			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Designing a new bathroom can be quite the treat. You’ll not only get to have some fun picking out all of the neat and clever design options, but you’ll also get a great looking space to boot. But when there are thousands of choices for bathroom materials, it can be a daunting challenge to find the right items for your new bathroom space. Use this guide to bathroom design and you won’t miss out on the essentials you need to make your bathroom the perfect space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/showers/VG06063_shower-enclosures.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Frameless Neo-Angle Tempered Glass Shower Enclosure VG06063" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/vigo/shower_panels/VG6063CHCL42W-1.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="585" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Custom Shower</h2>
<p>One of the best ways to optimize your space is by installing a custom made <a title="shower enclosure" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/showers/shower_enclosures.html" target="_blank">shower enclosure</a>. Even the smallest of bathroom spaces can benefit from a custom built shower. Throw in the right tile, a few nifty accessories and classy fixtures for the perfect custom built shower enclosure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/FVN62-72ES-VSL_double.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Torino 84 inch Espresso Vessel Vanity FVN62-72ES-VSL" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/fresca/FVN62-72ES-VSL_1.jpg" alt="" width="582" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Duel Sinks</h2>
<p>When you have to share a bathroom, counter space at the vanity is at a premium. By installing a <a title="Double sink bathroom vanities" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/Double-Sink-Bathroom-Vanity.html" target="_blank">double sink vanity </a>in the bathroom, you’ll be able to use the vanity and sink to do your daily chores while your significant other is doing the same.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/showers/FSP8006BG_shower-columns.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Verona Stainless Steel Brushed Grey Thermostatic Shower Massage Panel FSP8006BG" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/fresca/FSP8006BG_1.jpg" alt="" width="361" height="900" /></a></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Shower Tower</h2>
<p>Shower towers and <a title="shower panels" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/showers/shower_columns.html" target="_blank">shower panels </a>are the ultimate in shower luxury. No shower enclosure is complete without one of these classic fixtures for your shower. What really makes these bathroom additions great is that they are easy to install in existing shower enclosures and don’t require massive plumbing renovations that can cost you a fortune.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/side-cabinets/AB-AT20.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Aregon Tower Cabinet AB-AT20" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/art_bathe/AregonTower_1.jpg" alt="" width="447" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Linen Closet</h2>
<p>Not all bathroom spaces can fit in a linen closet, but those that can really benefit from the additional storage space. Some homeowners often choose to install a walk in linen that helps to increase the size of the bathroom as well as its functionality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/toilets/SSWW1009_all-toilets.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Royal SSWW 1009 Contemporary One-Piece Toilet SSWW1009" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/ariel/SSWW1009_lrg1.jpg" alt="" width="441" height="348" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Water Closet</h2>
<p>When sharing a bathroom, there’s one function that doesn’t go well when others are in the room. A separate <a title="toilets" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/toilets/all-toilets.html" target="_blank">toilet</a> room—or water closet—can help to keep the area private and still allow others to use the space. Be sure that you install a separate ventilation fan for this essential bathroom addition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/whirlpools/VTU-1271_all-tubs.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="71 x 31.5 Freestanding Soaking Tub with Center Drain from the Serenity Collection VTU-1271" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/virtu/VTU-1271_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Separate Tub</h2>
<p>If you’re looking for an elegant addition to your bathroom space, look no further than installing a separate bath. From a simple garden tub to a huge whirlpool unit, separate baths help to define the bathroom space as well as add value to the renovation. Don’t forget that when designing for a <a title="bathtubs" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/whirlpools/all-tubs.html" target="_blank">separate tub</a>, you may need to install electric lines to power the pump.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/faucets/F907-1_tub-shower-faucet.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Boston Adjustable Shower Rainhead F907-1" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/Artos/F907-1_1.jpg" alt="" width="477" height="283" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>His and Hers</h2>
<p>Many master bathrooms are shared spaces. When you add duel sinks, don’t forget to add all of the other great his and her bathroom materials. His and her towel bars, soap dispensers and even <a title="shower heads" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/faucets/Tub-Shower-Faucet.html" target="_blank">shower heads </a>can help to define a shared bathroom space perfectly.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/side-cabinets/MDC-5432.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/virtu/MDC-5432_1.jpg" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/virtu/MDC-5432_1.jpg" alt="" width="477" height="900" /></a></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Plenty of Storage</h2>
