7 Bathroom Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Bathroom Renovation

A bathroom renovation is a great way to add style, luxury and value to your property. Bathrooms make a statement about your home: the age, the style, the standard and the functionality. So renovating your bathroom can transform your home from looking dated and worn to something modern and lush!  We’ve put together 7 bathroom design ideas to help you find your dream bathroom.

1. Bathroom Ideas - Feature Wall

Bathroom walls don't have to be all white walls. An all white bathroom has been on trend for the past few years. However, feature walls help to draw the eye to contrasting floor tiles without coming across as over the top. Textures can be added with stone, wood or glass to create a contemporary and unique feel for a more modern bathroom. For example, stone feature walls give the feeling of a luxury bathroom. A mosaic wall creates a timeless element with eye catching contrasts. If your bathroom is smaller with limited space, a feature wall may not be feasible. In this case, consider adding a smaller feature area such as a concave or alcove to create that wow factor.

2. Bathroom Design Lighting Ideas

There’s nothing better than natural light in a bathroom. Not only does it save on electricity, but it also allows sunlight to get through, which helps to prevent mould. If you don’t have the space for a large window, consider adding a skylight to flood your room with warm natural light. Set the mood with your lighting by including these three essential elements: task lighting, ambient lighting and accent lighting.  A well thought out combination of these three layers of lighting (along with your natural light) will allow you to change the feeling of the room to match any mood.  For example, add overhead lighting for tasks such as applying makeup or shaving. Or try pendant lights for a more romantic space. Pendant lights in your bathroom are great for setting the mood. 

3. Feature Bathtub For Your Dream Bathroom

Whether you want to relax and unwind from a busy day's work, have a break from the kids, or simply enjoy a night in with a good book and glass of wine, nothing says tranquility like a feature bathtub. With our fast paced busy lives, a bath is a great way to relax and turn off from work and technology. Do you love a well crafted freestanding tub? If you have extra space in your bathroom, consider adding a master bath.

4. Bathroom Decor - The Vanity Unit

The right bathroom vanity unit or bathroom sink can help you showcase your style and personality. As a key focal point it sets the style and tone for the whole room. When used by multiple people, double sinks offer extra functionality by reducing morning traffic. But more is not always better. Double sinks will reduce bench space, so decide whether extra bench space is what you need or do you need double sinks. There are many options when it comes to the look and feel of your vanity unit or sink area. A stylish wooden vanity adds texture and warmth, is always on trend and suits a range of styles and colours. Whereas modern bathroom vanities are enduringly popular and designed to suit a variety of architecture. A classic cabinet-style vanity can add charm to a character home.

5. When Storage Meets Style - Bathroom Storage

From towels to beauty products, getting the right amount of bathroom storage is essential to maintaining a clean bathroom and reducing the time to get ready each morning.  There are many options for bathroom storage that are not only practical but aesthetically pleasing whether it be hanging shelving, under cabinet storage organisers or a bathroom wall cabinet. Having practical bathroom storage that reduces the clutter and clears up surfaces is a must. Find a home for your products to make everyday life easier.

6. Dedicated Bathroom Zones

The main bathroom is often extremely busy especially with all of the morning traffic. It needs to be functional and durable for everyday use. If you have a bathroom that services the whole household, consider adding dedicated zones by separating the toilet, shower and sinks or vanities to allow for uninterrupted flow and increased bathroom functionality.

7. Floor and Wall Tiles 

Main bathrooms need to be durable for frequent use and regular cleaning. Wall and floor tiles are a practical choice for bathrooms because they are hard wearing, easy to clean and they look great. Floor to ceiling tiles can create an infinity feel, making small spaces feel larger. Placing large rectangular wall tiles horizontally can help make the room look wider.
