An effective yet overlooked technique yeilds small bathroom remodel ideas

Deciding exactly what you want in your new bathroom remodel is possibly the most difficult thing that you will have to do in your whole renovation project. What you decide to put into your small bathroom and how you arrange the items in the room will become part of your life for potentially a very long time so there is a lot of pressure to get this part of the project right.

There's a little known technique that has helped me with problems like this in the past and it has proven to be a very effective and powerful technique. Simply put, go and view property that could give you the ideas and inspiration that you need.

Start with your family, friends and neighbours. Ask around to see if anyone knows of anyone with a new bathroom that would let you go and take a look. You might get some good ideas from this but sooner or later you will run out of people to ask and places to go and see. What then?

Real Estate Agents have an almost unlimited supply of properties that they will be only too pleased show you around if you let them think that you are a potential buyer. They make good money from showing people around properties so why not use that to your advantage.

Why Real Estate Agents should be pleased to provide this service

Now you're probably thinking that it's a little deceitful and wrong to use Real Estate Agents in this way. Persuading them to show you around properties that you have no intention of purchasing sounds wrong doesn't it.

Don't feel this way because you might actually see a property with an excellent bathroom that's perfect for your needs. Moving house could be a much easier and even cost effective way of obtaining your perfect bathroom makeover.

Selling Real Estate is the same as selling anything else. If the agent shows enough people around a property then one of them will buy it regardless of why they are looking. The Real Estate Agent should know this and be pleased to show you what you want to see.

I know of more than one person who started looking for ideas using similar techniques and ended up buying instead. You might want to be careful in case you do too.

What to say to your Real Estate Agent

Now that I've persuaded you that the Real Estate Agent should be pleased to provide you with the service that you need to help you to complete your new bathroom design what do you tell the agent? Some agents might not see the benefit to them in what you're doing so it's best not to tell them too much. Simply tell them that you want to live in a property with an amazingly beautiful bathroom.

Make a bathroom remodel gallery of pictures

Make sure that you measure, make notes and take lots of pictures of bathrooms that you view. You can usually take room measurements straight from the property details but you will need to take a tape measure with you to make a more detailed drawing. Make sure that you take pictures of the ceramic tile patterns as well as the fixtures.

You can download some free graph paper to help with the drawings from here: Free Graph Paper For Bathroom Remodeling Ideas:

Print copies of the bath remodel pictures that you like the best

You will see some bathrooms that you hate and you can discard those details immediately. Make sure that the Real Estate Agent knows about these so that they can avoid sending you to see similar ones.

Print out some pictures of the ones you like and keep them close to you while you continue to view the endless supply of newly remodeled bathrooms that the agents are supplying you with. Don't stop viewing new bathrooms until you are confident that you have enough ideas. It can take some time but the results will be worth it in the end.

Draw a plan for your new bathroom makeover

When you've got all the bathroom remodeling ideas that you need the final part of the process is to locate and specify the fixtures that you want and draw a plan on graph paper showing your bathroom renovation design in detail.

I hope that I've inspired you with this idea generating trick for small bathroom remodeling and hope that your design turns out great. Viewing property for sale is also a lot of fun so why not give it a try.