<p>No bathroom is complete without the right storage solutions. Plenty of cabinet space can help to create additional storage, but don’t depend on the vanity alone to store your bathroom essentials. Good shelving mixed with a few clever pieces of furniture can help to increase storage for your daily bathroom goodies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bathroom remodeling, renovation and add-ons can be a costly endeavor—especially when you add in the costs of tile, flooring and fixtures. By comparison, bathroom vanities and countertops can be relatively inexpensive. That’s because vanities and their countertops come in prefabricated sizes. While not all <a title="bathroom vanities" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/bathroom-vanities.html" target="_blank">bathroom vanity</a> countertops are the same, choosing the right vanity doesn’t have to be a tough job. With the information found in this buying guide, you’ll have no worries when it comes time to make your vanity countertop purchase.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/HYP-0907LMR-95_all.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Traditional Double Sink Bathroom Vanity HYP-0907LMR-95" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/silk_road/HYP-0907LMR-T-95.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="328" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Sizing</h2>
<p><a title="bathroom vanity" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/bathroom-vanities.html" target="_blank">Bathroom vanities </a>come either preassembled or flat packed and ready to put together. Some have drawers while others do not. Some drawers can get in the way of plumbing parts, so be sure that you take a measurement of the plumbing’s location before you make a vanity purchase.</p>
<p>Most vanities range from 24-72 inches wide and typically widen in small increments like 30, 36, 48 and 60 inches. And because vanity furniture pieces tend to be “one size fits all”, the perfect vanity countertop is easy to find. In some cases, vanity countertops come with the vanity themselves.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/603210-DM_all.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="62 inch Mahogany Bathroom Vanity 603210-DM" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/bellaterra/603210-DM_3.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="540" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Prefabricated or Custom Made</h2>
<p>While prefabricated is the cheapest alternative to vanity countertops, they don’t always work best in a bathroom. Sometimes, a custom made vanity and countertop is required to make a seamless fit. Most of the time, a prefabricated unit will work just fine, but if you’re designing an odd angled counter space, it makes sense to create a custom vanity and countertop from scratch.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/63D7-WWC_all.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="63 inch Hutton Bathroom Vanity in Pearl White Finish 63D7-WWC" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/jandj/63D7-WWC_3.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="361" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Types of Vanity Countertops</h2>
<p>There are only four basic vanity countertop styles available for purchase and are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Molded Single- </strong>This is probably one of the most common styles of vanity countertops and is used very frequently when budgets are tight as this is the cheapest method of construction—prefabricated molded. The sink bowl is molded directly into the countertop or the bowl attaches directly underneath of it. These counters are typically found in the 24-48 inch range.</li>
<li><strong>Molded Double-</strong> Just like a single molded sink with the exception that there are two sink bowls molded into one solid countertop. This style of vanity countertop makes the most sense in a larger shared bathroom space and is typically found in master bathrooms. These countertops are commonly 60-73 inches in width.</li>
<li><strong>Single/Double Cutout-</strong> Not as common as a molded sink, but is certainly used frequently when smaller bathroom budgets are in effect. This bathroom vanity countertop sports a large cutout for the sink and fixtures allowing users to install their own sink. Most of these vanity counters require a sink bowl that sits on top of the counter, while some offer under sink mounting capabilities. These countertops are commonly 24-73 inches in width.</li>
<li><strong>Vessel Countertop-</strong> This style of vanity countertop works only with a vessel sink bowl. This style of sink is becoming more and more common, making this type of vanity counter cheaper and easier to find. There is no cutout for the sink, simply a small hole for both the drain and the fixtures. Common sizes range from 24-60 inches in width.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/WA5272_all.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="72 inch Solid Wood Bathroom Vanity WA5272" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/legion/WA5272_3.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="360" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are seriously considering a bathroom remodel, it&#8217;s crucial that you start with a plan to make sure your bathroom turns out beautifully. Bath remodel task can be overwhelming, so try to avoid mistakes so that the remodel turns out as you want it to.</p>
<p>You can avoid bathroom remodeling mistakes by:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/603215-32DM_all.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="32 inch Mahogany Bathroom Vanity 603215-32DM" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/bellaterra/603215-32DM-BG_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="540" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Devising a Plan</h2>
<p>Make sure you have a plan at hand before deciding on bath remodeling. Take time to actually plan bathroom renovation to ensure best results. It is important to come up with a good layout plan, and the fixtures you choose should complement the bathroom theme.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/faucets/FM007VRB_vessel-filler.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Arc Vessel Faucet FM007VRB" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/eden_bath/EB_FM007VRB.jpg" alt="" width="517" height="900" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Keeping all accessories and fixtures handy</h2>
