Elegant Bathroom Designs

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

 

Every room in the house should be decorated according to its function and with the right decorating designs as well. Architectural designers have come up with different methods of improving a home to attain the modern and classic look, and these inventions include how to make a bathroom stand out just like the rest of the house. There are different ideas that one can use in designing the bathroom, but the most important thing to consider is its size. The space or scope of the bathroom helps you determine the kind of fixtures to incorporate and the best designs as well.

Elegant Bathroom Designs.

The Material

Now homeowners have discovered the excellent ways of building easy to clean bathrooms with the use of marble, granite, and porcelain. These three materials are soft to touch and come in different colors that give your bathroom a modern and elegant look. It is easy to maintain the elements regarding cleaning since they only require you to wipe them with a cloth.Another area to focus on when selecting the material is the floor. The bathroom floor tends to get water all the time when people are taking showers or even when cleaning the surfaces. Therefore, instead of investing in the old design of adding carpets on the floor, now people are adding tiles. Also instead of using fabric curtains, you can use opaque glass doors which are comfortable to maintain and does not get attacked by mildew or mold.

The Colors

The colors are other excellent designs to consider when it comes to modeling a bathroom. When it comes to small and large bathroom renovations, the colors that you use to determine how the bathroom would appear. For example, there are some colors such as white, beige and cream that cause the bathroom to look more prominent. Also, neutral colors are easy to maintain and go well with any bathroom. If these colors seem to be a bit dull to you, you can add some boldness on other fixtures in the bathroom such as the bathtub, the faucets and also the lightings.

The Fixtures

Add your own taste of fixtures when designing a bathroom. There are different designs of bathroom fixtures such as the bathtub, the sinks, shower heads and also you can add some style when choosing the kind of lighting to use in the bathroom. For example, you can use chandelier lighting in the middle part of the ceiling.

Lighting

Lighting is another excellent design that a lot of people are focusing on. Your bathroom requires enough illumination just like the rest of the house, and therefore, there should be good lighting. For homeowners, this design can help you attract a lot of potential buyers mainly when you use unique and bright bathroom lighting fixtures. Some of the ideas to add when designing the bathroom lighting include the kind of light to use; maybe you can use crystal chandelier and also consider using other bold colored like led bulbs.

Conclusion

Let your bathroom pop up with the use of the above designing ideas. Make sure you work with an experienced designer so they can help you regarding how to put in place the different designs. Also, use other ideas like adding portraits on the walls of the bathroom if space allows you would be awesome.

3 Minimalist Bathroom Design Ideas

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

There’s no need to spend tons of money on a spa retreat if you have a minimalist bathroom that is just as comforting. You can easily achieve this look by doing the following tips:

Photo by Jared Rice on Unsplash

Don’t store too many things
Just because you have the extra storage space, doesn’t mean you need to fill it completely. Keeping empty space empty and only using what you really need is essential to achieving minimalism in the bathroom. Source: Contemporist

Go for a consolidated look
‘Try to unify the space with one colour or material to achieve a clean and unified look,’ says Straughan. ‘Matte grey tiles would be the perfect base to let your other fittings pop, in particular oversized tiles are a super fashionable choice. Other materials like marble, wood or polished concrete will also achieve that clean look as long as the style isn’t too flashy.’ Source: HouseBeautiful

Don’t be afraid to display a few essentials
A lacquered tray filled with jewelry, perfume bottles and soaps. A trio of vases displaying flowers in pastel tones. A countertop display of grooming products, such as hair gel, deodorant and face wash. These are NOT the type of features you will find in a minimalist bathroom. Not that there’s anything wrong with them! But no-fuss spaces keep the bulk of the grooming products and cushy details hidden, instead choosing to highlight a few key pieces. Like a clear vase filled with one or two blooms, or lotion displayed in a crystalline canister. Source: Decoist

Out with the old, in with the new!

4 signs that it’s time for new underwear

When was the last time you did a big clothing purge? (And before you think we’re all sweaters, jeans and jumpers, we’re not – we’re inspecting the panty pile) Oh yes, the undies drawer is getting a clean out! A good bra and panties can last years, but only if you take really good care of them.

Not sure if it’s time to toss your undergarments? These are some obvious tell-tale signs that they’ve given up the ghost.

They WERE sexy, NOW they’re stretchy!

