How to Pick Pro-Quality Sinks and Faucets
By Amanda Bashore of Your Home Supply
It’s a jungle out there! Well, almost. Though we humans have evolved to walking upright, discovering fire and creating the wheel, we sometimes resort to animalistic behavior. Thanks to primetime television fraught with competitive, beat-your-chest mini-dramas masked as game shows, the average homeowner who occasionally thought “the grass is greener” and ho-hummed on his way is now in an aggressive unnamed battle to be the best of the best in the neighborhood-- in every way possible. While this competitive drive usually results in friendly banter over the din of the lawn mower, it has also permeated the walls of our homes as well. So, in order to “win” your silent “best” homeowner battle, it only makes sense you bedeck your walls and cabinetry with professional quality appliances and hardware, beginning with the master bathroom. A Throne Fit for a King You probably never thought about it, but your master bathroom is one of the easiest—and cheapest—rooms to redesign, upgrade and even contribute to increasing the overall value of your home. And like any bathroom, the toilet itself may be the single most important fixture in your tile-lined bathroom. While standard toilets by Kohler, American Standard and Barclay offer simple designs and classic features, perhaps you want to upgrade your throne to include a few “gems”. High-tech toilets are now available that offer these unique features that will make any man or woman feel like royalty: self-cleaning tools, toilet bowels with LED lights (you’ll no longer hurt your eyes for the middle-of-the-night trips), seat heaters, air dryers, deodorizers as well as front and back bidets. Bathe in Luxury No matter what your age, the bath tub can be a place to escape to. For children, it served as a leak-proof pirate ship and for adults, a moment of peace and quiet amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Taking a bath can be the perfect start or finish to any day—especially with professional quality bath designs, so indulge a little! Replacing your stark white tub with a claw-footed basin can almost instantly transform your boring bathroom into a chic bath house that would rival those in ancient Greece. But for any tub, be sure to install durable valves; rough-in and ceramic valves guarantee high flow and water pressure. Additional neat fixtures include massaging jets, LED lights to match your mood, spa pillows to alleviate neck pain and even reading trays so your romance novel doesn’t accidentally slip into the suds. Fawn over Faucets Bathroom faucets can be the best or worst element of your bathroom. Correct faucet fixtures enable you to multi-task, since many master bathrooms are shared with all the individuals within the home. Faucets with small distances between the end and the basin can make any task difficult, especially for children. Price Pfiester and Kohler feature bath faucets will extended necks and even automated hand sensors to eliminate wasting water and overflowing sink basins. If you simply want to add a touch of style, replace your bath faucet with an elegant finish in oil rubbed bronze, polished brass, satin nickel or even chrome. For those seeking a bit extra, consider censored soap and hand sanitizer dispensers; these fixtures reduce drippy messes and grim that can build up over time on your sink countertops and soap dishes. Spice Up the Style With your newly renovated or reinstalled bathroom fixtures, it’s time you altered the style of your master bathroom as well. Indulge in toe-pleasing floor hardware—either with the luxurious floor warming tiles, or simple plush throw rugs. Create storage space by adding multiple decorative hanging towel racks so you’ll never accidentally double a face cloth and a hand towel again. Finally, be sure walls match the feel of your new bathroom; often an accent wall with a rich blue or green paint will transform your room from functional to inviting. |
