Here are few design tips that you can apply to your future planned space:

WALL, DÉCOR, AND COLOR

If the walls have soft or earth tones, either choose a dark or light colored floor mats, towels, and curtains. Choose fixtures that have modern touch. You can purchase contemporary accessories from the local stores like de-constructed chandelier, fancy towel holders, and artsy wall decors. If you choose traditional designs, do not incorporate modern-looking fixtures to the conventional items. The room will look better if you will add fresh blooms and scented candles to create a romantic ambience.

TILES

Tiles can be used for the floor as well as on the lower half of the walls. Choose a bigger-sized for the floor so that there will be less grout lines. This is where most of the dirt hides and it can be hard to keep them clean. You can choose a different size for the walls but you can be creative by laying them either diagonally or you can add a different color or design between two similar tiles. This is a simple way of decorating yet practical for people who are not creative enough to think of ways how to beautify their space.

LIGHTING

You can choose a natural light or an artificial one. Lighting is utilized to brighten the room or create a mood. If you want to save on electricity, have bigger windows and have a skylight installed. This will bring in natural light and you will get to see the view around your property while you bathe. An artificial lighting can be an overhead light or you can have a few of it installed around the vanity mirror.

STORAGE

Utilize spaces like the walls or underneath the sink. Have cabinets installed in the wall for linens, towels, and toiletries. The one underneath the sink can be used to store cleaning agents. A medicine cabinet can also be installed over the toilet.

Make use of the different resources that you can find around you to help you when you plan for a new bathroom. Read magazines, watch TV shows that are about home decorations, and ask professionals for tips to help you get started with your plan.
