If you want to add a little elegance to your home, the bathroom is a great place to start. Since most bathrooms are relatively small, it’s important to be selective about the elements you incorporate so they don’t overpower the room or make it seem too busy. If you really want to take things to the next level when you renovate your bathroom, try implementing a few of these design ideas.
- Make your shower distinctive. The sky’s the limit when it comes to how you design your shower. More and more showers include convenient features such as recessed shelves, built-in benches and custom shower heads. Frameless glass showers are also exploding in popularity, as the clear glass and the absence of a defined frame combine to make the room feel more open, airy and luxurious.
- Use tile creatively. One of the best ways to make a statement in your bathroom is with the creative use of bathroom tile. Tile comes in so many different shapes, sizes, patterns and colors that your options are nearly limitless. For example, you could install subway tile for a classic look that will never go out of style; create an attractive border around your shower using stunning glass mosaic tiles; or add interest with uniquely-shaped arabesque or herringbone tiles.
- Incorporate technology. While we use technology in pretty much every other room of the house, the bathroom is one room where it tends to get neglected. A digital shower is one type of technology you can implement to make your bathroom more tech-friendly. Digital showers have touchpads on which you can quickly and easily set or adjust the water temperature and pressure, allowing you to step into a shower that’s just the right balance of warmth and intensity. Other options for bathroom technology include in-shower televisions, touchless faucets, heated toilet seats and self-flushing toilets.
- Experiment with finishes. Outdated fixtures in unattractive finishes can really detract from the beauty of your bathroom. Fortunately, the finishes used for today’s bathroom fixtures have moved far beyond the shiny brass and chrome popular in the past. With a variety of finishes available to choose from, don’t be afraid to experiment with options such as matte black, satin nickel, satin brass or oil-rubbed bronze. You can even get creative and mix your metals!