<p>Waiting for special orders might add to the frustration, especially if you have already torn up your old fixtures and have an unusable bathroom. So before you take a hammer to your bathroom, ensure everything,  including plumbing fixtures, tiles, lighting, vanity, and tub, is on hand. It can be too frustrating to wait for products.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/glass-tile/M61M60M64OS_all.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Blue Horizons Alternative Glass Mosaic Tile M61M60M64OS" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/tile/M61M60M64_offset_lrg.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="571" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Figuring Out Your Budget</h2>
<p>Make sure you have decided your budget before starting with any bathroom remodeling task so that you don’t end up spending far more than what you wanted to on renovating your bath. Then start looking for supplies and fixtures complementing the theme of the décor while also fitting into your budget.  Make the most of your space to ensure you get a stylish bathroom within your budget. If you have a small bath, choose glass doors on showers and tubs. This will open up space. Why not choose a pedestal sink than a vanity?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/side-cabinets/202016H.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Bellaterra 202016H-LINEN TOWER" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/bellaterra/202016H-LINENTOWER-1.jpg" alt="" width="558" height="720" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Keeping the same footprint</h2>
<p>Renovate the existing footprint, rather than putting on an addition in order to create more square footage without the expense of an addition. To do so, place new plumbing fixtures near the plumbing pipes that already exist. This will not only save demolition and reconstruction cost, but also reduce the dust and debris that might make it hard for you to live with.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/whirlpools/VTU-2267_all-tubs.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="67 x 27.5 Freestanding Soaking Tub with Center Drain from the Serenity Collection VTU-2267" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/virtu/VTU-2267_2.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="810" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Thinking about cleaning before choosing</h2>
<p>When it comes to choosing accessories, tiles, and fixtures for a bathroom remodel project, it is wise to consider each choice’s long-term durability and maintenance needs. Most people choose natural stone and travertine for showers and then find them to be quite fragile. Since these require special cleaning products, it is better to choose other materials, including porcelain tile, which are more durable and easier to clean.</p>
<h2>Don’t be overwhelmed with choices</h2>
<p>Don’t bother spending more on high-quality items and fixtures, such as sinks, cabinets, faucets, toilets, tubs, and shower head. Look for good bargains on items you can easily replace, including lighting, drawer pulls, and cabinetry knobs.</p>
<p>You may be tempted to remodel bathroom to the latest trend in design. However, it is important that you don’t simply look for remodeling the bath without considering other options. Any remodeling decision made hastily without considering space may not give you the bathroom of your choice. Try to opt for traditional design and material choices or a blend of traditional and contemporary designs that will make your bathroom spacious and appealing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you seriously considering going crazy with colors in your bathroom? Well, bathrooms are actually the best rooms in the house to experiment with different color combinations. Take the next step forward to transform your bath into a classic retreat.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2327" title="Green-White-Bathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Green-White-Bathroom-767x1024.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="819" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Citron Green-Creamy White-Sandy Brown Color Palette</h2>
<p>Add a signature style to your calming bath with a creamy white, citron green, and sandy brown combination. The near yellow shade of green covering ceiling to floor looks natural. Match this up with striated tiles of sandy brown color. Choose a creamy color tone for the lacquered vanities, which pairs well with other comforting and soothing elements and boosts style in the bathroom.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2330" title="White Bathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/White-Bathroom-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="346" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Shades of White</h2>
<p>Do you know the various shades of white, ecru, and ivory combine to make a visually appealing color scheme? Different shades of white make a bath look expansive and give it a spa-like quality, overshadowing its narrow dimensions. Allow natural light to pass through windows to complement the neutral color scheme, which creates an impression of space and gives a light and airy feel. Applying neutral tones has another advantage, especially if yours is a traditional bath and you wish to highlight its architecture and add oomph to the white surface.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2328" title="Grey Bathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Grey-Bathroom.jpg" alt="" width="541" height="720" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Gray Appeal</h2>
<p>Turn your small bath into a gray haven with richly grained marble in shades of gray and create an elegant exuberance. Use the same marble tile in a spectrum of gray shades on the bathtub, in the shower, and on the floor. Cover the walls in a silver paper to add a metallic sparkle to the bathroom.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2329" title="Orange Bathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Orange-Bathroom.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="651" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Fiery Orange-White Color Combination</h2>
