Bathroom Remodeling
For most homeowners, designing a new bathroom is a much anticipated event, having lived with the builder-grade standard issue white tile and cabinets for so long.
AKBM specializes in helping homeowners create beautiful new bathrooms. Except for the largest of remodeling projects, we are usually looking at keeping the existing bathroom size and upgrading the various components which may include cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, tubs, shower, tile and lighting.
For cabinetry, AKBM offers solutions from Wellborn and Kraftmaid. Both are industry leading cabinet manfacturers with a wide variety of cabinet styles and finishes from which to choose.AKBM can also offer custom made cabinetry from Cabico, for those with discriminating tastes.
We like the bath products from Kohler, not only for their quality, but also because they have coordinating suites of products which enhance the overall design effect. For those designs that employ colored fixtures, we recommend choosing products from a single manufacturer.
There are several design approaches with respect to the shower area including:
- pre-fabricated acrylic enclosures
- tiled showers
- showers fabricated with solid marble or granite walls
The first solution is an option for those on a very limited budget. We find most customers opt for a tiled shower, as this provides a great new look for a reasonable cost.
For those with discriminating taste, a solid granite or marble shower is truely impressive. Add a body spa waterfall and pump for an unbelievable showering experience.
Adding framed mirrors and new lighting is a great way to enhance the look of your bathroom. We also like to change the bathroom accessories to coordinate with the finish selected for the faucets.
AKBM specializes in creating beautiful tile designs for homeowners. This is one area that has a huge impact on the overall look in the bathroom. Tile choices range from ceramic or porcelain, natural stone such as travertine or for a truely high end look, polished marble or granite.
And finally, let's not forget the simple things like new paint or wallpaper. As you will see from the design gallery, they can make a huge impact on the overall look.
We look forward to exploring these choices with you.
