5 Bathroom Design Tips From This Week’s Stories
These ideas can make a difference in how your bathroom looks and feels
2. Go green for a look that’s fresh and clean. Green is a great color for perking up bathrooms, because it’s a vibrant hue with a clean, refreshing feel — perfect for spaces where you want a hygienic vibe. Here the color dominates as a minty hue through subway tile, while a custom handmade wood vanity and a woven basket add a bit of natural warmth.

3. Add texture with the vanity and mirror. If you do wish to go with mostly white surfaces for that super-clean feel, consider bringing in a bit of warmth and texture with wood. This Canadian bathroom shows two great places to include the rustic material: on the vanity and as a mirror frame.

4. Keep the palette simple in compact spaces. In small spaces, layering in too many colors and materials makes the room visually busy really quickly.

5. Play up open spaces. When you’ve got abundant space, you might as well celebrate it. The designers of this spec home in Texas, where wide-open spaces are often found inside as well as out, highlighted the spaciousness of the bathroom with the combination of an open shower and a stand-alone tub, set on large-format tiles unobstructed by any sort of curb or delineation from the vanity area. Meanwhile, a clerestory window helps punctuate the high ceiling with plenty of natural light.