<p>Bold is the word to go when it comes to selecting a sparkling bathroom color scheme. Pick bold orange wall color to add a splash of youthful energy to the bath. Orange and white make for a fiery combination for a stylish bathroom. Use crisp white beaded board for the lower walls, and cover the tub and surround with square white tiles that truly complement the vintage look of the trough sink and emphasize the room’s aesthetics.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2331" title="Yellow Bathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Yellow-Bathroom.jpg" alt="" width="582" height="328" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Butter Yellow-White Bathroom Color Scheme</h2>
<p>To create the ultimate vintage vibe in your master bathroom, use a color combination of warm yellow and crisp white, with white-painted paneling covering a greater part of the room&#8217;s walls, and sunny yellow dominating the upper portion. This color combination is ideal for lifting the aesthetic appeal of the bathroom.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2326" title="Black and White Bathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Black-and-White-Bathroom.jpg" alt="" width="555" height="555" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Black and White Combination</h2>
<p>White marble flooring along with walls painted white look grounded if you can add visual interest to the room in the form of a collection of black accents. Paint the tub black from outside to attract attention and add visual appeal. Black and white create an eye catching color combination and make a bold statement.</p>
<p>Distinct bathroom styles and color schemes reflect your true personality. Use your creative skills to create architectural character in the smallest room in your house and make elegant, luxurious, dramatic, and practical bathroom designs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many homeowners often choose to do their own bathroom remodeling. With such a small space, what could possibly go wrong? Plenty! Electrical lines, plumbing, tiling, framing—it can easily become overwhelming for those who aren’t experienced with these types of projects. That’s where hiring a bathroom remodeling contractor comes into play. Not only can they get the job done right, they might even be able to do the project cheaper than you could do by yourself. Use this guide to bathroom remodeling contractors and find out for yourself exactly what you should expect from your bathroom contractor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/WA3336CC_all.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="36 inch Cherry Solid Wood Bathroom Vanity WA3336CC" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/legion/WA3336CC_1.jpg" alt="" width="533" height="800" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Designer, Architect or Builder?</strong></p>
<p>Not all contractors are the same. Some bathroom contractors only provide access to permits and subcontractors. Others design, draw blueprints and do all of the work themselves. A good rule of thumb to follow is when remodeling a bathroom is to choose a contractor by its size. Smaller bathrooms can benefit from having an all in one contractor do the work. Larger spaces and total renovations are best designed by a professional designer and built by a professional bathroom contractor. Be sure you ask your potential bathroom contractor how much of the work they do themselves before you sign any contracts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/DEC072B_all.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Arlington Modern Double Sink Bathroom Vanity DEC072B" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/design_element/DEC072B_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Contractual Agreements</strong></p>
<p>The contract agreement is a very important piece of paper. It outlines the work on the project and holds your contractor responsible for the work they perform. Be sure that your bathroom contractor includes the following items into the contract to ensure you’re going to get the most out of your new bathroom space:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Materials-</strong> Thorough details about what items will be used, brand names and where they will be purchased.<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Cost Breakdown-</strong> A complete list of materials and labor costs is a must have for any homeowner hiring a bathroom contractor.<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Schedule-</strong> Each phase of the job needs to be defined with a timeline. Dates of completion are important, so be sure to have your contractor include what happens if they can’t conform to their schedule.<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Total Costs-</strong> Keeping your bathroom remodeling project within budget is extremely important. Knowing exactly how much everything is going to cost can help you when choosing bathroom materials for the project. Have your contractor include a cancelation policy to make sure you keep the project from going overboard on the costs.<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Warranty-</strong> Be certain that you get all warranty’s and guarantees in writing. A 1-3 year warranty on labor and craftsmanship is the average warranty but may vary depending upon who is doing the work.<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Subcontractors-</strong> Who is going to do the work? While a contractor is licensed to do the work, the people actually performing the project might not. It’s a good idea to have your bathroom contractor provide you with all of the subcontractors licensing and insurance information so you can see for yourself who licensed and who’s not. <strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Payments-</strong> Many bathroom remodeling contractors ask that a small deposit (roughly 10-15% of the total cost) be made before work begins. As the project progresses through its phases, partial payments may need to be made. Be sure your contractor includes all payment scheduling and information to ensure you don’t get surprised with bills during your bathroom remodeling project.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to decorating your home, bathroom is often neglected. However, you can decorate your bathroom with minimalist design to turn the most used space in your home into an elegant and relaxing retreat to unwind from the stresses of a busy day and create a visual expression of serenity.</p>
