Consider Your Home and Your Tastes When Choosing a Bathroom Design

Posted on May 27, 2010 | Category: Bathroom Trivia, Featured

A successful bathroom design will satisfy your tastes and needs for functionality, for years to come. The style should reflect personal tastes, while also coordinating with the style of the rest of the living space. For example, if the home is a traditional style, with classic furniture styles, natural woodwork and formal crown moldings, this theme should be carried into the bathroom as well.

Hardwood vanities of oak or cherry are a start. Marble sinks and classic styles for hardware like faucets and towel bars can also help establish the feel of the room. If the space is large enough, other features such as a claw foot bathtub, pedestal sink and plenty of visible wood work will complete the style.

For more contemporary homes, with furniture and accents consisting of clean lines and simple design, an angled faucet with a single control reinforce a modern look. Add a tinted glass shower with uniquely but simply designed tile patterns and you will have established the look within the room. Instead of a traditional vanity, try using glass and steel framed shelving or a modern storage unit. When the bathroom installation is finished, the look can be completed with geometric shaped patterns on drapes or curtains.

If you are handy with cabinet installation, pluming and woodworking or laying tile, this job can be done without a professional. For any areas or jobs that you are unsure of, it is best to consult and use a professional. The money you save in the long run, from not having work re-done or causing damage to your home.

If you are in doubt of the exact style you are looking for, try browsing through home décor publications and photos, to get some ideas or inspiration. You can also visit home improvement or kitchen and bath stores, for further suggestions of your new bathroom design.
