bathroom-redesign

Bathrooms are one of the most used rooms in a house, and we want it to look amazing. You don't even have to completely renovate the whole bathroom to make it look modern and interesting. The look and feel of our bathroom can set the tone for the whole day we have. If it's outdated or unfinished, it will probably leave you in a bad mood. So, changing things up and redesigning your bathroom just might be your next home project. Read on for 9 stylish intervention for your bathroom.

1. Wallpaper

Yes, wallpaper can actually be used in a bathroom. You should consider where the water is falling in your bathroom, is it splashing from the tub, etc. Try to place the wallpaper away from the water source if possible, so it lasts a lot longer. Wallpaper is amazing for bringing in an accent colour or a pattern to liven up your bathroom.

2. Double Space

Wouldn't it be nice to have more space while you are getting ready? Or that you don't have to wait for your turn to wash your teeth or dry your hair? Make a set of sinks and counter space to create a double vanity for you and your partner. You can also add cabinets to each side for more storage space. Not everyone will be ready on time.

3. Include Wood

While it may seem like wood doesn't have anything to do in a bathroom, and that the water and humidity will warp it, that doesn't have to be the case. Instead of using tiles that have the look of wood, you can use actual wood panelling and flooring. It specially treated and covered in a waterproof layer for easier cleaning and resistance to water. Choose darker washes of wood with white bathroom pieces for a luxurious and modern feel.

4. Go Vintage

On the other hand, if you are oversaturated with modern bathrooms, maybe a vintage approach is for you. It's very easy to find a dresser or a vanity in flea markets and vintage shops that you can use as a sink cabinet. You will just need to cut out a place for a sink and choose do you want to keep the vintage look or refinish it for a cleaner look. If your ceiling is high, you can hang a beautiful vintage chandelier for an interesting focal point.

5. Create a Color Palette

Colour is usually the main focus in any room, and it can create certain feelings and looks. You can paint your walls to match the tiles on your floor and add the same coloured decoration for a monochromatic look. You can even use complementary colours for a striking effect. But try not to overdo it or the bathroom will look very busy.

6. New Showers

Showers are essential in a bathroom and very convenient when you don't have the time to take a nice relaxing bath. Nowadays, designers are reimagining showers. You can have them really spacious, floor levelled, even open. Depending on your shower or bath, there are various bathroom shower screen options for you to choose from. Pivot, sliding or fixed, you can choose what best fits you.

7. Interesting Tiles

Tiles are very important in a bathroom. But besides their functionality, they can make or break the design of your bathroom. You can choose neutral colour tiles and add decoration in various colours. You can use pattern tiles in smaller areas for accents and pops of colour. If your tiles are smaller and white or only one colour, you can rip out certain smaller pieces and replaces them in different colours to create interesting tile accents.

8. Create Storage

Storage is important in every room, and especially in a bathroom. We need space for all the towels and toiletries. Don't place your cabinets on the floor, but try to keep them as high as possible to keep them out of reach of water and for easier cleaning. Hanging cabinets also don't eat up any floor space. If you are in the construction phase, creating an alcove in your wall in the bath or shower makes for a perfect place for your toiletries. Add some shelves for even more storage.

9. Add Decor to Your Windows

An interesting decoration can be a stained or leaded glass window. They allow for the light to enter while they block the view. It can maybe be done in some colours that go well with the rest of your bathroom. If you want to keep your normal window but want to have some shades for privacy, why not use shutters instead of normal shades? They are a very fun way to decorate your window and bathroom, they have adjustable slats and you can control how much light goes in. You can even paint them to match.

Since bathrooms are used often, use only material that can withstand water and humidity for a long time. Invest in pieces you will love for years to come. Try to make your bathroom comfortable, and enjoyable every time you use it.
