Designing the Ultimate Bathroom

Designing the Ultimate Bathroom

Bathroom designs vary from person to person whether the focus is mobility, design, or luxury. No matter what aspect you try to focus on, designing the ultimate bathroom includes the following considerations: Space Not all homeowners are lucky enough to have a large bathroom, however it isn’t always about size, but the way you utilize it. Even the smallest bathroom can be improve immensely with the right design. The floor plan will dictate how space is used and contribute to the overall functionality of the bathroom. When looking at your space consider all of the things you want to incorporate from your wish list and work with your contractor to make it happen. Budget Everyone will be working with a different budget for the bathroom renovations Ottawa contractors will provide. You have to look at the maximum amount you can afford and then make sure part of that money is set aside for your contingency plan. Bathroom renovations can often lead to unexpected costs and by including a contingency budget you will be certain to have more than enough to handle whatever happens. You can then use any leftover money for higher end finishes such as lighting and faucets. Dream Idea Even for the most functional bathroom reno you will have a dream idea in mind. Whether you collect photos from magazines, print off some ideas you have found online or have a design style such as boutique hotel or sleek and modern, incorporating your dream ideas into the design will make sure your bathroom renovation is a success. Design details to consider include flooring, tub and tiles, but it is also very important to consider the dream aspects of function as well such as storage, lighting for applying makeup and shaving, heated floors, double sinks and solutions to improve aspects of your current bathroom that you hate. Finding a Contractor Your bathroom renovation requires knowledge in many areas from plumbing to electrical and tile laying to understanding how to prevent leaks. That means you do not want to trust your bathroom renovations to just anyone. Do your research and ask around for a referral. If you do not find a referral look for a contractor who has knowledge in bathroom renovations with a website that explains their services. You also want to find a contractor with plenty of testimonials and photos of the work they have done in the past. These elements work together to create the ultimate bathroom renovations Ottawa loves.  To get in touch to schedule renovations, you can fill out an online form or give us a call at (613) 727-9427.

Creating a Warm & Inviting Living Space

Creating a Warm & Inviting Living Space

Homes can often feel cold, unlived in and unwelcoming, thankfully there are several things you can do to make your home feel more comfortable. By creating a warm and inviting living space, your guests will feel more welcome when visiting, and are more likely to drop by for another visit. Here are some home renovations you should consider when creating a warm & inviting living space: A Splash of Colour Using warm colours such as beige, yellow, orange and pink will create a cozy and comfortable space. There are many ways to use colour to create interest such as using a darker colour on an accent wall. You can also install a chair rail and use a darker colour on the bottom and a complementary tone above. Wainscoting and bead board in white also work well with warm colours. Neutral warms are ideal to create a relaxing environment whereas the use of bolder warms can add drama or even a touch of playful fun. Add Character Newer homes tend to lack character. The cookie cutter approach to newer homes does not provide the workmanship and thought put into the design of older homes. Built-ins, wainscoting and crown moulding add substance to a home and the addition of substantial base boards, chair rails and other millwork create a sense of history and architectural detail. Hallways are an excellent and affordable place to add wainscoting for a more formal look and bead board works well to add charm. Built ins are great for entertainment centres in living rooms and basements and formal dining rooms are also ideal for built ins used to display fine china as well as the addition of a buffet for storage. Crown moulding should be added throughout your home to provide a finished look filled with character. Fixtures and Finishes The home renovations Ottawa home owners appreciate include the addition of higher end fixtures such as updated lighting and fireplaces. Ottawa contractors can give you an idea of what will work best, and will work with you to find something within your budget. If you’re looking for an even more cozy feel try adding a gas fireplace to your living room, great room or basement. A bedroom with a fireplace also provides the ultimate retreat at the end of a long day. The home renovations Ottawa home owners choose are designed to make your home warm and inviting.  To get in touch to schedule renovations, you can fill out an online form or give us a call at (613) 727-9427.

