Asian Influenced Styles That Make For A Warmer, More Inviting Modern BathroomModern styled bathrooms can be chronically chilly. For all their sleek, minimal chic and elegance, the bare-bones style and often industrial palette can end up feeling cold and inhospitable. But pairing the simple lines and geometric designs of modern decor with a subtle Asian influence can dramatically change the vibe for a much warmer, more inviting space. Trading out concrete, steel, and glass monochromes for wood, natural neutrals, and inviting pops of red and gold will immediately turn your bathroom from a sterile space into an exotic getaway. Sound like a place you´d like to soak? Here´s how to get started. Compact Vanities For A Bold, Beautiful Look Even In A Small BathroomWhen you´re remodeling a small bathroom, you don´t really have the luxury of a lot of the decor options you´d have in a bigger space. No ho-humming about whether to get the 66" or 72" soaking tub when all you have room for is a shower - but that doesn´t mean you can´t have a stylish, functional bathroom even if it´s more the size of a water closet - you just have to be smart with your space. A funky, eye-catching but compact vanity can serve you two ways: by providing storage with a small footprint, and enough style in a small package to make your whole bathroom pop. Cozy Country Cottage Design For Your BathroomA good bathroom should be, above all else, comfortable. So while I tend to favor a more modern, minimalist design in other rooms, the bathrooms I like best always have a quaint, country style. The combination of slightly rustic furnishings, light, welcoming colors, and vintage fixtures always makes me feel relaxed and at ease - which is exactly what I want to surround myself with when I take a good long soak in the bath. But how, specifically, can you create a country cottage or beach house design? It´s actually relatively simple... Give Your Bathroom A Sleek, Modern Look With A Wall Mount VanityModern design is all about balancing sleek lines and basic shapes with empty space. The minimalist feel makes your space seem larger than it is, and leaves it looking clean and refined. A bathroom typically has less furniture than any other room in your home, which means it already tends toward a modern sparsity. In fact, in most bathrooms really the only piece of furniture is the vanity, and swapping that out for a modern wall-mounted vanity, coupled with a few accessories can completely change the look and feel of your bathroom. Having Trouble Finding A Vanity To Fit Your Bathroom? A White Vanity Might Be Just What You NeedBathroom vanities come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and style - from antique to modern, plain wood and just about any paint color, there are so many options out there it can be a little difficult to choose. That said, I´d like to take a moment to stand in defense of the white vanity: simple, clean, light, and bright, white vanities are supremely versatile and work well with just about any decor. From casual, airy cottage or seaside styles to bold, high-contrast modern design, white vanities are always in style, and can hugely change the look and feel of your bathroom. So what can a white vanity do for you? How To Design Your Very Own Beautiful Black And White BathroomWhite is a clean, bright color, and black is sleek and bold, but together they make a killer style combination. The very essence of contrast, light and dark, a black and white decor is just about the boldest design choice you can make, and a bathroom is the perfect place to try the style on for size. Since many bathroom elements come in black and white already, it isn’t a big leap, and typically a bathroom is literally a smaller space than others you’d be decorating, which makes it a sensible choice for a wild decor. Mirror Mirror… Romantic Bathroom VanitiesArriving nicely dressed to work every single day might be the key to success, but appearing well groomed is easier for some than others. It depends on a person’s type of hair, whether or not he has tattoos, or has a talent for ironing or suffers any chronic acne. Life can be cruel. The bathroom vanity was aptly named such because it is a place in the home where we focus all our attention on our appearances. It is an altar to the self. In this world human vanity is a necessary evil, and so throughout history we have commissioned artisans to build beautiful drawers and basins to aid our attention to hygiene and grooming. Opulent Antique Bathroom Design For A Truly Lavish Period StyleWhen it comes to designing a truly peerless bathroom, you really have to go all the way. You see, a designer bath isn´t just one thing - not your bathtub, not your shower, not your vanity, but the way all the parts interplay. For a modern style bathroom, this is pretty easy to do - all sleek lines and minimal decor in a matching color scheme, and you´ll have something unified. But a regal, antique style bathroom requires a little more coordination - while the period of your pieces don´t necessarily have to be historically accurate, or even corresponding, texture, color, and light become much more important... Simple, Unexpected Accent Furniture To Make Your Bathroom ShineWhen people talk about "decor", they usually mean those finishing touches - big and small - that you use to perfect the look and feel of your living room. Sometimes it comes up in the context of a kitchen or bedroom as well, but more often than not the bathroom is hugely overlooked. Now, that isn´t to say that it´s totally unheard of in a bathroom - far from it - but usually homeowners stick to smaller details - towels, shower curtains, designer mirrors, or the occasional candle holder. But adding full sized accent furnitur - not just small designer touches - can really do wonders for your bathroom as well. The best part? Since it´s uncommon, it´ll be eye catching and even more unique. Small Bathroom? No Problem! The Magic Rule To Maximizing Your Storage SpaceHas your bathroom ever felt more like a water closet? If you have a small bathroom - and I mean really small, like squeezing around your door small, not like "where will I put this hot tub" small - it can be hard to find a place to put all your basic bathroom stuff while keeping the room looking nice. But even if remodeling isn´t feasible (or wouldn´t help - and I´ve been in bathrooms that small!), that doesn´t mean you´re doomed to a room full of piles of hair care products for all eternity. With the right accessories and one simple piece of advice, you´ll have no problem stowing or camouflaging your unmentionables while keeping your bathroom in model shape. What is it? Simple: use your vertical space!
