Tips For Better Bathroom With Your Own Design

August 19, 2009

Are you planning to redesign your bathroom? The best way to start is to check other bathrooms to get bathroom design ideas. You can visit your friends’ bathrooms, check houses for sale, check out home design magazines, and browse the internet for inspiration. But before further actions, ask yourself questions to generate your own bathroom design ideas. Do you want a soothing bathroom for relaxation or a practical, functional bathroom?

Bathroom for relaxation can be achieved by separating the space into small areas. Put some soft lighting near your tub, a cozy dressing area with plenty of space to try on outfits, and a bench in between two vanities so you can sit while getting ready. Use simple, elegant containers to group your supplies. Keep hair care tools in one area, shower supplies in another. Consider how you get ready in the morning and design your bathroom space efficiently.

For the sake of simplicity, you may add special space to put makeup things on over the bathroom sink, add a separate sink and mirror for you to put on make-up while your partner brushes his or her teeth at the other sink with no bumping into each other. Put the shower and toilet in a separate area so one person can groom while the other bathes.

In a small room, make sure to keep only the things you actually need. Mount cabinets to the wall so that they open up floor space. Use a sliding pocket door to tuck your bathroom door away. Keeping your color scheme neutral will quiet the space. Use different shades of the same color all over the bathroom, and use brighter colors and accents. Also use different textures like wooden baskets, smooth tile, and soft towels to add interest, and mirrors to stretch the space.
