It can be easy to overlook aesthetics and design in bathrooms in favor of pure functionality. While this room more than likely will not be the first room to make an impression on your guests, a bathroom’s look and feel are important too! In this blog, we’ll teach you how to use this common space in every home to share your style, add higher-end touches, and make the most of recent design trends. 

Showcasing your personality

• Think about your dream bathroom. Are you inspired by a spa-like oasis? Do you want to bring bold prints and colors into your home? Let yourself think beyond the basic use of the room and dream big. 
• Remember, a bathroom is a great smaller space to explore your style. Consider trends like going dark on the walls with a charcoal or hunter green color, or using wallpaper and wainscoting to make a statement. 
• You can also bring decor into the bathroom that supports your vision for the room. Don’t forget to consider art prints, colored towels, candles, and storage solutions that add more than function.
• Incorporating texture is also easy to do in a bathroom. Think natural storage baskets for towels, or a jute rug under your feet at the vanity.

Incorporating high-end elements and trends

• Mirrors with elegant or interesting touches can elevate the space and add visual interest, versus a plain mirror.
• While your backsplash serves an important purpose of preventing moisture damage, you can also use it to add a high-end look. Consider taking the tile up to the ceiling, or cover the entire wall. 
• Floating shelves are an easy way to add interest to small spaces like a water closet. You can even use them in unexpected places like above the bathtub. 
• Swapping out basic hardware like towel bars and even light fixtures can add elegance to the space without a large price tag. 
• Consider laying out your floor tile in an unique manner. Arranging them in diagonal lines, for example, can even make your bathroom space appear larger, while adding visual interest to the floor. 
• Undercabinet lighting is a great value-add in the bathroom – especially if it’s motion-activated for those late-night visits.
