8 Innovative Ways to Revamp Your Master Bathroom
Is it time to give your master bathroom a makeover? It may just need a face lift or it might be time for a complete gut job. Whether you have a large budget or are trying to do it without breaking the bank, you can revamp your master bath with these 8 innovative ideas.
#1 Add a frameless glass shower enclosure
Clear glass provides no barrier to the human eye. It allows you to see what is on the other side with no distortion. Using a frameless glass shower enclosure allows you to take advantage of this clear line of sight. This is a particular advantage in smaller spaces where you want to make the room look larger. Its modern aesthetic appeals to anyone who wants a minimalist design.
#2 Add furniture style storage
If you don’t have a linen closet built into the bathroom, furniture-style storage is the next best thing. For bathrooms with plenty of space, think of a large armoire filled with towels and toiletries. With a bit less space, a tall cabinet with glass doors offers a classic place for storage. For those who are truly space challenged, a ladder-inspired shelf would do the trick.
#3 Use a floating vanity
Look around any bathroom design space and you are going to see vanities of all sorts. The floating style vanity hangs off the wall with no floor support at all. The floor space beneath helps to visually expand the room’s floor space, making the room appear larger. Its decidedly modern vibe can also work for other design aesthetics if done in the right material.
#4 Go with contrast
Pairing two contrasting colors can give any room a dramatic makeover. A classic example is black and white. But, what about blue and white? Or Black and red? Contrasting colors bring drama and excitement to even the smallest space. If you want to expand a space visually, but still embrace a bit of drama, go white on all permanent surfaces and choose a bright color for the shower curtain, rugs, and towels.
#5 Use natural wood
Ceramic, porcelain, and granite are mainstays in modern bathrooms. To contrast these hard surfaces, bring in natural wood. While wood floors are not ideal in a bathroom, a wood lapped wall is a great way to introduce texture to the space. A vanity made entirely from wood brings warmth into the space. If you truly want a wood-look to the floors, choose a wood-inspired tile instead.
#6 Take tile to the ceiling
Don’t stop the tile line midway up the wall. Take it all the way to the ceiling. This helps the room look taller plus it helps protect the walls from moisture. If your budget can’t handle all that tile, then take it to the ceiling only on one wall, like behind a shower enclosure.
#7 Add display space
The master bathroom is a personal space. Why not give yourself room to personalize it? Display space allows you to bring in personal or decorative items, without the need to put them on the counter. You can display a photo of the family or a collection of shells you got on your last vacation to the beach. You can change things up as the seasons change or as holidays come and go.
#8 Go a bit industrial
If you want something different in your space, think industrial. You don’t have to do the entire room to still have a dramatic effect. Replace your current light fixtures with ones with an industrial style. Change out your towel racks for those made from industrial pipe. Cover a wall in brick tile for a loft feel.
