5 Bathroom renovation ideas

1. Which wall covering can be mixed with other materials?

Yes you can mix and match. Creativity is always welcome. You just have to make sure whether to put wallpaper or leave some wall with paint, in both cases must be materials that resist moisture well (especially in bathrooms without good ventilation). In the case of wallpaper, vinyl is usually the best option.

Mixing different ceramic or paste tiles (red or white), try that the two or three (but not more) that are chosen are of different sizes and styles. The idea is to break textures, shapes and colors creating differentiated spaces that bring dynamism and style to the whole.

Look for two contrasting colors or two contrasting textures, where one goes unnoticed and the other gets all the attention.

2. Shower tray or shower enclosure?

The main thing in this case is to make sure that the bathroom is sufficiently uneven so that it drains well.

If the bathroom allows it, to make a shower of work that is flush with the floor will give a sense of uniformity and continuity to the whole bathroom.

In the case that it is necessary to raise a little to obtain the sufficient fall the sufficient fall the shower tray is the most comfortable option and aesthetically it helps to mark that small jump of natural form.

3. Recessed or overhead faucets?

More and more flush-mounted faucets are becoming increasingly popular and aesthetically they are very elegant. They are also functional because they leave the leave the sink countertop clearer (something very practical in small bathrooms).

If you opt for the faucet over the sink, today there are very elegant designs that will also help to give the bathroom a new look.

4. How to illuminate the bathroom?

There are three types of lighting to consider:

Cenital, or the ceiling of all life: The simplest, most practical and functional is to opt for several spotlights placed in different areas of the bathroom (sink area, toilet and shower area) so that there is a homogeneous light and illuminate everything.

Wall lights in the mirror area: The mirror is a key piece in the bathroom and therefore it is important that it is well illuminated. Different options: place a wall lamp over the mirror or put one or two ceiling lamps suspended on the sides. Both options are equally valid and beautiful everything will depend on the style you want to give to the whole.

Indirect lights in pits or niches: to give a glamorous touch to the bathroom you can not miss an area of indirect light. Modifying the ceiling can be used to create a small pit and introduce an LED strip in the shower area for example. If the walls allow it, you can create a niche and also illuminate it with an LED strip. The result will be surprising.

5. How to give a personal touch to the whole set?

Include some element that does not look like a bathroom. Play with things like the mirror. One option is a round mirror with a backlit frame… Even play with materials, putting a wooden frame, in black or gold.

Be original with the lighting of the mirror also with sconces or lamps that are not bathroom lamps and to break the symmetries by placing them on one side.

And finally, if you have chosen to mix different materials on the walls, play with color or contrasts. Breaking the uniformity of the walls will make the bathroom out of the ordinary.
