I recently got tired of my bathroom layouts and decided that I needed a change. As my eyes slowly moved around the room I thought that it was about time for some much needed maintenance work as some of the features were starting to fall apart slightly. The housing market is in a terrible state at the moment and it is unlikely that I could sell my property even if I decided that I wanted to. By making simple changes to my bathroom layout I could make it a better place to wash and increase the value of my property for the future.
Looking at my bathroom, I thought there were a variety of different options I could go for that would not take much effort but would make the bathroom feel like new. The first things that I noticed about the bathroom were the bath, toilet and sink as they had started to look like they had corroded and were past their prime. However I soon changed my mind about getting a new fitted bathroom because they were out of my price range plus I could always grab a brush and some bleach to get them clean. I then looked at the tiles around the bath and shower and realized that I could easily re-tile the walls. It then occurred to me that I could probably do the same with the floor to create a stylized effect for the whole bathroom layout.
The bathroom tiles on the wall were incredibly out of date so I headed off to my local do it yourself shop in search of new wall and floor tiles. I came to the conclusion that I should go for some ceramic floor tiles in black and white in order to design a checked layout on the floor. I then decided to co-ordinate this with black and white ceramic tiles for the bathroom wall. Instead of going for a chequered effect I went for blocks of black ceramic tiles amongst the white ceramic tiles.
One of the staff at the bathroom tiles area of the store was very helpful and gave me some excellent advice as how to best lay my floor tiles and bathroom wall tiles without damaging the surface underneath or the tiles themselves. He also told me the best tile adhesive for both of these jobs and gave me a few hints and tips for using it.
Two long weekends later and my bathroom has been brought to life, giving my bathroom a lighter and more contemporary look without needing to hire in someone else to do it. I’ve been so happy with how my bathroom now looks that I have already started looking into taking on my kitchen with my trusty trowel and some ceramic tiles.
