5 Creative Ways To Create An Extraordinary Bathroom

This article offers the homeowner a few tips on how to boost your bathroom’s appeal factor.

Contrary to what you might think, sprucing up your bathroom doesn’t have to cost an arm and leg, and there are many ways that you can add to the luxury and comfort. We spent a few hours talking with an established bathroom designer about turning an ordinary space into something stunning.

Indoor Plants

Choose something exotic. The added shades of green and brown will bring on an earthly ambience. Google ‘plants suitable for the bathroom’ and see what that brings. Broad, evergreen leaves and some dried pampas grass in a wicker vase would make the space feel warm and inviting.

Change The Faucets & Shower Head

Why not replace those dull taps with something exotic? Take a trip to your local bathroom showroom, where you’ll find the best brands at affordable prices. Adding a few accessories such as a towel rack and wall-mounted storage makes all the difference; invest in a digital shower and you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. There is a wide range of bathroom fixtures and fittings at your local bathroom store, which is better than ordering online, as you get to inspect the product in a real-life setting.

Cork Flooring

There’s nothing to compare with the soft and silent walking experience of cork underfoot. Once installed, the floor is double-sealed, so water penetration is not an issue. This is the eco-friendly floor solution. Cork orchards are harvested every 9 years, which actually helps the trees to grow and there are stunning natural finishes. If you’re going to replace the floor, you might as well replace the old bath with a stand-alone oval ceramic bath, while sink/vanity units come in many different styles. The elevated comfort alone is worth the investment and cork tiles are very easy to install.

Lighting

The lighting in a room is an integral aspect of creating the right ambience and with LED strips, you can surround mirrors and add some floor level illumination, which is very futuristic. If you’re in the planning stages of your bathroom revamp, visit that cool Woking bathroom designers or bathroom showrooms in your city and take a look at the best brands and a whole range of bathroom accessories, including lighting.

Mirror Tiles

Brighten up the room with a row of mirror tiles, which are inexpensive and easy to install. Choose a smoky tint to soften the ambience and add a couple of stainless-steel towel racks. If your bathroom has limited space, creating a reflection from the window makes the room feel more spacious. You could add a carefully placed antique mirror for good effect or maybe change the shower screen to a reflective surface.

The bathroom is that special place where we can relax and forget about the pressures of life; light a scented candle, relax in the tub and recharge your batteries. If you’re stuck for ideas, pay the bathroom showroom a visit this coming weekend and see what they have in stock. Bring the room dimensions and discuss layout with their designer.