<p>Here are a few minimalist bathroom decoration ideas that will bring elegance and calmness to your powder room:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2308" title="minimalistbathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/minimalistbathroom-1024x756.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="454" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Color Selection</h2>
<p>When it comes to designing a minimalist bathroom, coloring is the first thing that comes to the mind.  Well-chosen color accents warm up a space and can make a big difference to the look of the entire room. For a minimalist bath decoration theme, neutral hues are the best option. A sophisticated yet neutral color scheme of silver, plum, or taupe adds warmth and depth to the room. While plum can be used as an accent color, gray or white would do well as the base color. Lime green used along with accents of white and black make a sensual color pattern that soothes the mind and calms the soul. If you wish to go an extra mile with the accent color, why not integrate it with a bright color? It would be a great idea to use a bright color on backsplashes and furnishings.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/DEC305_Contemporary.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Cosmo 60 inch Double Sink Bathroom Vanity DEC305" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/design_element/DEC305_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="463" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Backsplash</h2>
<p>Backsplashes are a must-have in a modern bathroom. When it comes to designing your bathroom in minimalist concept, application of ceramic or granite tile as backsplash to your <a title="bathroom vanities" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/bathroom-vanities.html" target="_blank">bathroom vanity</a> will not only protect the wall, but also lift the décor of the entire room. Go with ceramic if you have a small space in order to create an impression of space. Ceramic reflects light and looks incredible, thus helping create more space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2310" title="minimalistbathroom2" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/minimalistbathroom2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="420" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Clean lines</h2>
<p>Minimalism in bathroom furnishing and fixture means simple architectural design. It is important that you choose sinks, faucets, bathtubs, vanities, and showers carefully for a minimalist bathroom decoration. Choose fixtures using classic materials and decked with simple lines to achieve subtle harmony while still using simple yet elegant designs for a perfect minimalist-style bath.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Aquamarine Square 19mm Sink and Waterfall Faucet Combination C-GVS-901-19mm-10CH" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/Kraus/sink_faucet_combo/C-GVS-901-19MM-10CH-3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="530" /></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Fixtures &amp; Faucets</h2>
<p>When it comes to going with a minimalist concept, your bathroom fixtures should be a pleasure to use and look visually appealing. You can look for space-saving <a title="vessel sinks" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/glass-vessel-sinks/all-vessel-sinks.html" target="_blank">sinks</a>, which can be wall-mounted or pedestal, and streamlined, one-piece toilets that epitomizes minimalist design and does not need an exterior tank. Choose sleek, yet modern in design wall-mounted fittings with minimum ornamentation. Each faucet should be simple and of the right size to appropriately serve its function.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/WC-V18029-39-ESP_Contemporary.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="Allura 40 inch Contemporary Espresso Bathroom Vanity WC-V18029-39-ESP" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/images/products/wyndham_collection/V18029-39-ESP-room.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="540" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Furniture</h2>
<p>Installing understated hardware or touch latches on doors and drawers is a great idea to streamline your bathroom’s look while hiding necessary accessories. Make sure you keep the style consistent with the overall look of the room.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2312" title="minimalistbathroom3" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/minimalistbathroom3.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="289" /></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>More Minimalist Design Ideas For A Modern Bathroom</h2>
<ul>
<li>To add dramatic touches to your minimalist bathroom decoration, use large silver painted pottery and crystal vases. This will create more warmth and interest in the room without too much softness.</li>
<li>Textured glass window, pale floor tiles, and frameless cabinetry are fantastic ideas to design a repeated geometric theme.</li>
<li>Use layers of ivory and taupe to rag and glaze the walls so as to create an appealing faux-stone impression.</li>
<li>Warm accents of taupe and plum and bright silver hues stand out more dramatically, adding elegance to the room.</li>
<li>Find a corner in your bathroom where you receive warm sunlight. It would be a creative idea to tuck away the bathtub in this cozy corner to make the experience extra special.</li>
</ul>
<p>Minimalist bathroom concept is very much in vogue these days for homeowners who love to make a bold statement in their powder room while fusing function with fashion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are thinking of ideas to create a visually larger space, a new paint job can certainly help.  In a small bathroom with no or little light, you can choose a cool color or paint with a little sheen. Typically, you should go for a cool color that doesn&#8217;t get too dark, turning the bath gloomy, or a warm color that doesn’t make it appear smaller.</p>
