Most of us don’t think about it, or want to think
about it, but we spend an awful lot of time in the bathroom. Because of
the amount of time we spend in the room, designing a bathroom is very
important.
If you are remodeling or building a new home you
should spend as much time designing the bathrooms
as you would on the kitchen. Right now big Jacuzzi tubs are very
popular, as are garden tubs, showers with two heads, and a bathtub
separate from the shower. Many homeowners are opting to put the toilet
in its own little room for privacy and a clean look to the room.
A pedestal sink
works well, but a vanity is also nice and often adds to the resale
value, especially if it is a double sink vanity. The layout of these
items will typically depend on where you can get water and the actual
shape of the space.
Even if a bathroom has the most ideal layout for
the space, it can be a very cold room if not decorated well. Good
bathroom design usually involves simple accessories and a good use of
color.
If your bathroom has very little light you should
go for light colors and mirrors to make the room look brighter and
bigger than it is. If the room has natural light you can go for a
darker color.
Accessories don’t have to be anything that isn’t
functional but matching accessories such as towels, bath mats, rugs, and
shower curtain can bring a whole new
look to your bathroom. Accessories should say something about you and
who you are, so that you can really own the space and feel comfortable
in it.
