Statistics show that renovating a bathroom adds more value to your home than the cost of performing the renovation.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Bathroom remodeling ideas for an average sized bathroom include such things as putting in new fixtures for your lighting, sink, or bathtub. Sometimes those small changes can make a huge difference in the look and feel of your bathroom. Remodeling ideas can be used to transform the room into a comfortable, attractive, spa-like and functional space. Remodeling a bathroom can help create a space for grooming and even for relaxing and indulging in after a long and tiring day.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/3c.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/3c.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Shower doors need not always swing but many can be fitted with a slider and thus conserve space. To keep the shower door glass clean you may want to install a shower curtain and rod. The curtain will keep the glass clean and it will be visible from outside the shower. So; be sure to use a curtain that looks nice and fits your décor. If space allows, consider adding a separate shower to your bath area. Keep the tub for a spa-like retreat, but install a shower, too, with body sprays.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Replacing a tub or shower usually means tearing out any existing tile-work or other wall coverings in order to remove the tub. You can easily get into the thousands of dollars; so be sure to set aside a budget for doing the work. And figure you may need a little more…just in case. Replacing a toilet can be a simple thing if you avoid the most common mistakes made by many homeowners.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Remodeling comes with the unexpected, and with that comes unexpected costs and delays. To avoid unnecessary delays you should stay in constant touch with the contractor and be sure everything is in writing before starting the project. Remodeling remains one of the best ways to set your home ahead of the competition. Upgrades to outdoor areas that expand the living space and add curb appeal can help sell your home faster and for a better price.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Floor tiles look great and provide a hardwearing, waterproof surface for your bathroom. Tiling a bathroom floor is the most hygienic thing you can do. Flooring, lighting, cabinets, and much more must be decided in order to prepare an accurate budget.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Flooring tiles are available in many shapes, as well as sizes. Sizes can range from 1 inch to 24 inches, and are available in octagons, hexagons, rectangles, and diamonds. The size of the tiles is an important consideration. Of course; there are many colors and types of tiles (stone, porcelain, etc)so be sure to have a color scheme and idea of what you are looking for before going to the stores.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/3a.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/3a.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">And keep that budget in mind when shopping. The easiest thing to do when remodeling is to go spend over budget and that is when you get into trouble. So; you will want to set a budget and keep close watch when spending.</p>   <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Article Source: <a href="http://www.articlesbase.com/home-improvement-articles/home-design-bathroom-remodeling-653864.html">http://www.articlesbase.com/home-improvement-articles/home-design-bathroom-remodeling-653864.html</a> </p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>About the Author:</strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt">H.
