Bathroom Styles?


Your bathroom’s style is one of the most visible aspects of a beautiful bathroom. Before rushing into the renovation of your bathroom you should carefully think about the bathroom style and think about the look that you are after.

You need to consider the two distinct moods that a bathroom well have.
Speed is important in the morning because normally you will want to get clean and out the door in the fastest time possible. Having a have good shower with plenty of hot water, good ventilation so that mirrors don't fog, twin basins so that more than one person can use it at a time, good lighting and plenty of mirror space will help to ease this morning traffic jam.
The bathroom's function and mood will change in the evening. The bathroom becomes a place that we can linger, relax and unwind in, so some of the things we need to create this mood are things like low-key lighting, deep inviting baths, and a calm spa-like ambiance.

People are putting a higher value on bathrooms today compared to in the past – both in terms of dollars and attitude. Some home bathrooms rival those in top spas or resort hotels.

The key feature of this bathroom style is the deep, luxurious bath with multiple jets, have the pride of place, either being built into step-up or step-down bath surrounds

if you plan the bathroom's location well you can preserve your privacy, while allowing doors or windows to be opened onto courtyards, gardens, or views
The use of high windows or skylights can be a great way to bring shafts of natural light into the bathroom

Putting simple bowl shaped basins in your bathroom which can be either wall-hung, mounted on plinths or on top of simple cabinets will give the illusion of a ‘wash-stand'

Spa resorts have open recessed shelves, built into walls which are great for holding towels, toiletries and candles and lost of other things

Have a good task lighting system around the mirror area so you have plenty of light for make-up and shaving, but have ambient lighting also so you can create a nice relaxed atmosphere for your bathroom at night.