<p>Light colors splashed on the entire bathroom walls, ceiling, floors, and <a title="toilets" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/toilets/all-toilets.html" target="_blank">toilet</a> are ideally used to create a bigger looking space. Pale and soft color schemes, including neutral shades, pastel tones, are perfect choices that can help enlarge small bathroom. Darker color splashed strategically can lengthen the appearance of the room. Here are some color choices to make a small bath appear bigger.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2296" title="whitebathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/whitebathroom.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="497" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>White</h2>
<p>Pure bright white color looks classic in a small bathroom. If pure white feels too stark, go for white with a peach, pink, or yellow undertone. Though the effect is subtle, a distinct color tint keeps the room from looking cold.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2297" title="pinkbathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/pinkbathroom-1024x760.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="456" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Pale Pink</h2>
<p>The serene pale pink is a unique combination of cool and warm effects. A pink shade with a hint of yellow creates the impression of natural light, with its rosiness warming the room. Pink bulbs also enhance the aesthetic appeal and minimize wrinkles, making you look younger.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2298" title="pearlbathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/pearlbathroom-1024x819.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="491" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Pearl Gray</h2>
<p>Gray is available in an assortment of shades and blends well in a small bath setting. A toned down neutral shade, with a small amount of color added to white, will give the room a touch of color and the walls will not feel like they are closing in. Pale pearly gray with a light shimmery undertone sparkles, lifting up the entire setting. The shimmering effect creates a cool and elegant look, which tends to fool the eye, creating an impression of shifting sunlight.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2299" title="yellowbathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/yellowbathroom-1024x727.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="436" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Yellow</h2>
<p>A classic color, sunny yellow is perfect for painting small bathrooms. As the color of sunshine, yellow warms up a smaller space that doesn’t receive enough natural light. A too brighter shade of yellow will make the room look smaller, while a lighter shade gives the best effect in a tiny space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2300" title="aquabathroom" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/aquabathroom.jpg" alt="" width="603" height="405" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Aqua</h2>
<p>A perfect blend of blue and green, aqua makes a cool color, making a room glow. If you are a marine environment lover, aqua is the perfect shade that gives an expansive feel of a tropical sea. A pale aqua shade makes the small bath appear bigger. You can mix aqua with a golden shade to warm up the space.</p>
<p>Adding color to your bathroom will lift the overall tone of the room. Begin by sanding and cleaning the surfaces that require painting.</p>
<p>Beach colors look sophisticated and elegant. If you can use splashes of beach colors, this can lift the décor of your entire space and enlarge small bathroom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking to update your bathroom, partitioning offers a great option. With a plenty of bathroom partitioning choices available, you can always lift the décor of your space and have your dream bathroom. Adding a partition can change the aesthetics completely while ensuring privacy and separating space. You may use the partition to separate the wet part from the dry area or the toilet from the <a title="bathroom vanities" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/bathroom-vanities.html" target="_blank">bathroom vanity</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2290" title="bathroomdivider1" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomdivider1.jpg" alt="" width="596" height="586" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Bathroom Partition Styles</h2>
<p>While choosing bathroom partitions, don’t go for anything less than moisture resistant dividers, keeping certain factors, such as climatic conditions and material, in mind.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2283" title="bathroomdivider2" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomdivider2.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="312" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Glass Partition</h2>
<p>One of the most popular types of partitions, glass partitions gel well with the theme of the bathroom and provide privacy without blocking light. As glass easily gel well with the décor, a glass partition is available in a range if designs, shades, and colors. Easy to clean and maintain, glass partitions are a great way to indulge in personal leisure. Choose tempered glass, having more elasticity than normal glass, as a safer option, which dramatically reduces injury risk in case the glass is broken. If you are using glass as your shower screen, don’t install it near natural ventilation. Clean the glass daily to make sure it does not become dull overtime as a result of dew and mold buildup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2284" title="bathroomdivider3" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomdivider3.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="406" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Stainless Steel Partition</h2>
