When we think about changing something in our home, we rarely think of our bathroom. This is because any change has to be thought about twice because of plumbing, fixtures and electricity. But there are ways to give your bathroom a makeover without tearing the entire bathroom down. Let’s see how you can and a bit of style and start a bathroom makeover project.
Start with the layout
Bathrooms are quite limited in space, and certain fixed elements cannot be changed. You must organise the bathroom layout around the bath, toilet, and sink. However, every other element can be repositioned to create a different layout. So, before you go into this makeover, take everything you can out of the bathroom. This will help you visualise a different layout and begin the bathroom makeover.
The lighting
We all know how important proper bathroom lighting is. We don’t just need it for flawless makeup application, we also need it to master bathroom selfies. Rethink how current lighting casts a shadow from above as you do your makeup. If this is the case, try including accent lights. Place them strategically where needed to create the desired effect and to have proper light for makeup application. Apart from this, they will add a touch of sophistication and a lot of warmth.
High-tech features
If we’ve embraced smart technology in our everyday lives, we can also integrate it within our bathrooms. For example, you can add a bidet you can control via a wireless controller and level up your bathroom experience. You can also add heated flooring, so you don’t have to step on cold tiles after a shower. Also, a Bluetooth speaker is ideal when you are taking a bath. Lastly, a smart shower head can easily turn a regular shower into one with perfect temperature and flow pressure.
Choose a minimalist colour palette
If you want your bathroom to be a perfect shade that makes other elements pop, go for neutrals. Neutral colour schemes will accentuate other elements, such as fixtures, mirrors and other design elements. Consider whites, greys, and beige as a timeless backdrop for everything else in your bathroom.
Update bathroom fixtures
Let’s face it: fixtures are the first to show signs of wearing down. You use them every day and clean them with harsh chemicals. Maybe the enamel has worn off, or they have lost their shine. So, it might be time to update bathroom fixtures. From faucets, towel bars, and shower heads to even toilet paper holders, you add a touch of new to your existing bathroom design.
Think about textures
Different textures can perfectly complement your new bathroom fixtures. They can even add a touch of luxury if you go for a marble countertop. Also, you can have textured tiles or rich and plush towels mixed together to add different textures.
Open shelves
Open shelves give you plenty of storage and also increase the aesthetics of your bathroom. Toiletries usually come in different luxurious containers, so displaying each one will further beautify your bathroom. You can go for floating shelves and put them on the walls or built-in niches. You can curate each display with a mixture of toiletries, scented candles and interesting figurines.
Freestanding tub
If you want something to be a focal point of your bathroom, then we have a perfect suggestion for you. A freestanding bath is both a luxurious statement and easily a focal point. Everything else will face in comparison to this beauty, especially if it is a classic gold-plated clawfoot bathtub. Nonetheless, a bathtub is a timeless addition as it turns any bathroom into your private spa oasis.
Natural elements
While we’re on the topic of turning your bathroom into a private spa, incorporate natural elements. You can easily add some plants that can thrive in the bathroom atmosphere. You can also add some stones, which will add additional texture. Also, you can add wooden accents for a bit of added warmth and nature into a modern bathroom design.
