Yahoo! - 7 Stylish Bathroom Remodel Ideas
You've lived with that pink tile in your bathroom for way too long. You've been longing for a place to relax and be pampered from life's stresses and you're finally ready to renovate your bathroom.
But where do you start with a bathroom remodel? According to one expert, you should aim for the "hotel experience."
"My clients want that hotel experience with neutral colors and a more luxurious feel with such things as towel warmers, heated floors, and a large shower with benches," says Davia Gallup, owner of Homefront Interior Design in Davenport, Iowa.

#1 - Neutral Colored and Radiant Heated Floors
If you walk into a spa, you get a feeling of spaciousness without sacrificing the coziness. The subtle colors, natural materials of stone and wood, plus those luxurious cuddly robes, invite you in to relax.
So, how can you get that same effect in your own bathroom?
"If you want to make the space look bigger, putting a neutral colored floor is one of the ways to do it," Gallup says. However, if you want wood floors in your bathroom, you'll have to be pretty neat because you have to wipe up the water after every shower to avoid damage to the floors.
Luckily, there's a way to get that wood look without all the fuss. In fact, new innovations in the tile industry allow you to put down a tile floor that looks just like wood, but still has the easy cleanup of tile.
"These new floors are really cool looking, and you can't tell that it isn't hardwood," Gallup says.
How else can you make this your perfect bathroom? How about keeping your feet warm on cold mornings with a radiant heated floor?
"It's not complicated at all to install them for contractors, and you can put the floor on a timer so it's warm when you hit the bathroom floor in the morning for your shower," she says
