If, like me, you live in a cramped apartment, you are probably always whining about not having enough space in the bathroom. A small bathroom just doesn’t give you the luxury of a bath (since there is no place for a tub) or storage (since there are no places for cabinets and such). But if you do your own research, you will realize that there are many bathroom fixtures in the market that are perfect for small bathrooms. A 48-inch mini-claw tub is one example. You can get it brand new at around $1000 or you can buy one from a salvage yard for around $200. You can also buy a 2-feet sink that has a cabinet underneath. The possibilities are endless, even with a small bathroom.

Having an outdoor shower may seem like a medieval idea to you but it can be a wonderful luxury. Having one these days can bring you great convenience. The site where you install your shower will depend on how you will use it. If you will use it for rinsing after soaking in the pool, installing it near your pool is a great idea. If you want to use it for freshing up after a jog or a walk on the beach, you can place it in your backyard. This way, you will no longer be sweaty when you enter your house. You will also not trail sand on your floor.

It’s your own house, so why not? There are so many wonderful design ideas today that will enable you to enjoy the Superbowl even in your own bathroom. And if you’re the kind who sings in the shower (who doesn’t?), have you ever thought about a karaoke in your bathroom? These ideas are simply grand and can easily be done. For sure, there are now many experts who can help you make your television splash-proof. Adding electronics to your bathroom is easy when you do a complete remodel but this is entirely possible even if you’re doing a simple renovation.

If you’re thinking of changing the look of your bathroom, be prepared to spend thousands. A complete remodel can cost you between $8000 to $10000. Not all of us can afford an all-out bathroom makeover, so we should start with little things. But think beyond changing the shower curtains. One of the great things that you can do is change the paint. You don’t have to change the tiles when you do this. Repainting parts where is are no tiles is easy and cheap. You can also place new furniture, such as a new cabinet for your towels.
