Update Your Bathroom Design by John Cherveny
Whereas the kitchen is usually the ideal place for family moments and entertaining guests, the bathroom is a synonym for privacy, peace, and relaxation. This part of your home stands out thanks to technical details like size and plumbing fixtures, and due to a successful mixture of luxury, aesthetics, and comfort.
Interior designers can work miracles but it is you, the main user, who has the final say in the subject. Whether it is a shared or individual space, your imagination is free to run wild in this special kind of restroom with the following elements to keep in mind.
The Finishing Materials
The first decision towards a bathroom’s ideal design is to match the home’s décor or building it with a spirit of its own. This usually depends on the bathroom being located inside a bedroom, next to it or in a completely different room.
Either way, wood is always welcome for a touch of warmth and coziness. It can be applied to flooring, cabinet’s doors, walls, furniture, windows, and doors frames, and even in small decorative objects like bowls and lamp stands.
Stone and tile are also trendy when it comes to sleek and sober looks. If that is your case, you could go for black slate work to turn your shower area into a retreat oasis.
The Tub and the Shower
A bathroom can revolve around a tub, whose dimensions and design lines depend entirely on the space you count on and the style you aim for.
For example, you could consider a Japanese soaking tub that perfectly fits reduced spaces while its depth allows for full submersion. If space is not a problem, a full-size tub with clean lines adds an elegant and modern look to your restful moments.
Having a separate shower stall provides the opportunity to make it shine with crystal seen-through doors, dual showerheads, and built-in racks for bath supplies or even a modern whirlpool system.
The Storage
Co-use is a fundamental factor, especially when it comes to master bathrooms, which are for two users, in most cases. This leads to co-storage, meaning that every accessory, toiletry, beauty product, and linens need to be kept separated and functional.
You can opt for the traditional full-length countertop with two sinks, creating individual areas for both users to interact simultaneously in the bathroom. This way, you can both storage, organize, and use your belongings as you feel like.
Another approach involves popular sneaky storage. Though it is quite useful to keep all your bathroom implements at simple sight, some items might be better off concealed like sanitary pads, garbage bins, and cleaning appliances. For this, you can use buried niches or pullout shelves, cute wall cubbies and/or mirror cabinets.
The Details
Your bathroom is your own personal paradise and you can indulge yourself with beautiful and handy features, such as a seating area to ease dressing and undressing tasks or a secluded area for the toilet to avoid discomfort due to odors and increase privacy.
The hardware can play a significant role in the final flair you mean to boost. Sensor-activated faucets, for instance, make a fine selection if you wish a modern feel. Or, you can choose rusted-looking plumbing fixtures for that vintage allure that never dies.
You can keep it classic or you can be as bold as you wish. Are you up for a bath inside the bedroom? Though this contemporary fashion divides public opinion, there is no doubt it is a luxurious complement to originality within your bathroom experience and overall home design.
