5 Tips for a Designer Bathroom

Giving your bathroom a designer makeover may be easier than you think. Even if you don't consider yourself an expert decorator or designer, these tips can help you design and decorate a bathroom that flows with the rest of your home and create a space that lets you relax and pamper yourself.

Update the Lighting

If your bathroom is dark and dreary, add some new lighting. Don't be afraid to use fun and unique light fixtures to bring interest and style to the room.

Enhance the Mirror

Upgrade the mirror in your bathroom by installing a new one or adding to the one you already have. One easy trick is to install molding around the mirror to frame it and give it a quick upgrade.

Use Coordinated Linens and Accessories

Designer bathrooms always have coordinated linens and accessories. The towels, rugs, shower curtains and drapes in your bathroom don't need to match exactly, but if they are coordinated your bathroom will look professionally designed and have a finished look.

Don't Forget the Walls

Designer bathrooms hardly ever have bare walls. Hang pictures, artwork, a clock, mirrors or even planters on your bathroom walls to add to the room's design. Use these elements to add balance and make the room flow with the rest of your home's decor.

Consider Remodeling

Remodeling to add storage, new fixtures or update the tiling in your bathroom can add a lot to the room. Before you start this kind of project, make sure your appliances are in working order and plan for things like toilet repair, leak repair and clog removal. Then, work with a professional plumber who can help you with the technical aspects of your project.

These tips can help you upgrade your bathroom and make it look like it was created by a designer. A beautiful and comfortable bathroom not only looks good, but is also an inviting space for relaxing with a hot shower or bath at the end of the day.
