2023年的15大浴室设计趋势


趋势一:黑色彰显个性

近几年来,我们看到,灰色已经成为更受欢迎的选择,而不是黑色。人们通常选择灰色作为装饰和地板的主要颜色。然而,随着越来越多的人想要在浴室设计中做出更大胆的表达,黑色的受欢迎程度也在上升。灰色仍将继续流行,但预计在未来的浴室设计中会看到更多深色调的灰色或黑色。

黑色可以以多种形式融入到浴室中。如果您的浴室较小,那么您可以将黑色用于灯具、镜子和哑光处理的水龙头。如果您有一个中性色调的浴室,那么添加黑色的水龙头和灯具将为您的浴室创造一个强烈的(对比)效果。如果您的浴室较大,那么您也可以考虑添加黑色的您,如浴缸或盥洗柜。然而,在瓷砖的选择上,黑色并不是流行选择,大型灰色瓷砖地板在未来几年将继续呈现上升趋势。

趋势#2 黄铜色和金色

黄铜色和金色一直与复古的浴室设计有关。金色点缀在复古设计中效果很好,但也可以融入当代和现代设计中。金色和黄铜色已不再是过去的设计。今天的金色和黄铜色调将为任何浴室增添可爱的温暖。它们为您的浴室空间增添了一种个性和奢华感。

过去几年中,人们看到了光滑、抛光和现代的闪亮的您。房主们正在远离这种趋势,因为它不会给浴室带来任何温暖。闪亮光滑的金属配件缺乏特色,使您的浴室看起来很冰冷。

相反,越来越流行的趋势是将黄铜色和冷色应用在亚光质地的龙头、水槽以及照明中。

趋势3浴室设计中的科技亮点

科技产品已经在我们的生活中无处不在。那么,为什么要让浴室依旧维持不变呢?科技产品的全部意义在于提高我们的生活水平。在过去我们已经看到了智能马桶和自动水龙头在日本日益增长的需求。智能马桶、感应水龙头和除臭器已经成为酒店和机场的标配。越来越多的房主将智能马桶和感应水龙头融入他们的浴室设计中。

2022年将看到科技产品应用在整个浴室,而不仅仅是马桶或感应水龙头。我们将看到智能淋浴器和蓝牙系统的兴起。有了智能淋浴器,您将能够确保在您回家时水已经热了。有了蓝牙系统,您现在可以在洗澡的时候听音乐了。您现在还可以安装一个声控系统,只需大声说话就可以改变灯光和水的设置。

现代浴室正在成为更能让人放松的场所,而科技产品正成为其中不可或缺的一部分。


趋势#4 瓷砖图案和形状在浴室设计中的应用

装修您的浴室,您几乎不会选择白色的瓷砖,因为今天的瓷砖有更多的选择。瓷砖现在有各种色调、设计、图案和纹理。由于科技的进步,它们可以模仿任何材料或风格。

现在您可以切割各种形状和尺寸的瓷砖,这增加了可供选择的数量。2021年的浴室装修多采用各种形状的明亮瓷砖,这些瓷砖被视为重点和特色。

淋浴墙和防溅墙是两个最常采用明亮和有纹理瓷砖的两个地方,而不仅局限于应用在地面。

趋势#5 工业风格的水槽、照明和盥洗柜

工业风格的住宅最初是受到纽约公寓的启发。工业风格有时也可以和“纽约”风格的公寓互换使用。然而,它并不符合每个人的口味。大多数人并没有在整个家里使用工业风格。相反,工业风格的某些元素被融入到他们的装修设计中。

在新西兰,预计将看到工业元素融入浴室设计的趋势越来越流行。最受欢迎的工业元素之一是水槽、灯具和水龙头。如果您喜欢这种风格,那么您甚至可以考虑采用一个工业风盥洗柜。通过选择木质和亚光黑色的工业装置,这些元素可以很容易地融入任何浴室风格。这种趋势在公寓和城市地区(如奥克兰)尤其流行。

趋势6 木质装饰品的回归

人们喜欢在家中添加木制元素。木质装饰品在任何房间都散发着温暖的气息。正如上文中提到,白色和闪亮的浴室正在被人们抛弃。在过去两年里,卫浴中应用木制装饰品一直呈上升趋势,并且大多数人将其作为盥洗室的特色。木制装饰品很受欢迎,因为它们可以被纳入任何时期的风格中。木纹质地的瓷砖最近也开始流行。

趋势#7 在浴室设计中加入流行的色彩

就像我们上面讨论的那样,白色的浴室会带来一种强烈的医院的感觉。它们不会散发出任何温暖的气息,也不会为您的浴室增添任何设计元素。现在愈加流行的趋势,是为原本中性的浴室添加一抹流行色彩。这可以通过安装明亮的彩色灯具或龙头轻松实现。

然而,2022年将会看到彩色防水墙和背景墙的兴起,以增加浴室的吸引力。这可以通过将您的一面墙刷成明亮的色调,或者简单地安装有纹理的明亮瓷砖作为背景墙或装饰条来实现。

在我们对Tile depot的Ruth的采访中,她谈到了许多奥克兰人是如何使用他们的Casablanca系列来为他们的浴室增添色彩的。Casablanca系列有温暖的红色、橙色、绿色和许多其他颜色。如果您还没有准备好做一个大胆的背景墙,那么您仍然可以在您的浴室里增加一些色彩,在原本中性的墙上安装一条明亮或有纹理的瓷砖。

趋势#8 简洁的收纳空间

由于浴室往往是空间较小,它通常最先显得杂乱无章。即使您不是一个简约主义者,您也应该考虑让您的浴室减少杂物,以营造一个整洁的环境。如果在您的浴室在设计之初便添加了方便使用并且简洁和隐蔽的收纳解决方案,这将使您的浴室看起来空间更加开阔和更具条理。

在装修浴室时,往往很容易忘记收纳问题。人们常常被市场上高颜值的浴室家具所迷惑。在装修浴室时要考虑到功能性和个人的生活方式。储物方案应该是装修时应考虑的主要因素之一。

趋势#9 柔和的粉色调

胭红色成为浴室的流行选择已有相当长一段时间了。胭红色的墙面与哑光金属装置相配,可以真正将您的浴室变成一个别致的空间。在2021年,您可以期待看到现代浴室以胭红色调搭配玫瑰金的浴室家具和龙头。如果您还没有准备好在整个浴室中使用玫瑰金或胭红色,仍然可以考虑将其作为(您浴室)背景墙或者点缀装饰的颜色。

趋势#10 更具实用功能的浴室镜和流畅的线条

特别是在大城市的公寓中,越来越多的人倾向于使用更时尚的浴室。人们希望自己的家能反映出一种都市的、现代的和时尚的风格。这一主旨在浴室中得到了发扬光大,使得比以前更加时尚。这样的浴室通常在设计中增添了科技功能,同时镜子也不甘落后。

镜子现在具有防雾技术,方便淋浴后的梳洗。它们的智能触摸按钮,方便您能够控制镜子边缘的Led灯。这些环绕背光灯,只需用手指触摸就可以调整其明亮程度。USB充电站也越来越多地出现在浴室里。

趋势#11 更大、更舒适

我们不断变化的生活方式也意味着我们的生活方式得到了改变。曾经,独立的厕所和浴室一直是人们的首选。现在,人们更喜欢在家里有浴室套间,这意味着有更多的空间可以利用。我们有不少客户现在倾向拆除厕所和浴室之间的墙,以便将它们改成一个套间。

这意味着您现在可以在浴室设计中安装更大的浴缸和淋浴间。更大更宽敞的浴缸意味着您可以更舒适地放松,确保您在一天工作之后可以彻底放松享受属于自己的宁静。与老式的塑料淋浴间相比,开放式淋浴间也变得越来越受欢迎。这越来越流行的趋势是使您的浴室看起来开放而整洁。拥有开放的淋浴间或单独的湿区使您的浴室看起来很宽敞。如果您还没有准备好在浴室里设置湿区,那么可以考虑安装带落地玻璃门的淋浴间。

