Forget the sterile white boxes most bathrooms resemble! Your bathroom is an oasis, a place to unwind and recharge. So ditch the generic design and create a space that reflects your unique personality and sense of style. Here are 6 unconventional yet elegant tips to transform your washroom into a personal haven of sophistication:
1. Embrace the Unexpected
Skip the predictable subway tile. Instead, create a statement wall with textured wallpaper that complements your chosen theme. Think Moroccan trellis for a spa vibe or a whimsical mermaid pattern for a touch of whimsy. You can pair it up with stylish grating to complete the look. Some gratings are convenient where you can add tiles on top of it for it to appear slimmer and edgy.
2. Light Up Your Luxury Life
Say no to the harsh overhead lighting. Layered lighting is key! Install dimmer switches for a spa-like ambiance, and add sconces on either side of the mirror for a touch of Hollywood glam. Fairy lights tucked around the vanity or bathtub can add a touch of magic. In addition to that, if you can add an LED mirror that has anti-fog technology that would add functionality with elegance. And the combination of shimmering lights will create an aesthetic vibe for you.
3. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Mirrors aren’t just for vanity checks and creating an elegant ambiance. Strategically placed mirrors can create the illusion of a larger space and bounce light around the room. Consider a full-length mirror on the back of the washroom door, or a mosaic mirror feature wall for a truly unique touch. Putting mirrors in a way that would make your guests look twice can be another way to establish a unique washroom aesthetic.
4. Vintage Vibes
Hit the thrift stores or local antique shops! A clawfoot bathtub adds a touch of old-world charm, while a vintage vanity with mismatched knobs gives your bathroom a one-of-a-kind personality. You can easily find some bath vanities that are versatile and classy. Pick a theme for your bathroom and get a bath vanity that matches it to create a more vintage look without overshowing it. Â
5. Nature’s Touch
Bring the outdoors in! A hanging plant or strategically placed succulents add a touch of life and serenity to your washroom. Pebble flooring in the shower can create a spa-like experience, and woven baskets for towels add a natural, textural element. Choosing a bathtub that is ergonomic in style also complements the overall natural washroom experience and feel.
6. Scentastic Escape
Appeal to all your senses! Invest in a diffuser that emits calming essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus. Scented candles are another great option, but prioritize safety with flameless candles or wax melts. The aromatic environment with the perfect set of easy-to-use accessories will surely help you relax after a long day giving you a dreamy experience.