Creating an Industrial Design Basement

Creating an Industrial Design Basement

If you are going for a different look for the basement remodeling in your home you should consider doing an edgier industrial look. The basement remodeling Ottawa home owners undergo doesn’t always have to follow the same design scheme. Instead look to the lofts of New York City for inspiration and go industrial. Here are some tips to help you create an industrial design basement. Open Ceiling One of the first things a basement remodel focuses on is covering up those “unsightly” beams and ducts in the ceiling. However, in a space that is already frightfully low leaving the floor beams and ducts exposed can really open up the room. Consider painting out all of those unfinished features in white or grey and leaving the metal ducts raw to create an airier, industrial feel. Jack Posts Jack posts are usually painted an unattractive brownish red and stick out like a sore thumb. However in an industrial space you can avoid the cost of covering these posts and opt to paint them out instead in white or black. Depending on their location you can even consider building a “table” or “bar” around the post for people to lean on or place a drink during a game of pool or darts. Cement A very popular feature in an industrial style loft is the cement floor. If you’re looking to completely remodel the basement ask your Ottawa contractors whether a cement floor is right for you. You may also consider lying down some floor heating and covering it with a warm polished cement for the industrial look. You can also cover walls in cement to intensify the effect. Corrugated Metal Corrugated metal can be used in a number of ways for your basement remodeling including a textured and interesting ceiling, as a wall covering and ideally as the front for your basement bar. Corrugated metal has a modern edge that looks fantastic. Exposed Brick Many older homes have brick that can be exposed for a more historical industrial feel. Again you will have to discuss the effects of using the actual brick of the foundation or other areas and how it will work in a basement that can tend to be damp and cold. These are just a few affordable ways to give your basement remodel an industrial edge.  To get in touch to schedule renovations, you can fill out an online form or give us a call at (613) 727-9427.

You can then do further research by entering their company name and the word “reviews” and see what pops up. Word of Mouth Most stellar contractors build their reputation on their own hard work.

Trusted Resources You can also look at the contractor’s website and see if they are recommended by the Better Business Bureau or are members of any associations. You can look for credentials for training and also research their name on search engines and see if there are any reviews. If you have the actual owner’s name you can check that out as well in case they have worked under different business names in the past that might reveal some shady practices. The more research you do the more information you’ll discover, whether it be raving reviews, or negative reviews explaining in detail the problem and situation.

6 Ways to Make your Renovations Eco-Friendly

6 Ways to Make your Renovations Eco-Friendly

Just because you are working with a professional renovations team in Ottawa doesn’t mean you can’t find eco-friendly ways to improve your home. Here are six ways you can make your renovations eco-friendly: Reuse You know the term “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle“; well it now includes “Rethink”. When adding professional renovations to your home consider ways you can reduce the amount of garbage you are sending to the landfill by rethinking what you have to tear out and what you can reuse. A kitchen is a perfect example. If your cabinets are sound you can reface them for the same effect without the need to completely tear everything out. You can also do the same for bathroom vanities. Look at items such as old doors and consider if they can be made into something like a headboard or even a table. Rethinking the way you look at items in your home can really reduce garbage as well as allow you to reuse items that will save you money. Sustainability This is the new buzz word of the home decor world. Look for sustainable materials such as bamboo and cork floors, and recycled glass for countertops or back splash and bathroom tiles to cut down on the depletion of our natural resources. Local Working with a local professional renovations team from the Ottawa area, as well as local suppliers will not only help your local economy but also lessen transportation demands. This in turn reduces the amount of fossil fuels involved in the delivery of your goods as well as the staff traveling to and from your job site. This then reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Reduce You can reduce your energy and water consumption by choosing eco-friendly fixtures and HVAC equipment as well as Energy Star Appliances, windows and doors. Look for low flow toilets and shower heads for the bathroom and energy efficient appliances for the kitchen and laundry room. Not only is this good for the environment, but it will also save you a lot of money on heating/air conditioning and energy. Low VOC Ask your professional renovations team to use low VOC paints and finishes to keep your home environment free of toxins. Use natural materials in carpeting such as wool.

