To come up with your X, I suggest you first of all have an idea of what mood you want your bathroom to be. Then determine the style, and lastly the materials. When we have come to undeniable conclusion on all three, we will have a pretty good idea of what your X is.

Of course the family bathroom, should meet the highest requirements in terms of durability, practicality and robustness.

Style can be a vague and confusing term. So let’s cut to the chase and assume, just for the sake of X, that your style is a combination of many, a neo-eclectic, which is actually typical of the modern day home. A mix of details borrowed from traditions, times and places.

The rules are, there are no rules. Hence, your bathroom remodeling is uniquely and entirely your own. It can be the perfect family bathroom, or a dream come true type bathroom.

Now let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, X!

The materials you choose will have a major impact on X. This time there are rules.

Just keep in mind, bathrooms need moisture control. Therefore, your choice of tiles, flooring, walls and windows need to be appropriate for their location to ensure that they will last a lifetime!

The options for managing moisture in bathrooms are:

  • Good ventilation.
  • Extraction fans
  • Window joinery
  • Keeping the bathroom warm and dry through heating.
  • Good insulation to reduce condensation and mold growth.
  • Wedi waterproof products

Flooring: Typically, tile, laminate or vinyl are the best flooring choices for bathrooms because they repel water and can help prevent water damage.

Laminate: $3-$7 per square foot, installed
Vinyl: $1-$7 per square foot, installed
Ceramic or Porcelain Tile: $4-$12 per square foot, installed

For a bigger roomier feel to your bathroom, Light gives an airy, open feeling. However, dark anchors and creates definition. There really is no difference in cost. It’s a matter of personal choice and how the rest of the bathroom furnishings and walls compliment or contrast with the flooring.

One of the greatest things about tiles is the variety of ways to lay them. You are not restricted to straight course. Tiles can be laid in a variety of ways.

For example: Typically tiles are laid straight or on the diagonal. The “V” in the diagonal tends to create an opening affect which in turn makes your bathroom appear larger. Some people like that.  Others want something more dramatic. They want a little more style.
