Decorating Your Bathroom for Halloween

Halloween is right around the corner and the Night of the Living Dead is sure to bring some surprises to the Nassau County area. Just kidding, but it doesn't hurt to get in the spirit of the season and what better place to start than the bathroom. There are a number of different things you can try and there is no limit on where you can take it. Put your creativity to the test and see just how festive you can make the bathroom or bathrooms in your home! 

Scented Candles

Everybody loves a pleasant fall scent. Whether it is a nice apple crisp or pumpkin pie, everyone enjoys satisfying their nostrils. So why not bring these scents into the bathroom? Yankee and American Candle both offer a line of fall flavored candles that are sure to spice up any room in your home!

Fall Curtains

The bathroom window really ties together the whole room. If your paint allows it, you should consider throwing a fall themed curtain on your rod. Maybe one that features a Halloween pumpkin or a nice orange and green blend that lets your guests know you're in the fall spirit!

Pumpkin Dispenser

Your soap dispenser doesn't have to be bland and boring, it can draw eyes to your beautiful vanity set up. If you don't want to go all out with the pumpkin, you could just pick out a dispenser that matches your fall themed bathroom. If you're really into design, you can also pick out some hand towels or napkins that bring together all of your decor. 

Spooky Shower Curtains

We've all seen the horror films where the man jumps out from behind the shower curtain to haunt his targets. Well, you could scare some guests by purchasing a spooky shower curtain of your own. You could go online and scroll through a number of curtains that feature shadows of Jason, Freddy Krueger and some of your other favorite Halloween villains. It is sure to spook at least one unsuspecting bathroom goer.  

Unfortunately, decor is not the only thing we have to worry about in the bathroom. Halloween leads us directly into Thanksgiving and that means more guests will be pouring into your home and using your plumbing. It is up to you to take the proper precautions and make sure your pipes, fixtures and faucets are prepared for a busy holiday season.

What You Need To Know About Floor Heating

Floor heating, or radiant floor heating, has been around since Ancient Rome and it is gaining popularity of late. Traditional heating systems do a great job throughout the winter, but they leave out one key component-- the floor. We all know heat rises, so what better place to start then the bottom of your home? Keep reading to learn a little more about what radiant floor heating can do for you. 

No More Cold Feet 

On those cold, New York winter mornings, there is nothing worse than getting out of the shower. It's nice and warm on the inside, but the last thing you want to do is put your feet on the iceberg that is your bathroom floor. Well, installing a heating system on that very same floor can take away all of your fears. Start ending your showers with confidence! 

Smooth Heat

Compared to a forced air system, floor heating gives you a nice even temperature. When air is blown into a room, it settles near the ceiling and then only half of your body is getting the desired temperature. With a radiant floor system, it builds from the bottom up, evenly distributing heat along the way. 

Options

Radiant floor heating has evolved over the years and it has split into two main categories. 

• Hydraulic Systems- These floor heating systems tend to have a high initial cost with a lot of savings down the road. They pump hot water through a series of plastic pipes under your floor to maintain the desired room temperature. Over time, this saves a ton of energy because the hot water is often recycled and pumped back through the system. It is also better for indoor air quality and homes where people have asthma. 
• Electric Systems- These are perfect for heating small areas like your bathroom but they are often too expensive for the entire home. This system uses a series of plastic mats, which contain copper wires that radiate heat throughout the room.