趋势#12 壁挂式浴室柜

正如我们在上面讨论的那样,现代风格的浴室在过去几年中出现了增长趋势。这些设计通常以壁挂盥洗柜和置物架为特色。壁挂置物架现在正被应用到所有类型的浴室设计中。而随着技术的改进,卫浴产品供应商开始生产不同风格的壁挂盥洗柜,例如传统、混搭和工业等风格。

壁挂式盥洗柜使浴室看起来更加灵动,并在其下方增加了存储空间。

趋势#13 地板采暖系统和灯光

添加地暖不再被视为一种奢侈。浴室设计发展趋势是使其尽可能的增加舒适度。因此,奥克兰大多数近期翻新的浴室都配备了地暖,成本约为$2,500纽币。这可能会让人觉得是一笔大的开支,但在冬季,它们所带来的舒适感是无法估量的。

此外,您可以将地暖安装在任何时代的地板下。您可以把它安装在混凝土、瓷砖、PVC地板、木地板。走在铺有瓷砖的浴室时,您不必再踮起脚尖或穿上保暖的拖鞋。在天花板上安装浴霸,可以在寒冷的冬天为您的浴室增加更多温暖,而仅需大约$600纽币。

趋势#14 墙壁上的纹理和图案

有纹理和图案的墙砖并不是壁纸的同义词。因为壁纸很难维护,所以已经逐渐成为过去时。不过,壁纸的优势是有不同的图案和设计可以选择,可以为浴室增添不少特色。

在墙面上铺设带有纹理和图案的瓷砖已经逐渐成为取代壁纸的趋势,可以为浴室增添一些趣味性。Tile depot有一系列的工艺瓷砖/图案瓷砖,都是浴室背景墙瓷砖的很好选择。

趋势#15 使用大型瓷砖

与人们的想法不同的是,大瓷砖能让小浴室看起来更大。这是因为大瓷砖的灌浆线较少,意味着浴室地板的 “断裂 “较少。来自Tile Depot的Ruth解释说,600×600或600×900的瓷砖越来越受到奥克兰人的欢迎,而且这种趋势已经呈现上升趋势。

10个紧凑型浴室装修小贴士

中型到大型浴室更容易设计,因为有很多空间可以容纳您喜欢的浴室家具以及添加设计元素。然而并不是每个人都拥有奢侈的大浴室,并且我们家中的小浴室常常被忽视。

然而,情况并非必须如此,紧凑型浴室可以既美观又实用。一个完美的紧凑型浴室设计的关键是在于规划,以及以及能够帮助您整合各种设计元素的设计师。

1.     选择柔和的颜色或中性色调

墙壁和浴室家具采用中性色调,会给您的小浴室带来空间(增加)的错觉。采用米色、淡白色、柔和的粉色和其他中性色等,这些柔和的颜色将使您的空间更加开阔,同时为您的小浴室营造出一种平静的感觉。采用柔和的颜色或中性色调并不意味着您浴室整体设计会很无趣。您可以为您的小浴室创造亮点和时尚元素,如彩色毛巾架、哑光黑色龙头、黄铜色开关和装饰瓷砖。

2.嵌入式照明

良好的照明可以使任何小空间显得更大。通过窗户带来的自然光对小浴室增加空间感的效果很好,但如果您的小浴室没有足够的自然光,那么您应该确保安装大量的照明。

我们通常建议客户,在他们的小浴室安装嵌入式照明。您的活动空间已经受到了限制,这意味着您应该避免安装金属吊灯、水晶吊灯或壁挂式照明设备,因为它们会使您的小浴室看起来更局促。

嵌入式照明可以完全隐藏在您的天花板上,给您的浴室带来一种时尚的外观。 嵌入式照明还能发出柔和的光芒,使您的浴室家具和墙壁的线条更加柔和。

3.在洗手池上方安装壁镜或大镜子

如果可能的话,在盥洗柜上方或沿墙安装大型梳妆镜。添加大镜子会在视觉上使您的浴室看起来更大,通过镜子反射光线,带来空间增加的错觉。避免使用笨重的浴室柜,如果镜箱对您来说是必选项的,那么就选择更时尚的款式。St Michel有不同风格的镜箱和侧柜为小浴室设计带来了更多选择。

4. 湿区

因为湿区提供了更时尚的外观并开阔了空间,是小浴室设计的完美选择。如果您打算为您的小浴室创建一个湿区,那么您需要对该区域进行防水处理。防水工作完成后,再将墙壁和地板铺上瓷砖,这就成了您的 “湿区”。完全开放的湿区有一点不可避免,需要确保您的所有其他装置,如盥洗柜等也是防水的。

清洁也会成为一个问题,因为您必须清理溅到其他地方的水。为了解决这个问题,我们的许多客户喜欢安装玻璃隔板分隔湿区和浴室其他区域。您可以根据自己的喜好,安装半扇 玻璃隔板或玻璃门。

5. 型瓷砖淋浴间

在大多数浴室中,浴室的角落空间往往利用不足。小浴室的设计需要在布局上发挥所有的创造力。角落里的L形空间可以用来创建一个定制的瓷砖玻璃淋浴房。

Superior-Renovations-Renovations-Auckland-2-1, Kitchen Renovation, Bathroom Renovation, House Renovation Auckland

St Heliers的浴室改造虽然这个浴室不是特别小,但我们利用角落的L型空间打造了一个玻璃淋浴间,以最大限度地利用现有空间。

请参阅上述St Heliers浴室的项目详情。

在淋浴间使用与浴室地板其他部分相同的瓷砖,使整体统一,这会使您的小浴室显得更大。同时使用无框玻璃门为您的小浴室增添空间错觉。

6. 口袋门/谷仓门

当您拥有一个小浴室时,您需要充分的利用空间,可以更好的收纳所有的浴室设备。为了最大限度地利用浴室的空间,您可以安装一扇口袋门,这样门就不会开到浴室里。

DSC02255, Kitchen Renovation, Bathroom Renovation, House Renovation Auckland

7. 铺设地面使用大型瓷砖地板

使用大的地砖会使您的小浴室看起来更大,因为它的灌浆线会更少。来自Tile Depot的Ruth建议在小浴室设计中使用600×600或900×600的地砖。您可以通过将灌浆的颜色与瓷砖的颜色相匹配来进一步减少灌浆线的出现。

8.  尝试简约的小浴室设计

如果您的浴室非常小,那么请选择简约风格的浴室设计。远离过多的图案或纹理,选择线条简洁的装置。选择白色作为地板和所有浴室设备的颜色。如果浴室里有浴缸,不要使用浴帘,而是安装一个透明玻璃。为了提升小浴室的整体设计,可以在窗户附近添加植物,或在镜子旁种植爬山虎。

9. 壁挂式盥洗台和马桶

在浴室里安装浮动式盥洗台和马桶,可以让您实现浴室外观的整洁,因为这些设施周围的空间可以释放出来了。在过去,可用的壁挂盥洗台只有现代风格。而现在,您可以找到当代以及其他风格的壁挂盥洗柜。

 

10. 为您的小浴室量身定制盥洗台

小浴室有时会有不常见的角度或者空间狭窄。而制作定制盥洗柜并不像听起来那么困难。事实上,盥洗柜的建造方式与您的厨房橱柜和工作台的建造方式相同。

如何打造时尚浴室新西兰的时尚浴室

在Superior Renovations,我们看到客户对装修一个具有时尚元素的浴室的需求越来越大。浴室不再仅仅是一个功能空间,而是一个可以享受和放松的空间。而拥有一个时尚浴室并不意味着价格昂贵。

“如今有许多创新和漂亮的浴室产品,它们易于维护,价格适中,同时散发着奢华的感觉。将漂亮的产品与华丽的手工瓷砖结合起来,您就能真正让您的浴室看起来很优雅。我们的内部浴室设计师Cici说:”关键是要选择真正能够相互呼应的浴室家具、或配件、颜色、质地和设计,以实现一个有凝聚力的浴室设计。

Some of the key questions Cici asks our clients before designing a designer bathroom is as follows:

designer bathroom is as follows:

在设计时尚浴室之前,Cici向我们的客户提出了如下关键问题:

您对您的时尚浴室是否有一个特定的主题?主题可以是折衷主义的、古典的、传统的、复古乡村风格的、工业的、复古的、当代的或现代的。

– 您是否想打造一个混合了不同风格元素的浴室?

