Renovation is the process of eliminating the old and replacing it with a more innovative, ideal and technical item than previous. For example, in the 1990s people did use normal toilets whereas in today’s world high-tech toilets, commodes, sensor-based water nozzles are being used.
Imagine a scenario. Your old bathroom in a residential building needs renovation. It needs renovation because you want to set a smoke detection, automatic fire sprinkler, sensor-based washbasin, install modern bathroom floor tiles and so on. Moreover, as you want to give your bathroom a more energizing and plain finish, you may want to re-paint the walls with modern walls paints of different colors or put some drawings on the walls.
To do the aforementioned kinds of renovation, there are a few processes you can follow. In the traditional process, you will have to select the colors, drawing and everything before it is built and then wait to see how it goes with the overall scenario. But as you know, what we think in our marvelous brain is not always can be put on reality and thus following this traditional process can ultimately result in something very different from what you thought to have.
The second process could be hiring an expert or architect to design your bathroom. This process often is too time-consuming and requires a handsome amount of money, thus making it difficult for some people. Moreover, sometimes you may feel that the design you wanted is not that design presented by the architect.
The third way is to design the whole bathroom by yourself. Yes, by yourself.
Now you may think, designing the bathroom for renovation is not possible with your bare hands when you do not possess any particular skills. But believe me, there are some tools that can help you to alleviate the problem of experience. Moreover, these tools sometimes are so easy to operate, that even a beginner can design something mesmerizing.
Now follow the below-mentioned processes to start renovating your bathroom virtually.
To design a renovated bathroom, the first thing you have to do is to think. Think about how you want to see your renovated bathroom. Think about where to put the amenities, which color to the walls, what kind of washbasin, what types of floor coverings, think about the lightings, curtain, bathroom furniture and so on. Write down what you just thought or make a list with full details.
Now we have to measure the room you are going to build virtually. To do this take three measurements: Length, width and height. Is there any bend or special corner in your bathroom? Take the measurement as well. Draw a hand sketch on paper. The sketch need not be accurate. On the side of the hand sketch, write down the previously made list.
Now in your hand sketch draw some outline of the amenities you want to put or just fix a probate location.
This whole process would not take more than 30 minutes. You can do that, right?
You just prepared yourself to make a virtual bathroom and then redesign that as per your wish.
