean lines portray modern and contemporary design. Subway tile with deep soaking tubs or built-in, walk-in shower upgrade with brown or gray tile adds a touch of elegance to the space regardless of how much space there is to work with.
A smaller vanity can enhance smaller spaces in a darker color and bright white subway tiles in a walk-in shower with sliding glass doors rather than swing-out doors. Sliding glass doors with a similar finish to modern plumbing fixtures add a specific touch of class and flair compared to previous generations' sliding glass doors. One can insert recessed lights into the ceiling of tile showers to offer alternative sources of natural-looking light for spaces that don't have access to windows.
The Importance of Hiring a Professional
Attempting a DIY bathroom remodel or kitchen plumbing update can be a daunting task to undertake for any homeowner. Hiring a licensed, insured professional can ease anxiety and offer peace of mind.
Professionals work with homeowners to design updated spaces with materials that work in the space without compromising the integrity of any materials used. Homeowners don't always know that mold can grow in bathrooms that are remodeled improperly. If pipes burst in a bathroom wall with no access panel after a remodel, the wall has to be completely removed to access the pipes and complete repairs.
Bathrooms or kitchens that are not done to updated building code could impact the ability to sell the house because a home inspector will determine that repairs weren't done by a professional. Faucet installation is relatively inexpensive and easily done by a professional.