– 您是否希望在浴室设计中加入某种特定的颜色?

– 这是您的主浴室还是客人浴室?

– 谁会最多地使用这个浴室?孩子们也要使用这个浴室吗?

– 您对材料的质地有什么想法?

– 您喜欢哑光、亮光的装修风格吗?或者您希望两者结合?

– 在浴室设计中,是否有一个特别的装置(如浴缸或湿区)是必须的?

– 是否有一个灯具需要成为您浴室设计中的亮点?

– 您是想要有层次感的照明效果,还是想要有更多自然和明亮光线的浴室?

– 您希望您的浴室中特别加入特定的品牌吗?

– 您需要浴室里有大量的存储空间吗?

– 您对背景墙有什么看法?

– 您对地面材料的理想选择是什么?

– 有什么特别指定的瓷砖类型(例如,防滑等)?

– 您想要完全铺设瓷砖的墙面,还是考虑油漆墙面?

我的大多数客户都不知道上述所有问题的答案,这完全没有问题。但是现在的选择很多,很快就会让人不知所措。我把这些问题作为一个起点,看看客户对时尚感浴室的大致要求是什么。我的大多数客户对浴室设计的设想往往是随着我们对材料和预期设计的进一步讨论而变化的。”Cici解释说。”不知道自己到底想从浴室设计中得到什么也没关系。

在博客的下一节,我们将讨论如何在新西兰创造不同风格的时尚感浴室。

用浴室家具和大型哑光砖创造一个当代时尚感的浴室。

 

在新西兰设计浴室时,浴室家具起着关键作用。在装修浴室时,我们通常与Reece公司合作,因为他们的设计范围涉及广泛,而且其产品的质量也很好。当代浴室在奥克兰最受欢迎的原因是, 当代风格可以是各种材料的混合体。当代浴室的设计大多以大面积的哑光砖为主,配以大型的独立浴缸、湿区和具有设计特色的盥洗柜。

浴缸

Cici在设计现代浴室时经常使用Reece的KADO系列。Reece的Kado系列,灵感来自于奢华酒店,强调享受和舒适。这款浴缸名为Lussi 500 Vessel basin,容量为7.6升。

如果您正在寻找不规则的浴缸,那么 Cici 会推荐 Kado 的 Neue 独立式浴缸。 “浴缸一侧的弧形边缘创造了趣味,也更舒适,因为您可以在浴缸的细长侧伸展双腿。

如上所述,如今涉及当代风格浴室中所有装置和瓷砖都采用了整体哑光处理。如果您想为您的浴室增加一丝光泽或亮光,那么我们建议您通过龙头或背景墙来实现。

Laufen系列的洗手池和龙头

今天,在选择当代风格的洗手池时,有许多选择。并没有一种特定的洗手池符合当代风格的描述。而如今一些更受欢迎的当代时尚浴室会采用智能功能,如整合生态技术,帮助节省水和电。

我们问Cici为什么向客户推荐Laufen,她说:”Laufen创造了一种独特的材料,叫做SaphirKeramik,他们用它来制造洗手池。这是一种革命性的陶瓷材料,具有特殊的硬度,与刚玉(一种无色的矿物,具有蓝宝石的一些成分)混合。这使该材料具有与钢相同的强度,但又有足够的弹性,可以做得很薄,这为设计提供了无限的可能性,这就是为什么Laufen洗手池总会有一些令人惊叹的设计。

 

同时还强调在设计中不添加过多的装饰。

“就当代浴室设计而言,龙头和洗手池有多种选择。我的一些客户喜欢更现代、更简洁的洗手池外观,而另一些客户则喜欢更粗犷的外观,以展示材料的原始和朴实。现代设计的美妙之处在于您可以混合搭配各种风格,因为没有针对当代设计的特定设计(如传统设计)” Cici 对当代浴室的产品选择解释道。

“我们在Piha翻新的浴室(如下图)是使用水槽的一个很典型的装修案例,它以原始形式展示了水槽的材料。人们常常将当代风格与超现代风格相混淆,当代浴室设计就是要使用当前最流行的材料,这可能包括从其他风格中借用的元素,而这都是为了突出材料”,Cici对当代设计的解释。

Alape是Reece的另一个优秀品牌,可应用于当代、工业和现代风格的浴室设计。它由薄薄的钢板制成,经过丰富的搪瓷涂层的烧制,呈现一个均匀的外观。它散发出一种难以比拟的奢华感,确保提升了整体浴室设计,使浴室更具时尚感。

下面的台上洗手池利用其两个颜色形成了一个色彩的对比,也增加了梳妆台的美观。内部的白色是有光泽的,与外部的哑光黑色形成对比。因为台上洗手池需要清洁洗手池周围,而嵌入式水槽则不需要,所以我们的设计师通常不建议在有小孩的家庭中安装台上洗手池。

 

 

对于有孩子的家庭来说,下图中的嵌入式水槽会是一个更好的选择。这种水槽也让您的盥洗台表面看起来更整洁。

 

 当代风格浴室的淋浴间

当代风格浴室的淋浴间通常设有湿区或带玻璃门的瓷砖淋浴间。大多数老房子都装有带有亚克力底座的淋浴间,这种底座通常看起来笨重,并且不会为整体浴室增加任何美感。

我们大多数客户都选择了带有无框玻璃的瓷砖淋浴房,可以使他们的当代风格浴室看起来更加简洁。我们通常会在淋浴房中安装与浴室其他部分相同的地砖和墙砖,以提供浴室设计的整体性,从而使浴室在视觉上看起来更大。

这间位于West Harbour的浴室装修特点是采用了无框玻璃的瓷砖淋浴间。无框玻璃确保了淋浴区不会看起来很笨重。

 

“一些客户喜欢在浴室装修中给瓷砖淋浴房周围建造凸起的防水台,这样水在淋浴时就不会溅到淋浴房外。而一些客户则希望更简洁、更无缝衔接,在这种情况下,我们就不建造四周的防水台。”对受客户欢迎的瓷砖淋浴房的类型Cici解释道。

上述浴室装修中的湿区是一个很好的例子。部分玻璃框架将淋浴区与浴室的其他部分分开。没有升高的防水台将其与浴室的其他部分隔开。

 

下图是我们在Westmere(奥克兰)翻新的一间浴室,我们在装修时建造了一个四周没有防水台的湿区。整个浴室和湿区都使用了相同的瓷砖,从而打造一个无缝衔接的浴室设计。虽然这间浴室的风格比较质朴,但是当代时尚风格的浴室中也可以建造类似的湿区。

 当代时尚浴室的地板和墙砖

当代设计的伟大之处在于,没有太多的风格限制和约束,而是结合不同的风格、质地和材料。我们与Tile Depot的Ruth和Kalun合作非常密切,他们经常帮助我们的客户挑选合适其浴室的瓷砖类型。他们对瓷砖产品的更迭、新风格的创新产品以及耐用性有着广泛的了解,因此我们的设计师在设计浴室项目时经常会征求他们的意见。