<p>Ideal for use in bathrooms, stainless steel partitions are moisture and fungus resistant as well as easy to clean. You don’t need to dig a big hole in your pocket on maintenance of stainless steel partitions. With an attractive satin sheen, stainless steel lifts the décor and adds elegance to the bathroom. You can give coats of different shades and designs to add flavor to your stainless steel divider.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2285" title="bathroomdivider4" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomdivider4.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="450" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Sliding Partition</h2>
<p>If yours is a small bathroom, sliding partition offers the best solution. With sliding roller fittings, sliding partitions can be used to seal or open up the space easily. You can choose from among a variety of choices, including aluminum, plastic, glass, and wood.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2286" title="bathroomdivider5" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomdivider5.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="322" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Brick Partition</h2>
<p>Traditionally popular, brick partitions can be installed after or before bathroom construction. Leaving the brick exposed gives the bath an altogether different look. Or you may paint the bricks or even panel it with tiles to add elegance and style. This will add a contemporary touch to the bath.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2287" title="bathroomdivider6" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomdivider6.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="432" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Aluminum Partition</h2>
<p>One of the best bathroom decoration ideas is to choose aluminum partition walls. Made of beautiful aluminum frames with elegant glass panels, aluminum partitions are durable and completely resistant to rusting and corrosion. If you are looking for a contemporary look, choose aluminum dividers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2288" title="bathroomdivider7" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomdivider7.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="538" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>PVC Plastic Partition</h2>
<p>A widely popular bathroom decoration idea is to use PVC plastic partitions with glass. Since these don’t need wall covering, PVC plastic dividers can be custom-built to fit the dimensions of your entire space. With PVC partitions, let your creativity run wild to add private taste to your bath, where you can relax and rejuvenate after a hard day.</p>
<p>A customized bathroom suite, with complementary partitions, is an ideal way to indulge in personal leisure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Undoubtedly a bathroom is a peaceful retreat, where you can relax, rejuvenate, and lift your senses after an entire day of hard work. It’s a place where you need top privacy while allowing natural light in to create the impression of space. You may like to choose decorative bathroom windows that not only spice up the look of the entire space, but also ensure privacy – keeping out prying eyes. The best bathroom window decor ideas are those that ensure sufficient privacy and help you withstand moisture from steamy showers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2267" title="bathroomwindow1" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwindow1.jpg" alt="" width="507" height="338" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pick windows with opaque, decorative and stained glass that looks beautiful and keeps ultimate privacy while giving a fresh new look to your space, making it look clean, inviting, and spacious.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2268" title="bathroomwindow2" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwindow2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="445" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Large art-glass slightly arched bathroom windows allow you to bathe in natural light, offering bold decoration while helping obscure views from inside and out.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2269" title="bathroomwindow3" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwindow3.jpg" alt="" width="559" height="342" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wall-to-wall bathroom windows are a perfect choice where privacy is not a concern to let the sun sparkle the entire bathroom, with horizontal panels of frosted glass offering dramatic wraparound views of the stunning landscape.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2270" title="bathroomwindow4" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwindow4.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="329" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Porthole bathroom window is a smart choice for a master bath that adds decorative interest to the <a title="bathroom vanities" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/bathroom-vanities/bathroom-vanities.html" target="_blank">bathroom vanity</a>. It not only adds style to the bath, but also allows light to pass through, creating a beautiful look. A large circular window placed high on the wall ensures privacy while allowing you to catch a glimpse of the twilight sky. The windows provide a bird’s eye view of treetops while flooding the bath with natural light.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2271" title="bathroomwindow5" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwindow5.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="461" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A corner window and large mirrors can together double up the space and expand the view from your bathroom retreat.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2273" title="bathroomwindow6" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwindow6.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Window Decoration</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2274" title="bathroomwindow7" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwindow7.jpg" alt="" width="579" height="434" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Window clings are an ideal option if you want plenty of natural light, without sacrificing privacy. A form of vinyl stickers, window clings can be used to allow light to filter through the windows. You can buy window clings in different sizes, shapes, and colors to complement the existing bathroom decor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2275" title="bathroomwindow8" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwindow8.jpg" alt="" width="503" height="394" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Shutters are a perfect fit for bathrooms that allow you to control the amount of light coming through the window. What’s more, these are easy to close for complete privacy. Look for treated wood for shutters, so that humidity doesn’t affect the wood in any way.</p>
