Kids’ Bathing Fun

Buying a new home? Want it to be perfect for every family member? Blessed with enough space to add the ambience and appeal for both kids and adults?

Yes, you want your new home to be kid and adult friendly. While making the space comfortable and ambient for adults, you also want to add the zing in your kids’ space to make them comfortable and love their space. In a bid to achieve this, you paint the walls, buy curtains, and remodel the kid’s rooms and so on.

Kids’ bathroom

Another space where you are often tempted to add the appeal and comfort for kids is their bathroom. Bathroom remodeling in Los Angeles, then seems to be the best solution. You can remodel the bathroom to accommodate a small toilet seat, a low-height sink and such others. However, in a bid to make things beyond comfort, home owners often ignore the fact that the kids will soon grow tall and the bathroom may also be shared by guests or adults.

Here’s a list of things which you can do to the kids’ bathroom to achieve your objective.

• Instead of installing a low-height sink, keep a stool handy for kids to reach the sink.

• Similarly, a step-up for reaching the bathtub is a good idea.

• Painting the walls is a good idea to add the flavor to the kids’ bathroom. However, it is advisable to use universal accessories as changing them with time is challenging.

• Spillages by children are bothersome. It is therefore, advisable to use easy-to-clean surfaces rather than the exotic ones, which are prone to stains. 

• A fair amount of storage space for stacking toys and accessories is a good idea. 

So, to be practical, yet make the space kid-friendly; get your kids bathroom remodeled with the experts at RAP Construction Group.

Costly Mistakes!

An interesting, yet funny quote I received on my Whatsapp (from a mom of two little ones) reads thus, “I don’t need a big, fancy vacation. All I need is a trip to the bathroom by me.” Funny, yet true!

Undoubtedly, a bathroom is more than just a place to unload. It is a place for a relaxing shower, a retreat and a place where you can enjoy a few minutes of peace. This is why home owners often build the best bathrooms, with a soothing color combination, the best colored and designed tiles, coupled with the most comfortable toilet seat. Many home owners therefore choose bathroom remodeling, Los Angeles in a bid to transform their “old” bathroom to a new and better space. 

As careful as home owners are while building their bathrooms, so should they be during a remodeling project. To avoid bathroom remodeling blunders, steer away from these common errors home makers make.

Error-free remodeling

• A dark or dimly lit bathroom is definitely a no-no. Appropriate windows or a skylight is a must to allow fresh air.

• Imagine being able to peep into the bathroom while dining on the dining table. However good the bathroom is, it is certainly a bad idea. Take care not to make the mistake of building a bathroom that is visible from a public area in the house.

• Although the toilet is an important part of the bathroom, avoid making it all about the toilet. Let the toilet seat not be seen as soon as you walk into the bathroom.

• A great bathroom design is definitely appealing. However, do not let the bathroom cram up with design. Design the bathroom keeping the space in mind.

With these tips, make your bathroom the ideal retreat.

One company who can do this for you in the way you want is the RAP Construction Group.