Ruth建议在地板上使用600×600或600×900尺寸的大型瓷砖,因为在大型瓷砖的灌浆线更少,所以可以在使得浴室看起来更大。如今的当代浴室通常在地板和墙壁上铺设亚光砖。Cici建议在当代设计风格的浴室地板上使用深色瓷砖。”在地板上使用深色的哑光瓷砖,可以立即使浴室看起来更加豪华。如果您在墙壁上铺设瓷砖,可以选择用相对稍浅的色调,或者使用更浅的颜色来铺设”。

 

“如下面这个由我们翻新的浴室,您可以感受到墙面浅色脉络瓷砖与深色地砖的相得益彰,从而打造了一个开放而宽敞的浴室。”Cici谈到关于地板采用深色瓷砖补充道:”这是一个常见的误解,认为深色瓷砖会封闭空间,使浴室看起来很小”。

“当您看到上图浴室时,您可以看到当代风格浴室设计没有任何限制,这就是设计的乐趣所在。您可以看到Titirangi和Albany的浴室装修完成后风格迥异,但它们仍然符合当代浴室的模式。当我们问Cici为什么这两个浴室被定义为当代设计风格的时候,她解释说:”唯一不属于当代设计风格的产品是具有华丽设计的传统风格的浴室家具类型。

“人们常常有一个误解,认为选择深色的浴室家具或瓷砖会使您的空间变小。如果深色调与更多的浅色调相互融合,情况就不一样了。如果您选择的所有瓷砖、浴室家具和其他配件都是深色调,那么您的浴室肯定会看起来更小,更局促。然而,如果您选择明暗对比的颜色,那么将为您呈现一个的时尚的当代设计风格浴室”,Cici谈到为浴室选择深色调时说。

如上所述,哑光质地的瓷砖已经成为新西兰当代时尚浴室的首选,设计师和客户都是如此。 该浴室地面使用的是600*600的大型Pirano R10灰色哑光釉面防滑砖,墙面上使用的600*600的MI Incarico瓷砖,均来自Tile Depot。

 

“大的600×600或600×900或900×1200,对于小的和大的浴室都非常受欢迎。由于灌浆线较少,它们给人一种更无缝的感觉,并为浴室设计呈现了更好的衔接性。当我们问到最适合浴室的瓷砖尺寸时,来自Tile Depot的Ruth解释说:”而且它们也更容易安装,也不容易出现漏水问题。

NZ的复古的浴室设计

复古风格的浴室设计充斥着旧时代的魅力,采用了花纹瓷砖、考究的配件、明亮和温暖的色彩以及经典永恒的浴室家具。复古并不意味着那些存在于奥克兰的老房子里过时的浴室。今天的复古浴室设计都是在现代浴室中融入了经典的元素。

例如,复古的浴室设计包括外观古朴的爪足式浴缸、古典风格的独立式盥洗台、带有花纹的瓷砖和经过拉丝处理的龙头。

复古浴室设计中的盥洗台

在早期,盥洗池的下方或上方是没有真正的橱柜。这就是我们的设计师Dorothy建议在复古浴室设计中选择使用没有橱柜的独立式盥洗池的原因。

复古浴室设计中的浴缸

浴缸作为复古浴室的标志性装置,独立式浴缸是不二选择。想象一下,一个巨大的浴缸,不仅带有镀铬、拉丝或黄铜工艺的爪形脚,还同时兼具了华丽的细节装饰。

对于复古的浴室设计,有哪些最佳的瓷砖选择?

在为任何特定风格的浴室进行设计时,瓷砖绝对是任何浴室设计的标志。我们的内部设计师Dorothy经常帮助我们的客户选择合适的瓷砖或浴室家具,以创造任何风格的时尚浴室。

 

“复古对不同的人而言可能意味着许多不同的东西。有些人喜欢摩尔式的外观,有些人则喜欢维多利亚式的经典外观。适用于这些不同风格的复古浴室的瓷砖会有所不同。如果您追求的是摩尔式或乡村风格的外观,那么我会建议使用有大量色彩和花纹的瓷砖。Tile Depot釉面手工瓷砖系列,很适合乡村复古浴室的风格。如果是维多利亚式的复古设计,那么我会选择更经典的中性色,并结合一些颜色。您不会在维多利亚风格的复古浴室中看到大量的色彩。”Dorothy解释说,不同的复古浴室设计需要非常不同的瓷砖来进行浴室设计。

      Epoxy Grout VS Cement Grout for Tiling: Advantages & Disadvantages

      photo-1523413651479-597eb2da0ad6-1000, Kitchen Renovation, Bathroom Renovation, House Renovation AucklandAre you faced with the question of choosing between Epoxy Grouting or Cement Grouting for tiling?

      No doubt, kitchen and bathroom tiling can look dull and begrimed when grout begins to flake or discolored. Over time due to wear and tear, some surfaces require an excellent type of sealing between dissimilar surfaces like countertops, and underneath basins and sinks. For these areas, we need to choose the best grout for tiling. Do you know the difference between cement grout and epoxy grout? If not, then continue reading this article because we will compare both these options, and help you choose the best one.

      No doubt, Epoxy grout has become the most widely used option for grouting. Various renovation companies around the world, especially in New Zealand are using Epoxy grouting in tiled showers, and floors. However, there must be a reason for it. Are you interested in knowing what that is? Then continue reading this article, we have a lot to share with you.

      Why Do Bathroom or Kitchen Grout Crack?

      No doubt, grout crack is common and happens mainly due to movement between two surfaces. Homes are continually moving in tiny increments as a result of humidity, foundation settling, temperature, and many other factors. However, if the grout in the kitchen or bathroom is a rigid material, then it results in cracks when a bathtub moves on the way while the installed tile wall moves another way.

      There are various ways in which installation can doom grout to failure, so it is vital to give your bathroom tile project in the professional hands. For instance, if the grout is indecorously mixed with too much water concentration or additives, then it could leave air pockets after the grout has fully dried. That could make the grout frail and extremely weak, and eventually lead to cracks.

      Grout can also be cracked if too little adhesive is used in tiles installation. If a tile pulls away from the wall after the adhesive dries, then it is up to the grout to hold in the right place, and that stress is likely to cause cracks.

      Even old or damaged grout can make the most beautiful looking tiles ugly. It also causes structural damage to your home. However, re-grouting is a process of removing the old and poorly installed grout with the new one for better results.

      So now you know the main reasons why you may need re-grouting, here are two forms of grouting you may need to know. However, if you are looking for the professional grouting services, then we are here to help you. We have been in this industry for the past many years, and has helped thousands of residential and commercial buildings with the best services.

      Epoxy Grout

      Unlike cement grout, Epoxy grout is made from two-part epoxy resins. These two are mixed with filler powder. This grouting option has been used for renovation companies for many years because of its durability, non-porous, and stain-resistance nature.

      Cement Grout

      Cement grout is a mixture of sand and water and often comes in un-sanded varieties. It is the injection under pressure of cement to fill fractures or voids in the soil or concrete structure. It is a process used to fill voids with cement injected under pressure.

      So, What Is The Main Difference Between Epoxy Grout and Cement Grout?

      As we know, cement grout is made up of some cementitious powder mixture. While epoxy grout is made from epoxy resins, and a filler powder, which however makes epoxy grout extremely durable, non-porous and stain proof. When it comes to cement grout, then this is the cheap grouting option as compared to epoxy grout because of its porous nature. It can easily absorb water and so stain that results in discoloration over time.

      Most people ask a question about epoxy grout, whether it is waterproof or not, so here is the answer.

      Is Epoxy Grout Waterproof?

      The answer is yes, it is waterproof. Its non-porous nature makes it waterproof. It is resistant to staining, which makes it the first choice of many people. However, it is not recommended to combine it with cement grout as it can result in stain non-resistance.

