The public bath houses of Rome served a multitude of
purposes. Men used the public bath as a place to hold
business meetings, social gatherings, and networking. Roman
baths was as luxurious and the spas of today. They were
equipped with a sauna and a gymnasium. They only thing
missing were women. Back then, women weren't allowed to use
the public bath houses.
In the modern world, we take our bathes in private. We like
the quiet comfort of being by ourselves after a hard days
work. Taking a relaxing bath is quite soothing.
The typical bath in a home consist of a tub shower
combination, toilet and sink. A larger more luxurious bath
can include a whirlpool, steam shower, his and her sinks,
vanities, sitting area, storage and perhaps skylights.
Its easy to turn your ordinary bath into a calming oasis.
Have a bunch of bath oils and scents at hand. Maybe make
your bathroom into a theme, like a sea theme or a garden.
Having large fluffy towels and floating candles makes a
nice added touch. It's entirely up to you.
But does your bath need more than candles, flowers and
paint?
There are two deciding factors when redoing your bathroom.
How much do you have to spend and what is the six of your
room.
A successful bath remodeling occurs with advance planning.
Planning ensures that your layout ideas and fixtures work
together within your bath square footage and budget.
Place your sink and shelves away from the tub. Don't put
anything that can be affected by water near your shower.
Allow for splashed and spilt water.
Keep in mind, you will need a ventilation system. Hot water
creates moisture, and mold and mildew thrive in moist
places. Improper ventilation is one of the worst things
that can happen to your bath. Black mold can grow on the
walls and ruin your newly finished bath.
Are you a bathtub person? Or do you like the shower. When
remodeling your bath, keep your preferences in mind.
Wouldn't it be a waste if you're a shower person to have
installed a whirlpool tub and never use it? Why not splurge
on a body massage unit with multiple shower jets?
Like always, with a new bath comes new hazards. Make sure
you maintain proper safety measure. Your bath or shower
sprays water on various surfaces. Keep electrical outlets
away from water and make sure you have the necessary non-
slip mats.
Create your bathroom to your liking. Make it plain or as
elaborate to your taste. Remember, this is your place to
relax.
