Make your bathroom into a personal retreat.

Beauty and function go hand in hand in this important room.
Some obvious places to start your bathroom plan are:
- A paint color that makes you feel pampered
- An elegant vanity, maybe even a vintage table that’s repurposed
- New countertops, backsplashes and sinks
- Updated hardware, including faucets, pulls and handles, available in such a variety of looks and finishes
- Beautiful framed mirrors, instead of frameless wall-to-wall mirrors
- New layered lighting that’s beautiful AND functional, and even a skylight to bring in natural light
Redoing the shower or tub is a bigger project, but how much fun to create a luxurious bathing experience. This is a good place to spurge on finishes and hardware since you’ll enjoy them every day of the year.
Function is also key when updating a bathroom.
- Use slip-resistant flooring.
- Select finishes that are easy to clean and resistant to water, especially if you live in a humid environment.
- Plan for as much storage as you need, so the bathroom never looks cluttered.
- Include plenty of towel racks, so towels are easy to reach and have a chance to dry.
- If you have space, include a place to sit, whether it’s a built-in bench or a movable chair or stool.