      Now you have the basic idea of cement and epoxy grout; now we will discuss each one in more detail to help you decide the best grout for tiling.

      Detailed Overview

      What Is Cement Grout? 

      Portland cement is the most common type of cement, manufactured from clay and chalk which hardens when undergoes water, and upon getting harden resembles Portland stone in color. Cement grout contains filler particles of various sizes and water-retention additive. No doubt, cement grout has been used for residential and commercial applications because of its multiple properties.

      It comes in various colors to let the users match it with the tile color. For applying cement grout on a surface, it is first mixed with water and then applied with a trowel. However, the presence of a water-absorbent agent in it impedes the drying, and let the cement set and dry slowly for maximum hardness. Drying time is one of the main reasons why people don’t like cement grout.

      It is formed by mixing cement powder with water in the same ratio. No doubt, setting, and hardening are the two main features always to consider while looking for grout for tiling. Cement grouting is more time consuming and so it affects its performance. Its efficiency also gets decrease because of excessive voids that hit its stiffness, porousness. But anyway, it is still used as an excellent traditional option to fill voids and gaps in the structures. It is not recommended to use cement grout with porous tiles like natural stone, quarry, and many more because this combination can stain the surfaces.

      Cement grouting has various variations, like sanded and unsanded. Let’s discuss what these are.

      Sanded vs. Unsanded

      The main difference between sanded and unsanded is sanded one contains more sand particles, while the other one has a smooth texture with less fine powder particles.

      The big sand particles of sanded cement grouts look and feel resolute. Sanded cement is recommended where the voids are about 1/8 inch wide, and especially for its durability and power to prevent cracking. One needs to be careful while applying this type of cement as it can scratch the surfaces

      Unsanded grouts don’t have visible grit. These are the best for filling 1/16 to 1/8 inch wide voids in the structures. It is not recommended to use it with more full seams because it can result in cracks due to lack of binding power of sanded grouts.

      Latex-Modified Grout

      Formulation of sanded grouts can be done with a latex polymer additive. This process can be made possible by including latex polymer additive in the dry mix or by adding it while mixing grout with water. This additive plays an essential role in enhancing the grout’s water-proof nature and increasing its strength.

      Maintenance of Cement Grout

      Cement grouts are the most popular grouts for tiling, and it works best in any area where there’s a need for title installation. However, the latex additives grouts can stain and feature the porous properties. Therefore, it is essential to seal all the cementitious grouts. This sealing can be done with a penetrating sealer once or twice in a year. This step is the right choice since it keeps the cement grout free from stains and ensures that it’s fully waterproof.

      tiles-1373189_1920-1000, Kitchen Renovation, Bathroom Renovation, House Renovation AucklandWhat is Epoxy Grout? 

      Epoxy grout is a unique and popular grout for tiling that does not use Portland cement or water in the mixing process. It features a hardener, pigments, epoxy resin, and silica fillers. Epoxy grout is less porous compared to the cementitious grout. Also, epoxy grouts work best in areas containing greases and acids such as kitchens.

      The construction sector applies a variety of epoxy resins such as polyurethane, epoxy, and many more. Yes, epoxy has a name that implies the presence of cement material, but it does not feature any cement percentage. For the epoxy hardener, it plays an essential role in initiating epoxy grout’s hardening process. Also, the epoxy hardener is vital in repairing cavities and hairline cracks in concrete structures. Other than this, this element can work best as a primer or bonding agent.

      There are two primary forms of epoxy grouts

      Which include sanded and unsanded epoxy grouts. However, a vast difference exists between the sand used for these forms and the one used for the cementitious grouts. Also, epoxy grouts give a little challenge to the amateurs since they set up reasonably fast.  Other than this, epoxy grouts go at a relatively high price compared to the cement grouts. They cost around $12 per kg as the cement grouts cost between $2 and $4 per kg. But epoxy grout is the right choice in any place where there’s a need for maximum stain resistance.

      However, there are high chances for epoxy grout to stain the unglazed and porous surfaces badly. Examples of these surfaces include the limestone and quarry tiles. It is essential to seal the epoxy grout before grouting if there’s a need to use them on these tiles.

      Epoxy grout is a product of two different resins that contain a filler in their mixer. This feature is the main behind epoxy grout’s waterproof nature. Also, this is the reason why epoxy grout works best with the harsher cleaning products. Other than this, the thin sets property of epoxy grout gives higher chemical resistance and bond strength compared to cementitious grouts.

      Maintenance of Epoxy Grout

      The main benefit of epoxy grouts is that they don’t have to get sealed as for the case of cementitious grouts. But, there are high chances for them to get stained. Scrubbing epoxy grouts with a mixture of water and vinegar, or bleach and water is the right way to clean them. It is important to take care the epoxy grout, as it can easily be stained due to various factors.

      Modified Epoxy Grouts

      Epoxy grout modified with Portland cement is another hybrid grout available for tiling. This grout shares the same characteristics with the standard Portland cement. Therefore, this means that this grout requires regular sealing. However, this hybrid grout is more stain-resistant, harder, and stronger compared to the standard cementitious grouts.

      Why Use Epoxy Grout? 

      Yes, epoxy grout features a variety of benefits, but it’s more challenging to work with compared to the regular grout for tiling. Also, epoxy grout tends to feature a plastic look, which a certain percentage of homeowners who are renovating their home don’t like. Other than this, epoxy grout goes at a high cost, and most tilers charge more for using it as opposed to the regular grout.

      Regular grout is the most preferred for other individuals since it’s easy to design in outside corners. These include the places where the tile wraps around the shower niche, wall, or kerb. Some people don’t like epoxy grout since they find it hard to achieve the same effect with it. Epoxy takes much time to set up in a grout joint. Also, epoxy grout consumes less time and requires a smaller mix to work with since it sets quicker compared to the regular grout.

      Other than this, epoxy grout needs an acid wash, which is essential in removing any excess resin residue from the tile surfaces. Also, some epoxy grouts work well only with glass. Here, most brands feature a unique glass epoxy and regular epoxy. The filler used in the mixture is the only thing that creates a difference between these two. For the glass tiles, they have a smoother filler, meaning it will not scratch the delicate tiles.

      white-tile-shower-1-1000, Kitchen Renovation, Bathroom Renovation, House Renovation Auckland

      What Are The Key Differences? 

      The cleaning and installation time is the primary thing that creates a big difference between regular grout and epoxy grout. Also, the cost is another factor that separates the two. For epoxy grout, its price can be three to four times higher compared to the regular grout. This cost explains the main reason why some installers don’t prefer epoxy grout.

      Which Are The Places To Use Epoxy Grout Versus Cement Grout? 

      Epoxy grout is the choice for tiled floors and showers. It is the most preferred option for these areas since adds a second layer of protection for the moisture that’s under the tile. The first protection layer is the waterproofing section. Also, epoxy grout works best for splashback tiling over vanities.

      Color is another essential thing that attracts most people to epoxy grout. This color originates from epoxy grout’s filler and remains constant throughout. For the regular grout, it is possible to remove its pigment during the cleaning process.

      There is a vast difference between using epoxy grout and regular cement grout. The main difference is that the two feature unique processes. This uniqueness covers everything from mixing up to cleaning.

      For the case of bathroom tiling, it is essential to bathroom professionals who possess the right experience. Ensure that they have a deep understanding of either epoxy grout or regular cement grout and their applications. Also, don’t forget to note the cost difference between regular cement grout and epoxy grout. Yes, epoxy grout goes at a relatively high cost but is the right choice for most people because of its durability, waterproofing, and staining features.

      Why No One Loves Regular Cement Grout

      Yes, most people use cement grout in tile work, but it is not the right option. They prefer cement-based grout products because of their thinner properties compared to the mortar and building cement. This feature makes it possible for this regular grout to flow better into cracks and any other area. However, their porous nature is one thing that destroys the impression of all these benefits. The cement grout mixture features several undetectable openings, which becomes evident even after it dries.

