1 – Shower Space
It can be uncomfortable to feel cramped, as though the walls are closing
in on you. You should not feel like that when you are having personal
time to yourself in the shower. The shower is supposed to be a few moments
of comfort, when nothing is bothering you. A cramped shower can infringe
on that comfort and you will want to rush through the shower.
A lot of people are doing a bit of bathroom remodeling to maximize their
shower space. Some of the options are inexpensive and simple to install,
like a curved shower rod.
2 – Adding a Sound System in the Bathroom
When you go into the bathroom to take a shower, do you find yourself singing
tunes under your breath? A lot of people do. You can admit it. Some people
even make a point to bring a bulky boombox into their bathroom with them.
But that is inconvenient. Others will try to bring their phones with them
and hook them up to speakers. But that is not good for your phone and
is also inconvenient.
An increasingly common bathroom remodeling maneuver is to install a stereo
system in your bathroom with waterproof, digital controls right in the
shower with you.
3 – You are tired of standing.
Some people are inclined to take a bath rather than a shower because they
do not want to stand during that time. Who could blame them? They had
a long day at work or perhaps they did not get a good night’s rest,
and the last thing they want to do is stand in the shower. The sit down
shower is becoming a more popular solution to this problem. This simple
innovation has a low shower head hovering over a bathtub so that you can
just sit comfortably and enjoy your shower.
4 – You want a night light.
When you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, you
will either do one of two things. First, you might go in the bathroom,
turn on the lights and be blinded by how potent it is. Second, you might
go in and stumble around, looking for the toilet and the sink or the towels,
knocking things over and maybe even breaking something or tripping over
the cat. Many toilets come equipped with a nightlight that activates when
it detects your presence.
5 – Getting Married
That special someone is moving into your home. You are probably wondering
what you can do to accommodate that and make them more comfortable.
Have you considered the space that they are going to use in the bathroom?
It might be a worthy investment to have a second sink installed. You do
not want to have to wait impatiently for the other person to finish using
the bathroom before you can get ready for work. Also, there might be a
lot of clutter if both of you are using the same sink.
6 – Eco-Friendly
With the rising concerns about our impact on the environment, you are probably
wondering what sort of habits you can develop that will have a positive
impact. Well, paper and plastic are not the only resources that you can
preserve. You can preserve water.
While water is the most abundant substance on earth, there are still parts
of the civilized world that are enduring droughts, particularly California.
Water needs to be preserved. There are several upgrades that you can make
in your bathroom that will make this easier.
• Low-flow toilets
• Low-flow shower heads
• A light that comes on when you have used enough water
• Motion sensor faucet
• Switch to LED lights
7 – Save Energy
You have enough bills piling up already. You sit down every month and figure
out your budget, determine when you are going to pay your bills and it
can be a frustrating experience. You try to determine where you can save
some money.
By making a few upgrades in the bathroom, you can reduce your energy bills
so that it will be a bit less daunting. You can also reduce your heat
bill by installing new windows and preventing the winter weather from
trespassing in your bathroom.
8 – Resale Value
It is time to move! You landed that new job in the big city and it is time
to get out of town. But you need to sell your Ruston home and maximize
profits. Since people spend so much time in the bathroom, it is one of
the first rooms that they look at. If it looks like every other bathroom
that they have ever been in, they might turn their attention to the house
down the street or ask you how firm you are on the asking price.
9 – You want change.
Sometimes you just need something new. You need to feel like a different
person. A few bathroom upgrades is a great option and can make you much happier.
10 – New Designs
You see all of the potential out there, all of the possible upgrades and
the new designs and you do not want to be left behind. The bathroom experience
is changing fast, and you should do what you can to make the most of it.

these changes, call Mark Johnson Plumbing at (318) 257-6167