5 Tips for Updating the Outdated Bathroom

5 Tips for Updating the Outdated Bathroom

Many home owners tend to overlook the bathroom, and end up leaving this renovation until the end. However, having an updated bathroom can add a lot of style and class to your home. A luxurious bathroom can offer a welcome oasis at the end of the day and make mornings more pleasurable when you have all the luxuries of a fine hotel. The bathroom renovations Ottawa home owners require should include these five high design details: 1. Eco-Friendly Choices When designing your bathroom, you want to ensure you are using eco-friendly fixture which can include low flow toilets and shower heads. There are many options that allow you to choose the flush required for “liquid” or “solids” and luxurious shower heads that not only look gorgeous but will provide a very satisfying shower experience. You will not only be helping the environment, but will be saving money by cutting down on your water usage which can lead to big savings annually. Water-Wise Fixtures: Ditch the outdated and embrace low-flow toilets and showerheads. You’d be surprised by the luxurious options available now, offering powerful sprays and sleek designs while using significantly less water. Bonus: dual-flush toilets let you choose the right amount of water for the job, further reducing waste. Green Cleaning Powerhouse: Skip the harsh chemicals and switch to eco-friendly cleaning products made from natural ingredients. Not only are they better for your health and the environment, but they can also be just as effective at keeping your bathroom sparkling clean. Every Drop Counts: Be a leak detective! Fix those pesky dripping faucets promptly to prevent precious water from going down the drain. It’s a small action that makes a big difference for your water bill and the planet. Don’t forget the everyday choices! Opt for eco-friendly cleaning products made from natural ingredients, and fix leaky faucets promptly to prevent wasted water. 2. Stylish Fixtures Avoid going for the standards and seek out fixtures with distinct style. Bathtubs are being designed for comfort as well as focal points for the bathroom. From reconstructed claw foot tubs to stunning waterfall designs, your tub should set the tone for your bathroom. Even toilets offer less utilitarian designs that are built not only for style but also for comfort. Sit in the display tub and on the display toilet to make sure they are comfortable. Go Beyond the Standard: Skip the builder-grade offerings and explore unique options that match your individual taste. Clawfoot tubs add timeless elegance, waterfall showers create a dramatic statement, and unique vanities can become the focal point of the space. Comfort Matters: Looking good is half the battle, but feeling good is just as important. Sit in display models of tubs and toilets before making your final decision. Your bathroom should be a sanctuary of relaxation, not just a beautiful showroom. Function Meets Fashion: Don’t let style compromise practicality. Choose fixtures that look amazing but also cater to your daily needs and lifestyle. Craving a deep soak? Look for bathtubs designed for indulgence. Need a spacious shower for invigorating mornings? Prioritize both aesthetic appeal and functionality. Style doesn’t have to come at the expense of functionality. Choose fixtures that not only look amazing but also fit your needs and lifestyle perfectly. 3. Deep Sinks Deep sinks are the must-have for bathroom renovations in Ottawa. They have taken over from the vessel sink craze as they offer a luxurious detail as well as space to take care of your needs. Vessel sinks are still available, but they tend to date themselves quite quickly. Spacious Sanctuary: Replace shallow bowls with the luxurious depth of a modern sink. Deep sinks offer ample space for washing hands, soaking laundry, or filling large containers without the dreaded splash-over. Practical Elegance: Deep sinks aren’t just about aesthetics; they offer increased functionality. The extra depth means less mess on your countertops and easier handling of larger items. Timeless Trend: Unlike vessel sinks, which can quickly appear outdated, deep sinks offer a classic and versatile design that complements various bathroom styles. Their popularity ensures they’ll remain a stylish choice for years to come. So, if you’re looking for a functional and trendy upgrade for your Ottawa bathroom, consider diving into the deeper delights of a modern deep sink. You’ll be surprised by the difference it makes! 4. Artistic Mirror Mirrors are another design detail that can add sparkle and glamour to the bathroom. Beveled details, beautifully carved frames and additional features such as lighting for applying makeup and shaving make getting ready in the morning less of a chore. You can also consider magnified pull mirrors for more “intimate” beauty tasks such as plucking your eye brows. Embrace Intricate Details: Beveled edges, beautifully carved frames, or even mosaic tiles surrounding the mirror can add a touch of elegance and sophistication. These details act as miniature works of art, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. Light Up Your Routine: Consider mirrors with integrated lighting, perfect for applying makeup or shaving with precision. This not only creates a well-lit space for these tasks but also adds a touch of luxury and modernity. Zoom In for Detail: Don’t forget the practical side! Include a magnified pull-out mirror for intricate tasks like eyebrow plucking or applying eyeliner. This ensures optimal visibility and precision while maintaining a sleek and integrated look. By incorporating these elements, your bathroom mirror transforms from a simple reflection tool into a captivating piece of art that elevates both the style and functionality of your space. Remember, your mirror can be a focal point, reflecting your unique personality and enhancing your daily routines. 5. Shower Showers are also becoming focal points for bathroom renovations. Open showers that do not require doors, tubs or curtains allow more space and are often designed to accommodate two. Double shower heads, steam features, lighting and even music are all part of the modern luxury shower experience. Embrace Openness: Opt for open showers that eliminate doors, tubs, and curtains. This creates