<p>Traditional double hung, slider window designs have become the new style of windows bathroom decoration in modern homes for their beautiful appeal, easy cleaning, and great looks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2276" title="bathroomwindow9" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwindow9.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="491" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A swag-and-cascade style is a great bathroom window decoration idea. Hang the drapery style over blinds if you seek more privacy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For more decorative bathroom windows, a simple valance is a good choice. If you have one or two small windows and don’t need them to be fully covered, you may choose from among different types and styles of valances that don’t overwhelm small windows or block sunlight.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2278" title="bathroomwidow11" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/bathroomwidow11.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="486" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Scarves give a serene feel to a bathroom. Check the size of the scarf before going ahead with the purchase, as standard scarves are typically six feet long and can overwhelm a small window. A smaller scarf, with not much fabric, will give you enough room to decorate bathroom windows.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once<a title="glass tile" href="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/glass-tile/All-Glass-Tile.html" target="_blank"> tile</a> has been installed and grouted, it’s time to put the baseboard on top of the tile. But you don’t have to hire a professional woodworker, bathroom contractor or carpentry expert to get the job done. With just a few basic hand tools, a handful of materials and these simple tips, just about anyone with a basic DIY skillset can install their own baseboard.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class=" wp-image-2254 alignnone" title="Miter Saw" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Miter-Saw-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="270" /> <img class="wp-image-2253 alignnone" title="Coping Saw" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Coping-Saw-300x189.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="170" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Tools</h2>
<p>For perfect baseboard in a bathroom space, you’ll need a few tools. A miter saw and coping saw are required to make all of the cuts on the baseboard. You’ll also need a caulk gun and a finish nail gun to attach and finish your bathroom baseboard. Hand tools like a hammer, nail punch, tool pouch, pencil, tape measure and utility knife are all good tools to have handy for this project as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2259" title="Baseboard" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Baseboard.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="420" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The First Piece</h2>
<p>Begin the first piece of baseboard on the right side of the room and work your way around to the left—counter clockwise. If you’re left handed, then install it in a clockwise direction; or right to left. You’ll see why this is in the next step.</p>
<p>Measure from one edge of the wall to the next. Make the first cut square as well as the last, unless it’s an outside corner. Cut the baseboard tight and square and attach it to the wall using a bit of caulk and a few 8d finish nails either shot from a nail gun or hand driven into the baseboards face, 2/3 of the way down from the top.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2260" title="Baseboard2" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Baseboard2.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="250" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The Next Piece</h2>
<p>Cutting the next piece is easy enough. Simply measure between the two walls and cut the piece to length. Only this time, the end of the baseboard that fits into the corner against the wall will be cut on a 45 degree bevel. Make sure the long point of the bevel is where the end of the measurement lies and not the other way around with the short point being the overall length.</p>
<p>The little extra end that you didn’t cut off now has a profiled edge where the trim face meets the 45 degree cut. This line is where you’ll need to make another cut using the coping saw. Cut out the extra bit, making sure you follow the line with the coping saw exactly. You now have a profiled edge that’s the exact shape of the trim. Put the now cut piece over the first piece for a perfect corner with no gaps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2261" title="Baseboard3" src="http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Baseboard3.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="462" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The Other Pieces</h2>
<p>Work your way around the room cutting one side of the baseboard flush and the other side on a 45 degree bevel, then cutting out the 45 degree end with a coping saw. Attach the baseboard to the walls about very 4-6 inches apart. Caulk the top of the baseboard to seal it in place without gaps. You can also caulk the corners with a caul gun to prevent cracking and gaping later on down the road. Outside corners should be cut on one end with a 45 degree angle and attached. Use a scrap piece to find out what angle the opposite side is before you commit a full piece to a cut.</p>