Undies are not like wine; they don’t get better with age! In fact, after a while you may notice a fray here, fade there. Truth is, over time the elastic in the waistband eventually wears out, causing them to lose their shape — and potentially fall off your body. The same goes for your brassiere. “If your bra is no longer stretchy in the straps or back, it won’t offer the proper support,” says Lexie Sachs, a textiles product analyst in the Good Housekeeping Institute.

They’re a little smaller than you remember

Because underwear is washed so often, shrinkage can be expected, especially if they’re made of cotton. You don’t want to cut off your circulation or be sentenced to a day of discomfort – ditch any briefs that may feel a little too tight for your tush!

When it comes to your bra, your breasts probably change way more than you realize, so that bra that was once a perfect fit might be causing you some problems including back pain. And while not as problematic as back-pain, no lady wants her tatas turning downwards either! Spillage, or a band that doesn’t lay horizontal, and tightness (even on the last clasp), are all signs your bra is too small.

You’d rather go commando! 

This should be a given, but if you have a pair of undies that just don’t feel right — it’s time to toss them! Especially if you’re a fan of the lacy version. These delicate pieces can – after multiple washes – get rough and irritating. According to Mona Gohara, M.D and Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Yale School of Medicine, scratchy or irritating underwear can cause cysts and other symptoms.

You stayed in shape, they didn’t!

If the padding or cups of your bra shift and rumple, it’s time to buy a new one, says Sachs. The last thing you want are gaps or bulges — your cups should align with your breast. Otherwise, you’re not getting the support you need, which is why you want to be wearing a bra in the first place.

Even though your undergarments might now show these signs of wear-and-tear right away, you should still plan a cupboard clear-out every six to 12 months. It ain’t all bad news though, even if you have to let go of your favourite polka-dot panties, you won’t have to get rid of your favourite bra so soon, if you simply rotating them regularly!

How to Prevent Mold and Mildew in Your Bathroom

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

The bathroom is the area in your home most susceptible to growth of mold of mildew due to its constant exposure to moisture. To effectively keep this pesky problem at bay, do the following tips:

Photo by yann maignan on Unsplash

Keep your bathroom well-ventilated
Apart from keeping the bathroom clean, it is also advisable to minimize the amount of humidity in the room. Therefore, ventilation is very important. If you do not have an air extractor to expel moist air outside, keeping the bathroom window open can do the job. However, it is recommended to install an air extractor for greater efficiency. If you have an air extractor make sure to keep it running for some 20 minutes after you have taken a shower. In this way you will be eliminating excess humidity from the bathroom. Moreover, to reduce moisture you might consider using a dehumidifier. Since most mold problems are caused by condensation, the dehumidifier will extract the moisture out of the air and store it in a reservoir, which must be emptied regularly. Thanks to a dehumidifier you can reduce the humidity in the air by at least 60 percent. Source: DoItYourself

Wash rugs and towels regularly
The bath mat, bathroom rug and towels are ideal mold growth spots, especially if you leave them unwashed for long periods of time.

One easy way to help fight mold in your bathroom is to wash your towels and bathroom rugs regularly–at least once a week–and together.

Clean towels and rugs means a cleaner, healthier bathroom! Source: TheSpruce

Remove excess moisture
Wipe down the shower and tub as soon as you’re finished. Keep a small squeegee in the shower so it’s convenient; you can get a squeegee very cheaply at a hardware store, home goods retailer, or online. Or use a hand towel or washcloth to do the job. A cloth is particularly good at getting to the tile grout and in the corners where mold has a tendency to start. Source: Care2

University Visits

Juniors, start your research. Attend a university visit to hear more about the university, its programs and admission requirements directly from an admission officer. Don't forget to sign-up via Naviance if the session is during class time. You need to ask your teacher at least 3 days prior to the visit for permission to be absent from class.

Grade 8 Student Feedback Needed

Students who are currently in Grade 8 are invited to attend a feedback session about some potential new courses for the 2018-19 school year. For grade 9 and grade 10, we have been exploring the idea of offering some new integrated core course options . An integrated course would combine two subjects together, for instance English Language Arts and Design, or Science and Social Studies instead of offering them as a stand alone course as they currently exist. This would provide an additional option for interested students, not replace pre-existing courses. 

Regardless of whether you like, love, or even despise the concept we are looking for some student volunteers to participate in a feedback session on these new course ideas!

The feedback session will be on Friday, January 12th at lunchtime in room 1223 (across from HS office) and as a thank-you for your participation, pizza lunch will be provided. 

Please indicate your interest to participate by signing up here. As space is limited, please check your email for confirmation prior to Friday. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Giroux.
