We spend a lot of time in the bathroom – it’s the first and last room of the day! Considering this it is surprising how little people think about bathroom designs. With a little bit of inspiration this room can become just as interesting and stylish as the rest of your house. You’ll enjoy the time you spend in the bathroom so much more if you’re not stuck looking at plain walls and simple fixtures. Here are some really unusual bathroom styles that might be just the ticket. Or, if they seem a little far fetched, might be enough to get you thinking.
A Zen bathroom combines flowing functionality with a sparse aesthetic value. Emphasis is placed on nature and simplicity. Zen is a great choice for smaller bathrooms because it makes the most of limited space. Shoji screens are partitions that can be used to divide or open the area as you see fit. Aim for clean, straight lines in simple colors. Light wood and white makes for a lovely Zen combination that makes a bathroom seem far more spacious.
For a more funky style, try Art Deco. Combine nickel fixtures with clean square tubs and sinks to create a simple, yet classy look. You’re aiming to include zigzagged, geometric, and jumbled shapes. An abundance of color and line is what really makes the Art Deco Style come to life. Consider having a multi-framed window or lots of tile. Tile can easily extend up the walls to create a really lavish feel. Stepped forms, zebra print, and inlaid wood and metal are all elements of the Art Deco age.
Lastly, a Victorian bathroom is a classic and graceful choice for those who prefer more tradition style. A lot of richly stained wood, elaborate hardware, and luxurious dark colors make this style perfect for larger bathrooms. A claw foot tub is a lovely and authentic addition that can be found in fiberglass and metal as well as ceramic. Stenciling the walls is another way to amp up Victorian style, and a simple and cheap way to add flair to a bathroom.
Whether one of these designs catches your fancy or the elements serve to inspire you, I hope you can see all of the options for small bathroom design. The styles are nearly unlimited, so look for something that will spruce up your boring bathroom and add a degree of style to your home. It’s never been easier to move away from the traditional all-white bathroom and incorporate elements of personal style and taste.
