Multiple bathrooms are now considered to be the norm in newly constructed homes. Even in apartments with only one bedroom, it is not uncommon to find a separate bathroom designated as a powder room. The bathroom is usually the most overlooked part of the design. If you decide to renovate it yourself, keep in mind that these spaces play an important role in connecting your home.
Looking at the big picture and making your bathrooms consistent throughout the house will help you make that connection, establish better flow, and increase the value of your home.
How to achieve the look of having uniform bathrooms, while keeping it unique?
Having the bathrooms with the same design elements doesn’t have to be boring. You should start by selecting the same base materials, same type tiles, which can be different color and you can bring little bit of an individuality to each of them.
Sanitary ware and metals are important considerations when designing your bathroom. You should think about what kind of design you want to achieve and stick to it throughout the house. Never combine different metals and finishes, such as chrome with mat black or white with brass.
Some argue that having completely different designs across different bathrooms may not be seen by your visitors because they will not be using the master bathroom, for example, but the bottom line is that this will depreciate the value of your property if not done correctly.
When selecting a contractor to install the tiles, inquire about how they treat the finishes. It is the small details that distinguish your home from being well-done and having a luxurious appearance from being merely put together.
As an example, consider how the tile corners are connected. Avoid contractors who are unable to make a 45-degree angle connection. This will provide a seamless transition and highlight the tile’s design.
Speaking of tiles, I’d like to share some expert advice with you.
Don’t be afraid of the oversized tiles; this is especially useful if you have a small bathroom. A lot of grouts will draw your attention, whereas big tiles with smooth transitions will remove that, allowing your eye to move across the room.
Making the floors darker and the walls lighter will help to lift the heaviness and make the room feel light and airy.
Another option is to use the same tiles in the same or slightly lighter value and lift them up to the walls. To achieve the best results with this method, consult with someone with extensive experience, such as those at BLAK Interiors.