      Through these pores, dirt and other elements from the outside find access to the grout, making it embedded. They result in staining and gives a chance for the embedding of mold and mildew into the cement grout. Cement-based grout act as the conduit for stains. Also, cement makes it possible for the stains to adhere to the grout lines. Therefore, there are high chances for the new grout lines to start taking on discoloration whenever they get exposed to the staining materials.

      Other than this, cement-based products do not feature waterproof properties. Therefore, there are high chances for excess water and moisture found in tiled showers to cause damage to this type of grout for filing. Also, this explains the main reason sealing is an essential requirement for all projects using the cement-based grout.

      Features That Make Epoxy Grout The Right Choice

      Most people prefer epoxy grout because it’s sturdy and durable. It’s a grout for tiling that’s highly resistant to climatic changes, stains, harsh weather conditions, cracks, and stains. These features make epoxy grout the right choice for those individuals looking for the efficient and most durable way to do tile work. Its strength is the main reason it works perfectly for outdoors, indoors or tile job.

      Also, it is an excellent option for areas with high traffic because of its chemical, stain, and crack-resistant properties. Other than this, resistance to climatic changes and harsh weather conditions makes epoxy grout the right choice. Therefore, it’s the most preferred option in areas where it’s likely to get subjected to severe cold or excessive amounts of humidity.

      It’s common to come across people talking about how it’s challenging to work with epoxy grout

      Yes, epoxy products were so complicated in the past, but now that’s history. Nowadays, it’s easy to work with epoxy because of changes in its formulation. Advancement in various products such as Litokol Starlike Grout makes using epoxy grout a more manageable task compared to when using other grouts for tilling. The establishment of Starlike Grout is essential for easy clean-up. Other than this, Starlike Grout is 100% safe and non-toxic. Therefore, it is the right choice for the installers, environment, people, and pets.

      Yes, epoxy grout costs more than cement-based grout, but that’s not a big issue in the long run. Also, there are several reasons why you need to go for the epoxy grout as opposed to the traditional grout. It’s not expensive to upgrade from the cement-based grout to epoxy grout. A good example is the 20SQM bathroom renovation project. Here, tile and professional installation cost go at $1,500. The same job can get upgraded from cement-based grout to epoxy grout with an additional fee of 5%, which is less than $75. Therefore, this shows why everyone needs to go for epoxy grout.

      Epoxy grout is more durable compared to the traditional grout. Therefore, this means that epoxy grout is worth the higher expense. There are minimal to zero chances for this grout to crumble and start falling apart over time. For the case of cement grout, it tends to weaken. Thus, this means that there are high chances to incur additional expenses while redoing the tile. Epoxy grout requires only light maintenance, and it can last a lifetime.

      Is It Possible To Put Epoxy Grout Over Cement-Based Grout?

      Yes, it is possible to put epoxy grout over cement-based grout. However, it is essential to dig the existing cement out of the joints until its halfway the tile’s depth before doing this process. Scraper or the grout saw is the most appropriate tool to use for this case. This depth is vital for the new epoxy grout so it can adhere to the tile edges and the remaining sanded grout.  For overhead installation, it is crucial to leave the epoxy in the bucket for a few minutes after mixing so it can set up. Through this, the epoxy mixture becomes stiffer and tackier.

      • It works perfectly for any width grout joint
      • Cement grout is a better choice for DIY as it’s every forgiving
      • It takes only a few to set up as opposed to epoxy grout
      • It’s much cheaper as compared to epoxy grout
      • Cement grout seals to protect from bacteria, water, mildew, chemicals, and mold
      • It works best for most applications such as submerged indoors, outdoors, wet, residential, dry and commercial areas
      • It features a few slump cases on vertical surfaces. Cement grout has a thicker consistency, meaning it can hold up well on any wall installation, even in the cases with wider gaps
      • Cement grout is easy to clean
      • It works best for joints that are greater than 1/8-inch. Cement grout is the right choice for the broader joints since it shrinks less and bonds well.

       

      Cons

      • It can get vulnerable whenever exposed to high-traffic environments or high impact
      • Most of the cement grouts get deteriorated whenever subjected to alkali or acid compounds
      • There are high chances for it to feature inconsistent color because of inconsistent drying
      • It features a salty look
      • It is not highly resistant to chemicals or stain
      • Always need a variety of equipment such as tools and sponges since the grout is hard on them
      • Presence of porous features which makes it possible for water to seep down into the cement grout. Therefore, the material is not good since it can cause the growth of bacteria, mold, or mildew under the grout’s surface
      • It cannot work best in narrow joints.

       

       

      Epoxy Grout

      Pros

      • Low porosity features, meaning it is not possible for bacteria, mildew or mold access the area beneath the surface
      • It’s highly resistant to breakage, stains, and abrasions
      • It is the right option for light-colored grouts since it is easy to clean
      • Epoxy grout is highly resistant to chemicals, hence the right choice for substantial commercial, industrial and commercial
      • It is the best option for harsh locations where there’s regular use of harsh chemicals such as schools, healthcare, and commercial kitchens
      • It features consistent color
      • Epoxy grout is a waterproof grout for tiling because of its impermeable nature of plastic. Therefore, this explains why it’s not recommended to seal epoxy grout
      • It is the right choice since it cannot scratch the delicate metal, marble, or glass tiles
      • It has an excellent bond strength
      • Epoxy needs low maintenance compared to cement grout.

      Cons

      • It goes at a relatively high cost compared to cement grouts
      • It’s not useful sealing epoxy grout since this process can compromise its safety and effectiveness
      • The epoxy grout need to be mixed in small batches, and there’s limited working after mixing this grout
      • There are high chances for light colors to turn yellow whenever exposed to sunlight
      • It’s more challenging to work with
      • It consumes much time to apply compared to cement grouts
      • There are high chances for it to degrade whenever it interacts with chemical substances
      • It looks the same even after setting it up. It features a shiny, plastic look, which most of the clients cannot appreciate over a large span
      • There are high chances for it to ruin porous tiles such as natural stones. The epoxy resins are likely to soak into the unglazed tiles or natural stones’ pores, and it’s hard to remove them
      • It’s possible for the epoxy grout to slump down through the vertical joints in the absence of the thicker viscosity and if they are too wide.

       

      Quick overview

      Why Do Bathroom or Kitchen Grout Crack?

      No doubt, grout crack is common and happens mainly due to movement between two surfaces. Homes are continually moving in tiny increments as a result of humidity, foundation settling, temperature, and many other factors. However, if the grout in the kitchen or bathroom is a rigid material, then it results in cracks when a bathtub moves on the way while the installed tile wall moves another way.

      What Is The Main Difference Between Epoxy Grout and Cement Grout?

      As we know, cement grout is made up of some cementitious powder mixture. While epoxy grout is made from epoxy resins, and a filler powder, which however makes epoxy grout extremely durable, non-porous and stain proof. When it comes to cement grout, then this is the cheap grouting option as compared to epoxy grout because of its porous nature. It can easily absorb water and so stain that results in discoloration over time.

      Is Epoxy Grout Waterproof?

      The answer is yes, it is waterproof. Its non-porous nature makes it waterproof. It is resistant to staining, which makes it the first choice of many people. However, it is not recommended to combine it with cement grout as it can result in stain non-resistance.

      What Is Cement Grout?

      Portland cement is the most common type of cement, manufactured from clay and chalk which hardens when undergoes water, and upon getting harden resembles Portland stone in color. Cement grout contains filler particles of various sizes and water-retention additive. No doubt, cement grout has been used for residential and commercial applications because of its multiple properties.

      What is Epoxy Grout?

