Adding a new vanity and mirror can spruce up almost any bathroom.
A good bathroom layout might require moving a main fixture or the vanity. By looking at all options in the given floor space, you might find elbow room to make the bathroom function better. In most cases, you should leave the toilet in its original position because changing the drain is quite time consuming. Try to work around the original placement, if possible, but experiment to envision several new options for the room.
Feature the Vanity Space
Designate the sink vanity wall as the focal point of the bathroom. Even if you have a small pedestal sink with a mirror over it, use color and lighting to draw the eye to this wall. You can envision various ways to place the vanity, but ensure it's instantly visible upon opening the bathroom door. A vanity doesn't have to be large. It can consist of a small antique table with a fancy bowl sink installed that rests against a large marble-look wall.
Work in a Quality Shower
A well-made shower can make a big difference. By building a tiled shower with a glass door into a corner space, you can improve a room with a small shower or no shower. Figure out place the shower in a corner space so you will have room for a table of folded towels or shelving just outside the shower to hold towels. Picture make bathing more comfortable, too. Add a foot faucet or high-quality shower massage component.
Invest in a Comfortable Tub
A soaking bathtub can give a spa feeling. You can buy a reproduction cast iron tub on legs or install a small jetted tub. If you have room for a large whirlpool tub, this will really add ambiance to the room. Don't over-crowd the space, however. A large tub that cramps the bathroom will not be very inviting. Keep everything balanced in terms of size and scale to create a harmonious feeling.
Add Tile for Beauty
Use tile for an upscale look. Add a heated floor under a tiled floor surface. Use tile on wall space for an artistic touch or cozy feeling. Tile installed around a soaking tub on the wall will help prevent splashes on drywall, too. You can add just 24 inches of tile work as a border above the tub if you want to use drywall in the top section of the space. A couple of rows of artistic tile above the sink area can add focus to the vanity as well.
Incorporate Individual Touches
Special amenities make any bath special. A nice light fixture, high-quality shelving or towel bars or an unusual storage cabinet all help a bath design look visually appealing. You want to create a design using materials, textures and colors that demonstrate you've put serious thought into the design work. Create a beautiful space that reflects good taste and effort. Tiny touches, such as special knobs on drawers in the vanity area or antique towel hooks can make a large difference.
