The bathroom is the home’s midpoint, the space where we go from languid homebody to geared-up go-getter who is ready to take on the world. It’s the room where we wash away the cobwebs of a good or bad night’s sleep and fab ourselves for the day to come!
Therefore, the bathroom needs to be a space we feel good about. And not just good, but a space where we step into and say, “yes, I designed this space to perfection, and it fits my needs down to a fine art”.
To make this idea a dream reality, one must follow a few key considerations. From dream appliances to spatial awareness, accessory spots and functional thoughts, here are the essential elements of the perfect bathroom remodel:
- You must consider space among everything
The feeling of space is essential to making us feel comfortable in our bathroom. Whether it be through the floor design or ensuring that everything is in its place, there is nothing more important than feeling like you have room to move when you are very much on-the-move.
So, start by thinking about ample storage space complete with gorgeous joinery handles. By producing plenty of space for your essentials you will be doing everything to declutter the room, and as such you won’t have to worry fumbling around in a messy maze of nonsense.
- Give off the idea of greater space
The next element when it comes to creating a sense of space is how you design the bathroom. You want to install elements that not only give you more space to move freely, but also provide a calming sense of space.
One such example of giving off that feeling is to install the glass shower screen. Think about it: when you step into a bathroom with a grotty old shower curtain dividing the space with all its dank old nastiness, do you feel like you have plenty of room to move?
Do you have any natural light flowing into the bathroom? Obviously, you don’t want a giant window that shows the neighbourhood how you go about getting ready, but a small window that allows in more natural light gives off a feeling of more space.
Finally, do you have a tiny mirror that encapsulates a small image of the space around you? If so, installing a larger mirror will provide the illusion of infinite space running through the bathroom – something that goes a very long way to making you feel comfortable and more at home in the room.
- Brighten the space!
Because a bathroom painted in bright, warm tones is one that provides a greater sense of calm and ease, even if we are getting ready for what appears to be a really stressful day. They also absorb any natural light, further creating a comfortable, breezy zone for getting ready for your awesome day ahead!
- Install quality appliances
If you have been wrestling with that same busted old shower head for years now, you are probably thinking about switching it up – good idea! Old bathroom appliances do nothing but frustrate us and make us feel uncomfortable in a room in which we should really feel very comfortable.
So, if your appliances have been giving you grief for too long, it is likely time to level up. Through installing stunning new showerheads, toilet components, tapware etc. you will be doing wonders for making your bathroom feel like a space where you can get ready without a hitch!