      Epoxy grout is a unique and popular grout for tiling that does not use Portland cement or water in the mixing process. It features a hardener, pigments, epoxy resin, and silica fillers. Epoxy grout is less porous compared to the cementitious grout. Also, epoxy grouts work best in areas containing greases and acids such as kitchens.

      Why Use Epoxy Grout?

      Yes, epoxy grout features a variety of benefits, but it’s more challenging to work with compared to the regular grout for tiling. Also, epoxy grout tends to feature a plastic look, which a certain percentage of homeowners who are renovating their home don’t like. Other than this, epoxy grout goes at a high cost, and most tilers charge more for using it as opposed to the regular grout.

      Which Are The Places To Use Epoxy Grout Versus Cement Grout?

      Epoxy grout is the choice for tiled floors and showers. It is the most preferred option for these areas since adds a second layer of protection for the moisture that’s under the tile. The first protection layer is the waterproofing section. Also, epoxy grout works best for splashback tiling over vanities.

      Is It Possible To Put Epoxy Grout Over Cement-Based Grout?

      Yes, it is possible to put epoxy grout over cement-based grout. However, it is essential to dig the existing cement out of the joints until its halfway the tile’s depth before doing this process. Scraper or the grout saw is the most appropriate tool to use for this case. This depth is vital for the new epoxy grout so it can adhere to the tile edges and the remaining sanded grout. For overhead installation, it is crucial to leave the epoxy in the bucket for a few minutes after mixing so it can set up. Through this, the epoxy mixture becomes stiffer and tackier.

      Conclusion

      I hope this detailed guide on epoxy grout VS cement grout for tiling will help you understand the use of right form grouting for your home and office. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it is up to you whatever you want to choose for your property. We are always here to help you.

            House Renovation

            Stephanie & Kieran – Bathroom + Kitchen Renovation, Wattle Downs – Auckland

            Stephanie & Kieran Eades

            Bathroom Renovation + Kitchen Renovation

            “To me it just seems like he just slotted in like he’s always known us, there was no awkward moments…he was just a part of the family…very personable, easy to talk to and always calm all the time and thats what we really liked..”

            Wattle Downs, Auckland


             

            Stephanie and Kieran Eades have a young family and basically needed to upgrade their bathroom and kitchen. They had heard a lot of horror stories about companies that blew their budget or did not finish within the timeline. They decided to test the waters of the renovation industry and decided to renovate their bathroom first.

            The talking point of this case study is not a bathroom or kitchen renovation but the relationship that our project manager Jimmy forged with the family. “He slotted right in and it was like he had always known us. There was no awkwardness at all” explains Kieran. Jimmy is one of our main project managers who specialises in managing kitchen + Bathroom renovations and Full home renovations.

            His sunny disposition, ability to talk frankly, and more importantly his calm demeaner gets our clients through even the most stressful of situations. Stephanie felt that his calm attitude made her feel calm throughout the renovation process which can become overwhelming.

            Budget was another aspect of the renovation that the client was worried about as they were weary of renovations costs blowing up during the process. She was happy to know that we give our clients a fixed contract which means that the quote that you have accepted is what you will be paying. You will only find discrepancies in what you pay if we find something like a leakage or rotting floor bases during the renovation.

            In Stephanie’s words “because of the bathroom we have come to trust him and are confident that we will have the same calm experience. And that we will remain within the budget”.

            We completed Stephanie’s kitchen renovation after the bathroom renovation was completed.

            “it is much better than we thought” – Stephanie

            Bathroom renovation

            Stephanie’s aim was to make her bathroom look bigger so she went for white tiles and white walls to give an illusion of space.

            Transcription
            I just wanted to give a lift to this house, renovated and make it look nicer and to use it we always had old vanities and everything, so I just wanted something new and something modern. We were just looking for someone that does everything – that’s what we needed.
            When I called Superior Renovations, the lady said Jimmy will come and see you. So they gave us a time and a date. When he came, we told him what we wanted and he took it down on his paper and it was easy peesy – he made everything look easy.
            The project was done quickly too, so Jimmy was very easy to talk to too and to understand. I wanted a bit like pale colors to make it look spacey – like I think dark colors make it look smaller and thats the idea we had so Jimmy allowed us to pick the tiles and fittings and everything – so that was quite nice, he didn’t just put what he wanted to put.
            He asked us to come to the showroom and pick the tiles, the vanities, the fittings which was really good thing to do. So we picked all the pale/whiter tiles – it looks smaller before and now it looks a little bit bigger now I think because of the tiles and the white paint Jimmy and the team has put.

            Yes I have already spoke to Jimmy and Kevin about Superior Renovations to do the kitchen. What you guys did with the bathroom – was so impressed, so so impressed. I think the kitchen, once we’re ready, we’ll have Superior Renovations, Jimmy and his team to come and do it. Because of the bathrooms, we’ve come to trust him, we’ve come to like his work and the trust is a big thing. And to keep everything in the budget was very important to us, and Jimmy/Kevin and with all the renovation team I think, with the kitchen we won’t be going over budget, I think it will be the same experience we had with the bathroom.

            Thats the reason why I even told Kevin and Jimmy I won’t go looking for any other renovation company for the kitchen, because I like you guys. I wasn’t here during when he was doing it so, I just saw the end result which was really good. I mean we told him what we wanted and he just put it in and he did it, and the end result was what we wanted. It just looks nice and better then we thought, it was really nice dealing with Jimmy.
            To me it’s just like he just slotted in like he’s always known us, there was no sort of awkward moments or any thing like that, just a part of the family – part of the family almost He was very personable, easy to talk to, and was calm all the time, that’s what The way they were calm about everything, I think is also important, it helps keep us calm, because doing a renovation can always be scary but with you guys, working with you guys it’s been very peaceful, it was fantastic.

              Ensuite Bathroom design nz
              Bathroom Renovation

              Five Great Ideas for Ensuite Bathroom Design NZ

              En-suites are all the rage at the moment as they make life a whole lot easier, especially in the mornings! When it comes to design however, our clients are usually overwhelmed by the number of options out there. 

              We have put together a list of ideas to help you design the en-suite of your dreams. 

              1.Modernise with the use of mosaics

              First in the list of tips is actually our favourite one. Make use of mosaics in en-suite bathroom design NZ. Not only does it injects a certain vibrant feel, but it also adds an exotic personality to the bathroom. If you want a nice extra touch, make sure to introduce some decorative lettering into your space and personalize the look even more.

              The use of Mosaic on walls and floors changes the look of the bathroom completely giving it an exotic Moorish feel

              2.Play with the colour pallet

              A bathroom suite can be positioned center-stage if you decide to restrict your colour scheme. The goal here is to reflect the chrome details of a basin or the silver paint finish on a roll-top bath – and choose your elements wisely. Make sure to add more contrasting colors that highlight the originality of your white ceramics or other items.

              3.Introduce a theme

              A theme can work well for your en-suite. In fact, it is one of the best ways to add personality for example an absolutely white bathroom. Another example is a nautical feel as one of the easiest themes to implement – all thanks to the choice of (blue and marine-like) accessories available. To begin, just decide on an accent color and just build up the accessories as you go.

              4.Recreate your favourite hotel bathroom scheme

              One of the best ways to make most of the en-suite bathroom is to find the best ideas from hotels; mastering this design – and re-creating them with your own boudoir hotel-inspired scheme. As you will notice, hotels use strong and textured tiles as well as reflective surfaces in order to build glamour and glitz around a modern bathroom suite.

              5.Patterns are your friend

              Last but not the least in our list of en-suite bathroom designs are patterns. As you probably know, this has become a new modern trend which is embraced by many minimalist-inspired bathrooms as well as functional spaces all around the world. If you want to use patterns in your bathroom suite, make sure to start with one wall and see how much you actually need.

               Are you ready to transform them to reality and give your bathroom a facelift?

