Colour
Shower curtains and screens allow you to express yourself, allowing you to choose from an array of designs. Or a framed mirror can add character and personalization to an otherwise dull area.
Bathrooms can be challenging spaces to inject color into, particularly when covered in white tiles, but vibrantly-hued fittings can add vitality and vibrancy. Use them to add some flair in a walk-in shower enclosure or as a striking contrast against darker walls.
Grey bathroom tiles have made a major statement in interior design, transitioning from their 70s hospital floor roots into trendy materials for both walls and floors. You could go for an all-grey aesthetic or combine grey tiles with other tones such as blush pink, green or blue for an eye-catching design scheme.
Floral motifs are a classic way of adding decorative interest and vibrant colors to a bathroom space, such as this contemporary bathroom idea with floral-patterned wallpaper covering its walls. Here, a botanical motif covera simple bath tub, drawing attention to its sleek design alongside that of basin and toilet.
Textured flooring, terrazzo tiles or wall tile add an instant splash of color into a bathroom space, whether through hand-finished woven vinyl floor like this one from Emery & Cie or hand-finished porcelain such as their Zelliges porcelain that features mottled finishes that give the appearance of aged stone.
Materials
When considering redesigning your bathroom, the materials you choose for use is of great significance. High quality materials last longer and reduce repair expenses in the long run; additionally they’re more eco-friendly, helping lower energy bills.
Melamine is a cost-effective and maintenance-friendly choice when selecting materials for the bathroom, making it one of the top choices among bathroom materials. Available in wood-imitating finishes and moisture resistance, melamine also stands up well against heat damage and scratches while being scratch resistant – two qualities ideal for counter tops.
Wood and natural stone can also be good choices, although wood requires more upkeep due to being susceptible to water damage, while marble is considered a luxury material that may be very costly; additionally it may chip and crack with age so sealing should be performed regularly on its surface is recommended.
Once you’ve decided on the right material for your bathroom, add accessories to add that final flourish. Here’s where your creativity can shine; whether that means hanging framed prints, rope, or wall organizers to elevate its aesthetic a bit further.
Lighting
lighting is one of the cornerstones of successful bathroom design, and with modern technology making it easier than ever to achieve stylish illumination in this space. Be on the lookout for fixtures that can be dimmed down for night use or linked with motion detectors to automatically turn on when entering.
Recessed downlights are often the go-to choice when it comes to overhead lighting, due to their versatility and easy installation process. According to Sally Storey, though, positioning these lights strategically is crucial; she advises using them strategically instead of gridding across an entire ceiling, which could leave it feeling dark and forbidding.
Sconces can also be an excellent way to highlight features in your bathroom space, as seen here in a New York bathroom designed by Falken Reynolds Interiors. They are particularly useful when fixtures can’t be placed directly on walls due to windows (such as this quintessential English bathroom by Base Interior) or architectural features like doors and arches preventing their placement directly against them.
Skylights can make an excellent addition to a bathroom fittings particularly if installed near high ceilings and corner areas. By providing natural lighting they reduce mold and mildew while creating the ideal atmosphere for relaxing baths and showers.
Mirrors
An otherwise plain bathroom can quickly become dull and outdated without some flair of design. Making even small modifications to a mirror can instantly inject an element of design, making the space feel luxurious. A frameless mirror with unique shape or style is sure to stand out, while wooden-framed ones can be updated by painting them with special wood paint in any color of your choosing; be sure to protect the surface with durable sealant to safeguard it against water and wear-and-tear!
Large mirrors are your go-to solution for reflecting light in your bathroom, but other reflective surfaces can add visual interest as well as enhance lighting. Placing smaller mirrors around the room will increase visibility while simultaneously improving illumination. Incorporating a bath shower will bring another exciting element that diffuses natural or artificial lighting around the room for optimal illumination and an inviting, welcoming ambiance.
If your bathroom lacks natural lighting, a large mirror can make the room appear larger and brighter by reflecting light off its surface and reflecting it back onto itself. This technique works particularly well if placed directly opposite a window for maximum effect; you can even create an eye-catching focal point by interspersing other decorative items between mirrors such as artwork or flowers for an added effect.
