Design ideas for the Bathroom

When you are designing you're bathroom you'll first have to decide the style, color and theme for your room. Yet, as you are choosing the perfect design for your bathroom please keep in mind that everyone in your family, as well as guest who come in your home use this room.

After choosing your design or color scheme make a bathroom plan as drawn out in the example. If you don't have a toilet, shower, and sink then you'll need to place them where the plumbing has been stubbed.

If this is merely a redesign and you already have the shower/tub, sink and toilet in place then you will only lay out where your accessories, cabinets and wall hangings will be placed. Using a pencil and paper design the floor plan and where things are currently located, see example.

After you have completed your floor plan, draw out where you would like other things to be located, perhaps you'll have a wicker laundry basket, small garbage can, elegant bathroom stand, cabinets, etc. Remember to have every object or accessory you purchase to coordinate with your theme or color choices.

If you will be redoing your flooring as well, as you have your colors and theme in mind, also keep in mind a floor that will work well with water and won't wilt or will hold the water as to not seep through to the underlying. Your flooring choice should also be easy to clean and take care of, especially if your family includes young children. If the flooring is slippery be sure to buy a rug that matches your theme.

The lighting for your bathroom should also have top priority as you redesign your bathroom. For larger bathrooms you may need lighting in a few different areas, although if you use a larger lighting structure above your mirror or ceiling you may be able to use one lighting structure. When you are shopping for light fixtures it would be a good idea to take with you the square foot of your bathroom and your drawn design, that way you can ask a specialists advice at the hardware or department store.

Whatever you decide as far as colors, styles or accessories the most important part about designing your bathroom is giving it that personal touch that incorporates comfort, warmth and a welcoming atmosphere.