                Alma Uka – Full House Renovation for a Rental Property

                Transcription

                “Main reason why I wanted to renovate it was because the property looked a little bit worn out and I needed to do a little bit of a change of plan so I create a little bit of more space I had three things that I was really worried about it was of course budget I wanted to stay within the budget, the quality of workmanship and the timing because obviously this is intended to be rented out again.
                I didn’t have really much idea how long these projects run, the companies for example that I spoke with before, before I got in contact with Superior Renovations they were talking about two months you know, ten weeks and so which with and then the start time they wouldn’t some of the companies weren’t happy to start straight away for example they would be very busy with other projects which with Superior Renovations, Kevin said oh we can start next week.
                Once I got in touch with Superior Renovations, I had a little bit of a plan but I needed someone to put it together for me so I got in contact with Jimmy It just we sort of like that energy he was very approachable he was listening, I saw that he’s very organized as well every suggestion with the idea that I had he would also write it straight away and it just felt easy communicating and easy working with Jimmy.
                He made it look so easy for me, really the process as well was so easy I thought it’s going to be such a time consuming and stressful process but it actually it wasn’t at all Jimmy took me in the office and he set me down with Kevin and he sat me down with designers and we went through all the process and through all that they made few designs for me and let me choose what I want and even I made some minor changes to the designs which they made it work as well and then they showed me you know the materials the colors so I can touch and feel them you know that was really good.
                I picked all the tiles and Jimmy is very patient so I changed my mind about tiles a few times which was very fine with Jimmy he said that’s okay that’s okay we can do it so yeah I chose as I said they took me in their showroom and they said you could just choose whatever you want and it was some suggestions from them about the colors it was very helpful.
                They did even more than I expected them to do my ceiling was really ruined so I wanted a brand new ceiling there were companies would say we can just paint it if you want to save money but with Superior Renovations they said nope we have to change the ceiling but that’s within the budget of course and then they put after they change the ceiling they put insulation as well which I didn’t expect them to do really.
                I absolutely would choose Superior Renovations definitely, I like the whole Process it was so easy working with the whole team really Yeah definitely, I’ve already spoken to some of my friends who are intending to do the renovation that I’m absolutely amazed with the results that have you know that I’ve got with my property, with quality of workmanship with professionalism that they handled every single detail, it was absolutely fantastic I feel like I want to live here, even my son whose, you know maybe he will move in here because he really likes now that the place it really looks brand-new maybe tenant it for a little while if he doesn’t move in here and then we’ll see from then on I don’t know.”

                  House Renovation

                  What should you be paying your builder?

                  These days keeping up with the interior and exterior design trends is way more challenging than ever before. Trends are always changing and what was ‘in’ today could easily be considered dated tomorrow. Cost is another factor that concerns people as they are unsure how much they should be how much they should be paying their builders. 

                  There is no price that is carved in stone when it comes to home renovations. However, there are three important factors that you need to consider. 

                  1.The actual value of your renovations

                  Ask yourself, 

                  ‘How much value will my renovation bring – and what will it add to my home?’

                  Ideally, every dollar that you  spend on your house renovation should give you a solid return on your investment. While some improvements have a higher rate of return, others have a short one. For example, if you hire renovation builders in Auckland for a room addition, the value of a project like that will be big.

                  Kitchen and bathroom renovations are also great in terms of value – and can increase the value of your home, paying back around $1.50 for every $1 spent. A swimming pool, on the other hand, is generally a big investment and something that is difficult to maintain and might not yield a great return.

                  2.Are you renovating your home for profit – or for your comfort?

                  Some people are hire renovation builders to renovate their homes so they can get the best price when selling them. Others want their renovation to pay off in terms of comfort.

                  The idea here is to see the actual purpose of renovating before calling a Auckland renovation builder. For example you might want to erect a wall and split your living room to add another room which will be great if you are renting out the property (another room means a higher rent!). However this will definitely not be great in terms of comfort if you plan to continue living in the house. 

                  3.Where will your money come from?

                  How are you financing your home renovation?

                  If you are using your savings to pay the renovation builders in Auckland, you should avoid the trap of thinking that your project will ‘squeeze itself’ to fit your budget. As you probably see it on TV, renovation projects come with a lot of unplanned renovation costs which is why you should plan your budget ahead and know how much the work will cost.

                  On average, New Zealanders spend from $15,000 to $50,000 for typical home renovations – still depending on the type of renovation and the amount of work needed. So, it is always wise to estimate the costs and work out how much value your renovation will add – whether to yourself or your pocket.

                  We hope that this article helped you determine how much to pay your renovation builders in Auckland!

                    5 Tiny Yet Beautiful Guest Bathroom Ideas

                    Make Your Guest Bathroom Truly Comfortable

                    The guest bathroom should be so nice that those of your household prefer it, but avoid using it in order to maintain its excellence. It’s like the living room, where the lady of your home has situated all the fine china behind a transparent wooden cabinet adorned with floral arrangements and family photos.

                    But getting your guest bathroom “up to muster”, as it were, can be costly if you’re pulling out all the stops. Bathroom Renovations  Auckland wide can easily cost you upto $30,000. The thing is, it doesn’t need to be. You don’t have to effect a total remodel. Here are some ideas for bathroom remodeling on a budget. You can use these, and the five featured below, to help you round out your strategy in terms of designing your guest bathroom.

                    Doing up your walls with decorate murals and paintings can be a great way to add a new life to your bathroom

                    1.Artwork On The Walls/Murals

                    This is a simple beatification technique: put some pretty pictures on the walls. You can choose anything. You might have your bathroom totally agree with the theme in the rest of your home, or you could have it be entirely separate—its own “animal”, as it were. Natural landscapes framed on the walls can really spice up a space.

                     

                    Something else you can do involves actually making the walls in your guest bathroom an art project. How handy are you with a paintbrush? Could you make a piece of art on the walls? Or could you incorporate a fractal, geometric design? There are a lot of options worth pursuing here, and they can all be done with a fair amount of affordability.

                    2.Luxurious Hand Soap With Exotic Aromas

                    Hand soap with a fragrance is simple, and has a big impact. The most simple things are often the most impacting. You can avoid the majority of medical conditions and fully flourish through proper diet and exercise. This is simple, yet effective. So is washing your hands regularly. Accordingly, good soap and reliable water from an aesthetically-designed faucet can make your guest bathroom sing, and won’t cost you much.

                    3.Aesthetically Excellent Vanity Cabinets

                    Vanity cabinets don’t have to be expensive, and they can really make a room feel classy. There are all kinds of options to choose from out there which fit any budget. One excellent resource for bathroom vanity cabinets is Cabinet City; they offer modern and traditional styles in a variety of designs in the States. Auckland also has a myriad of options for vanity cabinets. A few of them are Kohler, Athena and FRECO.  

                    4.Aromatic Candles

                    There are smells to consider when it comes to the restroom. If you want your guests to be at their ease, you’re going to need to take that into advisement. Aromatic candles can make things easier on everybody. When you know you’ve got guests coming over, just light them up. Many are designed such that they’ll burn out safely if you forget—do try to keep from forgetting them, though.

                    5.Reading Material

                    This may sound cliché, but you can put some stylish books sourced from a second-hand store in your restroom. Look for those that are large, professionally printed, and include full-page color pictures. Comic strip collections can be ideal here. So can nature books which show foreign locales.

                    Avoid novels and the like; these aren’t as classy, and the implication of their presence isn’t all that polite to consider. Joke books can also be good, depending on the theme of your guest bathroom décor.

                    Make Your Guest Bathroom An Oasis

                    Using your imagination to design a restroom for your guests that is aesthetically pleasing can help you see the results you seek without impacting your budget. Using a restroom that isn’t your preferred one can be something that makes anybody uncomfortable. If you’ve got a nice guest restroom, this goes a long way to giving those who visit your home the most comfort possible
