09.12.2018 Home Improvement by Somfy Team Great Bathroom Ideas We spend a lot of time in our bathrooms - showering, putting on makeup, making sure toothpaste isn't smeared on our cheeks, and so on. In this blog, we'll explore some ways you can make your bathroom perfect for you. Rethink What it Needs In history, bathrooms have traditionally looked the same. All the designs have had the same features, perhaps in different colours, perhaps arranged in a different way. These days, that should no longer apply. Is the Bath Being Used? A great bathroom should be one that is uniquely suited to you, which is why more and more people are moving away from the traditional bath and shower, choosing to go for the shower only. Some choose to remove the bath and create a bigger walk-in shower, saving both water and space. After all, if you don't use your bath, why have it? You could simply make your shower more luxurious. Increased Storage Floating vanities have come into style, and designers suggest they are here to stay. Why? Because not only do they take up less space and add gorgeous elegance to your room, they also create room underneath for storage. Instead of storing your towels inside the vanity, you could simply store them underneath in a slide-under basket. If you like solid standing vanities, however, consider adding floating shelves for some modern storage. Consider Automation Add some modern technology to your bathroom to really make it stand out. Homeowners have been adding mood lighting and motorised blinds, both of which can be controlled by a remote, on your smartphone or with your voice. Either way, automation provides a convenient way to integrate modernity into one of the most important rooms in your home. Make it Pop Colour There is no reason your bathroom should be neutral - unless, of course, you like it that way. Many designers nowadays recommend adding a bit of colour to make your bathroom pop, whether that colour is in your vanity, around the side of your mirror, on your window treamtnets, or even on your window frames. If you're feeling bold, you could even consider adding a feature wall! Design If colour isn't your thing, make it pop through integration of one solid design. If elegance is more your style, consider tiling all the way to the ceiling, and going with window coverings that have a beautiful cream colour. Remember, as this room is prone to heat and moisture, you need to be careful about which treatments you choose in this room. Read our Window Coverings for your Bathroom blog for our tips. Decorate If nothing else, decorate. Add a plant, an interesting item or painting to your bathroom. Make sure to get something that really represents you, or that gives you a joyous feeling when you enter your bathroom. After all, you're there every day, so why not? There are so many bathroom ideas out there, but it's all about finding what's best for you and your situation.
