Making Your Home Beautiful

A jetted whirlpool bathtub will add elegance to your bathroom and create an ideal spot to relax at the end of the day. If you have decided to upgrade your standard tub to one that contains sleek lines and pulsating jets, you may be interested in some additional features that will improve each bathing experience and supply the room with the aura that you are seeking.

Add Color & Texture

Adding a new tub to the bathroom may downplay the rest of the features in the room and could even cause items to look dated or out of sync. First, visit a bathroom showroom to acquire some decorating ideas. The 'perfect' shower curtain, colorful tiled mat or plush rug, and lighting can work wonders for the room and provide it with a much more inviting appearance.

You can purchase accessories at the same location where sample bathroom designs are on display. If you see something that you would like to recreate in your own home, a sales associate can help you select the materials and colors that will produce the overall look that you envisioned.

Think Outside of the Box

If your new whirlpool tub will contain a shower attachment, you will need to prevent water from seeping out from the confines of the bathing area and you will likely want to add some privacy. Doubling shower curtains will provide the tub's exterior with a layered look.

Choose a delicate print and two-piece design for the exterior layer and a bolder print and single panel curtain for the interior layer. When the tub is not in use, tie back the two panels that are on top of the single panel curtain to add depth and color to the bathroom.

If you like more than one bath mat style, integrate both of them together so that you can enjoy a colorful display each time that you step out of the tub to dry off your body. Think of a shape or design that you could add to your bathroom. For example, if one of the shower curtains contains a tropical theme and you plan on adding some faux foliage to the room to further add to your design choice, purchase a green and brown math to create a palm tree. Cut a palm tree top from the green mat and a trunk shape from the brown mat. Use your sewing machine to attach the mats together.

Select the Lighting

The lighting that you choose can add beauty to the room or it can ruin the look that you are trying to attain, so you should explore all of your options in entirety. At a bathroom showroom, you will discover many lighting styles. If you want subtle lighting, choose drop style bulbs that can be suspended over the tub area. If you want the lighting to be rather dim and you are not interested in a complicated design, choose a single dome-shaped light and have it installed centrally.
