In the month of May, we’ve been talking about technology in the bathroom. From upgrades you can do yourself to products we enjoy, technology is definitely finding its way into our bathrooms and showers. But what if you haven’t even gotten that far yet? What if you’re still stuck on figuring out your style or planning your layout? Well we’ve found a solution for that too. It’s a different side of technology we’re talking about today, but one you’re already fairly familiar with: the internet.
When it comes to great-looking bathroom remodels, there’s often a fine line between an easy DIY project and an expensive contractor job. Wouldn’t it be great to have a better idea of what you’re getting into at the start? That’s exactly how Roomations can help. Roomations is a website that connects homeowners with interior designers who will prepare a complete design and shopping list for your bathroom makeover before you start the dirty work.
Here’s how it works.
1. Take a style quiz to uncover your personal style profile. The Roomations style quiz is not only tons of fun (especially when you start to compare your own results with your friends or your spouse) it also informs the interior designers that will suggest ideas for your bathroom’s new look. Fortunately, you don’t need to know any design lingo to take the quiz – just pick the images you like best and, voila! Roomations will describe your style.
2. Upload photos of your room. If you have a digital camera or an iPhone, you don’t need to schedule an appointment for a designer to come to your house. Just upload photos of your bathroom to the Roomations site and answer a few questions about the project—like your budget, basic room measurements, and whether you plan to do the work yourself or hire a contractor.
3. Choose your designers. You can select up to three different designers to provide Style Boards (mood boards that suggest a look and feel including major materials and colors) and then pick your favorite for development into a vivid 3D picture of what your bathroom will look like.
4. Go shopping! At the end of the process, you’ll know exactly what your bathroom will look like after the remodel, what products you’ll need, where to buy them, and how much it will cost. You can choose to pick up these products and materials on your own at mainstream retailers, or hand over your 3D pictures and shopping list to a contractor for implementation.
Roomations has a variety of design packages to choose from, with cost ranging from $250 to $520 depending on your needs. During the month of May, take the Roomations Style Quiz and receive $100 to use towards your next Roomations purchase.
