When it comes to bathroom remodeling, homeowners are far more interested in expressing their individuality and sense of style than they are in following current design or decorating trends, according to a study released by Architectural Digest magazine. So after your dream bathroom has been completed, here are some quick tips to give your bath a unique look:
1) Add decorative details.
Add a simple detail, such as a picture rail or shelf along one wall, to display framed prints or small collectibles like perfume bottles.
2) Pretty toiletry containers.
Fill antique bowls or shaving mugs with pretty toiletries, such as soaps or bath salts.
3) Accent furniture.
If you have room, consider adding a piece of outdoor furniture like a wicker chair or table.
4) Accent lighting.
Add accent lighting like a low-voltage strip of lights around the top edge of the wall tile.
5) Decorative architecture.
Draw attention to the ceiling with decorative wood beams.
6) Mirrors.
Line an entire wall with mirrored cabinets. They will make the room look significantly more open.
7) Stains instead of paints.
Color wash wood cabinets. Instead of paint, try a colored stain to revive wood cabinets or a vanity.
8) Fresh flowers.
Add fresh flowers or flowering plants to the room. Seek out unusual vessels, such as wall vases, old watering cans or window boxes to hold your favorite flora.
9) Linen Closet Doors
If your bathroom has a linen closet with a door, replace the door with a framed trellis, a reproduction of a Victorian screen door, frosted glass, or something that adds a contrasting element.
10) Mix-and-match.
Attach a beveled mirror to the wall over the sink and frame it with tiles. You can use a selection of mix-and-match tiles or try some colorful mosaics.
